allforone1889 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Another top class from City beaten by a Easter goal after 15 minutes after City had hit the bar and had two cleared off the line, if there performances over the pre season is anything to go by they will be one of the top runners for promotion. City included new trialist Dave Wilkinson from Crystal Palace in goal and he perfomed very well on the night and is in the squad to face Torquay this Friday, young Baker at left back was once again impressive.

100%cornish Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I was at the truro match last night in all the rain i drove up from newquay hoping to see a decent plymouth side how wrong i was mostly young players and graham stack thrown in . i think plymouth conned the fans by sending down that side and should send down a decent side i left at half time soaking wet i am a plymouth supporter of over 35 years and i think we will struggle this year sturrock out by xmas and it would be lovely to get holloway back at least he was a laugh , well done truro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasa Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Sorry 100%Cornish. You're an argyle fan and you want Holloway back. Did you not know the reasons why he left? If he ever stepped foot in Plymouth again I'm sure there would be a few thousand people chasing him straight back out. And Sturrock gone. Where have you been in the last 5 years of your 35??

Graham Martin Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Well, apart from Stack -who was excellent - Argyle also had Fallon, Easter, Doumbe, Folly and Bolasie in their side. Plus plenty of others keen to make a big impression. Shame you went at half-time - opinions from those who stayed and watched were that it was a very entertaining game.

allforone1889 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well said St.Darren there were no reports to any of the Stewards and there was several around the ground, if this person did hear something why wasn't it reported to a steward once again statement from a person who it turns out never witnessed any incident. We as a club will not tolerate any racist chant or comment from any spectator if heard the club would take immediate action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rabinowitz_The_Red Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 i've been to the club as an assitant referee and a spectator before and i know that your spectators are usual good but your stewerds can't hear everything and when someone is doing a job like my friend was he can't just go other and lose his focus think if i did that when i was refereeing (ppl don't you dare comment) i'm only going on what i heard and i know the club have delt with similar circumstances before but this one might of been missed.

Graham Martin Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 There are some people who turn up for the 'big' matches who can be vociferous - they are not fans or supporters of Truro City - they are not there week in, week out for all the league matches, they just come when there is likely to be a big crowd at the game. They are just as likely to appear anywhere else when there is a 'big' occasion. Please do not confuse these people with the true supporters of TCFC.

somersetspur Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 St Darren.I was watching Truro City at a very young age. Players like,Trevor Sailsbury,Brian Adams.Colin Chegwin,Johnny Wardle,Jock Imrie, to name but a few. So if you can remember any of these great Truro legends,you will realise I certainly have not jumped onto the so called Truro bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thats fine then! no problem with that, you've been following for a long time What was the average gate at Truro 5 years ago??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somersetspur Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 St Darren.Why are you singling out Truro City for crowd increases,when they got a financial backing and progress has occurred. I could write you a long list of football clubs that are in exactly the same situation. People will always go and watch higher grades of football,if it is locally available. You will see a steady increase in Truro,s attendances if they continue to climb the ladder,that in turn could attract the people that so called started this thread.

St Darren Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Cos the conversation is about Truro City!!!! if Mr Heaney had invested in Falmouth Town, I'm sure we'd be having the same conversation with someone else about Falmouth Town. Surely its not that hard to fathom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robtorson Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have been following Truro City for years now. Im in my 50's, so i can say i've been there for the lows, and indeed the highs, which is the current. I can understand why people would get annoyed with Truro, especially if you play for a team or follow a team that were playing against Truro 4, maybe 5 years ago. I can understand this, but on the same note i certainly won't be complaining.. Lots of good times ahead! I will continue to make my trip from windy Constantine, hoping that i will be watching them playing the likes of Torquay, Exeter.. But not in friendlies.

St Darren Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 alright rob? I respect you for that, following them for that time, but there are obviously a few hundred that never did.

snake Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Their gates won't improve that much more than what they already are.Can't see where the extra fans are going to come from, even if they got to Blue square South.

somersetspur Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Of course attendences will slowly improve,if the standard gets better.

Graham Martin Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Same can be said for Pirates RFC - back a few years ago when they were Penzance & Newlyn RFC and they were playing Newquay, Wadebridge etc - how many were there..?? They now regularly get 'gates' of 3,000 + As Truro rise up through the leagues they will get better & better attendances - I already know of previous 'Rugby' watchers who now prefer to go to Treyew Road to watch football with a better standard of match on offer - and how many go up to Home Park to watch Argyle from Cornwall - if they can get a good standard of football without having to travel a 120 mile round trip then many will do just that - watch football locally. Pirates have shown it can be done - and, hopefully TCFC can do the same with the 'floating' football fans in Cornwall. There are 500,000 people in Cornwall - enough to support whatever sport offers a good level of opposition and quality entertainment. And - .... Darren... are you suggesting that Football in Cornwall should not evolve and attract more support - or would you rather we all just say "it can't happen in Cornwall" and continue travelling to Devon to watch good standard professional football..??

St Darren Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'm all for a club progressing if it can afford to do so, Truro are lucky to have a backer putting the money in. Best of luck to them, I just don't like the way that they have gone about some of their business thats all. As I've said before, people spout a load about Truro and all that lot and give grief at games, but where were they 5 years ago? I've got respect for those that were around at the time before the millions of pounds got involved. I was even a keen follower myself back in the early 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
