    No. Very unlikely. Fa Cup usually has a different pricing structure

    That comment to me shows your lack of construction knowledge, renovating and building something from scratch in an allotted timeframe are two completely different things.
    Opinions are like bumholes, personally Truro's facility's will take some beating, and will also only continue to get better.

    Also, as a very mild factor to this , is Truro reserves. 
    Maybe ,with the league they are in, some of the supporters from the Cornish Clubs, will want to visit the new ground.
    What is the charge for entry..£5 ..for the reserves..?
    You may get, a few coming along, for their games, all adds to the coffers! 
    Just to help the club along , in general.
    All positives, in my opinion.

    Well, I went along to the ground today.  Followed the crowds!  There was a group in front of ne crossing from TMS asking which way it was though. 

    Great set up and pitch looked incredible, well done Gary.  Certainly helps when you have a day like today up there though, playing/watching there on a winters day when it’s windy is going to be brutal. 
     
    Truro were quality today against a poor Worthing side who offered nothing!
    I think some were complaining about the PA system before, well I think they’ve sorted that out!  But jeez, the bloke talked more than he needed.  Also there were 1564 (I think) in the ground and they were fully aware of the score!!
    I enjoyed it

    Yes, and using hard cold logic, Maidstone beat Ipswich who got promoted to the premier league, and we dismantled Maidstone, which can only lead  to one conclusion, we must be one of the preseason favourites for the FA Cup

    Great away win for City at one of the promotion favourites Maidstone.
    1st half goal from Oxlade-Chamberlain and a 2nd goal late in the game from Tyler Harvey to seal the 3 points.

    Ok so the kits issue is number one, should have been sorted way before the teams walked on to the pitch
    There was a foul for the 1st Dorking goal
    Dorking though should have had a penalty
    She spent most of the game not making any decisions and trying to fly under the radar, probably aware of the eye catching, headline grabbing error of the kit-gate
    Also felt she was quick to bring out the yellow card for our players

    It was simply a case of having to wait for all the right approvals, something made difficult by the scale of the project and the weather throughout winter and spring. In that context the club has done incredibly well, and there are some very exciting plans in place, either on paper or in motion.

    I think all of this is valid enough, although even having from and back to Cirencester to see the game I'm still buzzing.
    There are three main issues that contribute to the atmosphere (although I was in the stand behind the goal and it was fantastic to be in).
    1) Lack of covered stands meaning noise just dissipates 
    2) The distance between the stands and the pitch - the walk ways are too big, I don't know whether thats now a regulation for grounds?
    3) A lack of one identity/mature support, with established songs etc. The club could do worse than appoint a handful of cheer leader types (think German football) to orchestrate the crowd.
    I hope the locals perservere with this team and club. I really hope theres a future that regularly sees 2,000 baying Cornishmen turning up every week to shout themselves hoarse. If that happens we will be ap able to afford better players and have a real go at moving up a league.
    You're right about the PA system, and the screen should have been bigger. I'd also like to see one of the corners filled in so that you have one long stand that wraps round - think that might help atmosphere.
    For day one though, its so good. So much potential there. Everyone now needs to play their part.

    Firstly I will say I agree with a lot that's said above but after 'my club' has been homeless for 4 years I am seeing g far more positives than negatives. Given the amount of people who turned up I think the Club's organisation was excellent in terms of preparation,  turnstiles, stewarding, food and drink outlets etc. This is just phase 1, there is more to follow and we will have a set-up to be proud of.
    I am hoping among the early priorities will be an improvement/increase in seating, cover and PA system. It is early days and it will all come in time.
    For me, so far it's well done TCFC.

    Lol I was in the stand behind the goal and my watch told me numerous times that the decibel level was dangerous for my health - it was loud!
    Whether that atmosphere was lost because of the open nature of the stadium isn’t anyone’s fault.
    There were plenty who had had a few and a lot of chanting and singing going on.
    Need maybe a few more songs as I’m heavily fatigued from spelling our clubs name. Thank god we’re not Middlesbrough!
    Absolutely fab day out - I really hope the word spreads and those crowds level out comfortably at 4 figures.
    Cornwall deserves nice things!
