Ian Pethick Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Realistically, that has to be it for Truro's play off chances. They would have thought that they were firm favourites to take the points against a Salisbury side that had lost 4 out of their last 5 games, with Steve Claridge advising that they only had 5 fit players on the morning of the match. Regarding the crowd, read on a Salisbury FC supporters page that one of their travelling contingent won the 50/50... it was a whopping great £25! Sums it up really. mattelot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reesy Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Just read that Dickie Evans is stepping away from the Pirates and Truro City. Leaving a financial package for the Pirates over the next few seasons but ending financial support for Truro City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Man Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 What is there to invest in? No ground, and not likely to be one, at least for the foreseeable future. Just cannot see any reason why Cornwall Council will, or even should, cough up £3 million when the government is not going to. Stadium for Cornwall is dead in the water as far as I can see. Feel sorry for the true City supporters; should never have given their ground away. Ian Pethick, Town Fan, mattelot and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craze Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 This club is going back to park football standard. No ground, no home, no money. Stick a fork in us, we're done.

sportsman10 Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Rumour that 3-4 may be moving to parkway next season. Can see why they want too. when they are stood on the sidelines looking at that fantastic ground. watching them play in front of a proper crowd a progressive club on the up . you wonder what the future is for Truro if no funding and no ground . Will be back to ground zero playing on a council pitch and changing in the cars. 38 minutes ago, Craze said: This club is going back to park football standard. No ground, no home, no money.

Ron Ratchford Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Too many silly rumours floating around about TCFC. It has already been stated that they will be back for the season after next, at the latest. The two million pound fro the quitting of Treyew Rd is locked away with Cornwall Council. With the possibility of TCFC being released by Dickie Evans to a buyer, who quite possibly will want to have his team playing where the supporters are. I have organised my season ticket in advance for 2023-24.... Devils@Dusk and TheolderIgetthebetterIwas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsman10 Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 I don’t know how you can get that passionate about Truro. I mean none of the players come from there I bet half haven’t even stepped foot in Truro in years . They don’t have a ground . And no Truro youngster probably even knows that exist . It literally a load of players and Manager from Devon playing under a Truro banner. At least Falmouth have an identity and players to get behind. mattelot, Ian Pethick and Town Fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ratchford Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 TCFC are committed to Truro, end of. We have a very successful Reserve side, in their first season they are making their mark and will have the best ground, as the Treyew property gets installed at Tregye (planning permission granted this week for that). The U18s aren't doing too bad either, with other junior pathway sides likely. Don't write off Truro City quite yet. A Cornish side with ambitions, now there is something.

Can't blame the fans either since they have been totally abandoned and haven't been properly considered over the last few years when decisions have been made over the locations of the "Home " grounds. Blatantly only considered the travel miles of the players in those decisions. Sorry but you reap what you sow. By the way, feel really sorry for the genuine City fans (including you actually) in this. None of this debacle is their fault but there is no football team to support in a city the size of Truro.

I've a horrible forebodibg that the White Tigers could go under. They cannot be anything like a sustainable club playing at Bolitho Park. Season over fior Truro, sadly.
