Mike Odgers Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 What an embarrassment for the CCFA if Penryn had toppled Bodmin last night and made it to the final to play Helston at SaltashAs there is no consideration to travelling for finalists now why not pencil in Penlee Park or next season now.They no longer ban all football on Easter Monday in the County as I see Truro City host Basingstoke on the same afternoon.Excellent fighting qualities from the West Cornwall clubs Helston & Penryn-great effort.btw another West Cornwall club, Illogan RBL Reserves also have to trek to THe Kimberley Stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monty Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Just like the Champions league final was at Munich last year with Bayern in the final??? i personally think its great that CCFA share it around the county and no matter where it is it will always be a day out as every club whether junior or senior status will agree. Saltash is a great setup and deserves to hold the finals day, but at the end of the day if you dont want to attend then dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG AL Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I wrote to the cornwall fa as soon as this venue was announced complaining of the travelling distance involved for supporters. The reply I received was both sarcastic and rude and completeley unjustified. The venue could easily have benn in mid Cornwall. I also raised the question why the venue is never held at Falmouth and the feeble excuse was "that Falmouth never ask!" Quite honestly, the Cornwall FA are a law to themselves and I do wonder what they do to promote soccer in Cornwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Got to disagree with you on this Mike. It's the county cups and hosting it should be shared around the county. As a side thought, it's quite a while since Falmouth staged it - when was it last at Bickland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG AL Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 The cost of tavelling to nearly in Devon and back fo0r people like me from the extreme south of Cornwall and then the high admission charge does make an Easter Monday football treat prohibitive.

It's the county cups and hosting it should be shared around the county.As a side thought, it's quite a while since Falmouth staged it - when was it last at Bickland?I agree that the Cornwall F A showpiece should be shared around the County and was just pointing out what might have been.Before and after the War years the Finals were monopolised at St.Austell and at Truro if St.Austell were involved.This was mainly due to travel where both destinations were on the main Railway network.I dont think many neutrals would travel from the deep West to Saltash,another couple of miles or so you are at Home Park-Hope Argyle are not playing that day.The last Finals day at Bickland Park was 1998 when Porthleven met Truro City (ideally placed).It would be interesting to list the previous venues to see if this sharing is being done-Here is for starters2012-@ Mount Wise.Newquay2011-@ Trevassack Park -Hayle2005-@ Lux Park-Liskeard2004-@ Blaise Park-St.Blazey2000-@ Mount Wise-NewquayCould some one fill in the other years?

Ian Pethick Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Always enjoy the Senior Cup Final . It is a really good day out if you turn up early to watch the Junior Cup Final as well . Quite often the atmosphere generated by the crowd is better for that game. It is usually between sides who genuinely relish the chance to play in a showpiece game .

Spider Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Saltash? Travelling? In my football career (if you can call it that) of the last 12-18 months I will never complain about travelling anywhere in Cornwall and Devon again!! I've probably traveled more in that time than in my 12 years in the South Weston League!! You're an hour away from anywhere in Cornwall!! Be a Truro supporter and travel to Dover to watch your team, that's travelling!! I agree with Dave Deacon, it's the Cornwall Senior Cup and must be shared around and I can't think of a better ground for it to be at than Saltash. Will be a great atmosphere there...just enjoy the day out!! Why can't the FA just set up a rota for the next x amount of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsider Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 For the Cornwall Finals, four dressing rooms are also required. Gone are the days when two teams share a dressing room. This rules out many clubs. But Saltash have only two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kenny 7 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Train costings are so cheap i cant believe it really Redruth to saltash (group saver 4 ) £19.60 making it £4.90 return st austell to Saltash (group saver 4) £16.20 making it £4.05 return the station is about 10 mins walk from the ground too lots of people traveling by train be good to have lots of banter on the train with the illogan fans too (and a few beers).
