Graham Martin Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Truro City on a roll. Another good away win. I think that's 7 wins in the last 8. Games in hand as well. Win them and they would be in the play off places. They couldn't could they??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of mid table mediocrity, and a non event last month free of relegation worries, would do City quite nicely. Accidentally getting promotion to the National League (stuffed full of ex Football League clubs and full time outfits with big followings and budgets), would be a leap into very dangerous waters. Superb run though, coincides with a few other teams in this division going backwards (Taunton's problems are well documented, and still trying to work out how Gary Johnson at Torquay is still in the job). Truro sit joint top of the last 6 games form table with Chelmsford City. GRTourist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cheeky backdoor promotion and National League football in our first season back in the Duchy would do something quite special for attendances in the short term you'd think. However, I do think we'd be looking at record low points totals unless the owner really stuck his hand in his pocket. Its not going to happen, but fingers crossed we get an unlikely playoff campaign, or have a few weeks of dreaming about one after the clocks go back. Unbelievable uptick in form - very happy supporter right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRTourist Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 The way that Oxford, Ebbsfleet (who obliterated NLS last season), AFC Fylde and Kidderminster are faring in the National League this season shows the absolute gulf in quality and resource required to compete at Step One these days.

The National League is effectively Football League Div 3 now. The excellent Dorking Wanderers fly on the wall documentary series, "Bunch Of Amateurs" on YouTube shows how bloody tough it is to exist in an intensely competitive and demanding division when you aren't a full time outfit.
