D-Day for Truro City FC

[trurocityfan]

Hello everyone,

I have just joined the forum and look forward to reading about all things non-league. Today is the deadline day for my club Truro City FC to put a financial bond in place with The Football Conference, otherwise we will be thrown out of the league. I live in Buckinghamshire, well over 300 miles from Cornwall but follow all their away games. Yesterday I bought the new replica shirt for the club - 24 hours from now we may not have a team. I hope to be wearing it on Saturday at Eastleigh FC where the home team are going to donate the gate reciepts for the game to Truro - what a great gesture from a fellow league team. I hope to be in touch again with some good news tomorrow morning. Non-league football is so enjoyable that I can't think that my fix will have to come to and end!!!!

Cheers Sean

i aye really been following whats been happening at truro but are they one of them clubs that dream of playing in the football league, spend loads of money they dont have, owe the taxman loads and then expect sympathy when it goes tits up?

Well I hope you are happy with yourselves. Was looking forward to a good piss up with Truro today.
But no,f**k**g shopping

Iain - sort of yes and no. They're one of those clubs that allow themselves to be taken over by a local money man and fails in its responsibility to ensure that said money man doesn't spend beyond his means. But as far as I can tell, their fans aren't the ones expecting sympathy and were never on his side to begin with. They certainly weren't a year ago. So yeah, sort of.

Ian with one i - if you like shopping then why are you moaning, and if you don't then why did you go? If someone asks me to go shopping and I don't want to, i say "Not this time thanks."

D-Day has passed and Sutton United will be playing at Truro this Saturday.
