cornishteddyboy Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 I see Dickie Evans has started fundraising to pull in £2.5M to keep Truro City and the Pirates going. He says he has £1.3M in the kitty but needs the rest. Says £2M for Pirates, and £500,000 is for Truro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pethick Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 No shortage of plot twists in this soap opera. The piece on the BBC website advises that they are hopeful of completing the new ground by March 2024, which is around 9 months away. If so, they must be well underway with the construction work by now. Can anybody local to that area confirm this? Town Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsman10 Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 That brilliant so the people of Truro are being asked to invest in their home team even tho the majority of them can’t even go to watch them. Why would anyone put money in not knowing at all we’re it is going. I mean would someone in Truro be happy their hard earn money is going towards refurbishing the Plymouth parkway toilets. mattelot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly all Plymout based players and Management !! I doubt they’ll even see out the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 I'd rather invest my 10 quid with New Inn Titans. I'm not a business man, so how does Kernow sport Ltd make money to survive? golong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm - City I like, Pirates I don’t give a stuff about. Wouldn’t want to commit any money to the latter and it seems like most money raised will go that way. It is a NO from me. Think Tricky Dickie not going to pull the wool over people’s eyes with that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Partridge Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Is the money going towards day to day running of the clubs or trying to fund new stadium? I'd rather see Truro playing back home at a lower level than continue this nomadic existence. Scott Foley - The Jam Tart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenman Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 Probably because I'm either a miserable bugger OR I'm a realist , I look at crowdfunding schemes of various types and ask myself " Ah yes but would they do it for me if the situation was reversed ?" mattelot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 I still don’t get what you’re investing in ? How do you make any money back ?? no ground , and any small amount money generated during match days. With drink and food etc goes straight into parkway pockets And even if you are a die hard fan. The chances are 85p of your pound will go to prop up the rugby anyway . Absolutely mad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its not an investment opportunity its a plea for funds which has been done in a really odd and borderline dishonest way IMO. sportsman10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Deacon Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 For those that have registered your interest, you should now have your exclusive early access to invest. You can invest from as little as £10, but apparently investments from £100 get special rewards! Perhaps it’s appropriate to suggest as with any investment, there is a risk involved.
