Craze Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 1-0 down against one of the poorer sides in the division at home. Time for the manager to go. This season has been a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccer Follower Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Only attracting 102 spectators and losing 0-1 against next to bottom of the league Wimborne Town is not good.They have games in hand on some of the teams above them but these teams have points on the board and,even if Truro City won these games,they are still reliant on other teams doing them a favour as it is currently out of their hands as regards getting into the play offs. Truro's public relations is abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccer Follower Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 An 87th minute equaliser from Zac Hartley and winner from Rocky Neal in the 96th minute. Goals by Thomas Bath in 85th and 95th minutes at Sholing Good win that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craze Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 There it is, Truro skank a 96th minute winner at home, against relegation certs, down to ten men and the fanbase will say everythings ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pethick Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Huge three points for Parkway at Sholing. Play off places are now within striking distance. Next up, another big game on Tuesday night against a Barnstaple side that are still bottom, but on an escape mission with a new chairman, manager and load of new signings. Hopefully the pitch is still playable after Truro's match today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted March 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Truro could have done with Chesham losing, but otherwise results not too bad for them. Perhaps a well done for coming back late on is appropriate. Interesting to hear, considering the present situation with the Stadium4Cornwall dragging on never ending, as to what you guys above suggest the club should do?

Truro's public relations is abysmal. I must be missing something important. Surely it’s worth waiting until the final whistle before you rip a team apart, and then, when they win, see at least SOME positives.

sportsman10 Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 The Truro decision to play at bolitho was probably done on the thinking they pick up the parkway crowds when parkway are away . But it just hasn’t happened at all. Embarrassing crowds for a team in that league. . Not sure why could just be purely down to cost . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 I'm not sure Parkway supporters would stay to watch Truro just because its on their ground. They are probably happy with the rent money and thats it. No interest in what Truro do one bit id imagine. mattelot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to hear, considering the present situation with the Stadium4Cornwall dragging on never ending, as to what you guys above suggest the club should do? 1. Communicate clearly with the fanbase 2. Move the club back to Cornwall, even if it means dropping down divisions. 3. Be ridiculously active in the local community. 4. Work harder to establish Truro City as the academy for Cornwall 5. Free tickets for all under 16's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen as unwelcome guests and a nuisance by some at Parkway from what I gather. Know that finances are a consideration, and it's easy to be wise after the event, but more could have been done to lure the non travelling Parkway or floating fans. Half price for Parkway season ticket holders or free entry to Parkway youth players if accompanied by a paying adult for example. But hey, isn't hindsight great. Of course, another factor in the almost complete absence of City travelling support could be the runaway success of Falmouth this season proving a bigger attraction. sportsman10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go to see them now, I did 15 years ago religiously, and I live up near Swindon... so was prepared to travel when we were down in the Toolstation leagues Just to clarify my position, I kept going up until the covid non-season. The cancelling of that season ruined football for me. It wasn't fair Liverpool (my boyhood team) were allowed to win the league. While Truro were denied a rightful promotion - more bluntly it annoyed me that teams like Jersey Bulls were mathematically up and then the plug was pulled.

Ron Ratchford Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 No Dave, so often this season Truro have been the better side, but leak silly goals after the 90 minutes. Nice to watch us turn that around yesterday TheolderIgetthebetterIwas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
