Poor look from all sides really Crazy that the 2 clubs couldn't send an email between themselves to establish what kit colours would be. Basics that should be covered on every pre match confirmation email. The referee is onto a loser either way. She either doesn't start the game and is blamed for ruining Truro's homecoming or does start the game and get blamed for a kit clash. mattelot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Darren Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 10 hours ago, Craze said: How do Truro look poor? Because they didn’t update information with the league or something. Dorking were lead to believe that Truro’s away colours were red and black so they assumed they’d have a different colour for home shirts. Truro are the least to blame may I add. But once again communication is a big issue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Wade Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 I was lead to believe that it was standard practice for all parties (Home, Away & Ref) to communicate prior these details leading up to a game? On Dorking's YouTube videos they stated last night that their secretary got his information from Google. Has there/will there be any sanctions from the league?

Dave Deacon Posted September 2 Author Report Share Posted September 2 I appreciate that there was obviously a communication breakdown somewhere along the way leading up to the match, but one has to smile at how concerned the referee was come the moment!

Not sure how any of that’s Truros fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Wade Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 There was something of an atmosphere there...nothing like what you'd expect from a Home team granted. But surely that will come in time. These things don't just happen! JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to criticise. Truro are essentially building a fan base, and an identity from scratch. They have started well. I’ve enjoyed my couple of jaunts down there. Chants, and atmosphere will come as the fans get to know one another and more importantly the team better. The only significant issue currently is the wind. I dismissed this as an issue the first time I heard the complaint, but have to admit the game was compromised when the wind got up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't criticising, but when I said in the Truro v Dorking match topic there was no atmosphere, you said there was and the noise was at a dangerous level when it clearly wasn't. I like Truro city's new ground and yes things will improve 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I've now been down the other end of the ground and the noise doesn't travel. The club needs some songs/chants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went the tannoy announced was embarrassing. At the moment noise doesn’t travel as nothing is enclosed. If they manage to get some covered area at the changing room end then that would help! It would also help with shelter when it’s windy and raining!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May of if it was a Samsung 👍. Funny how the handful of Dorking fans could be clearly heard, maybe your watch was picking up the noise from them.

As someone who's involved at another NLS club, none of the National League clubs had received the league guide by the first match of the season. The expectation is on the club secretary from the away side to communicate with the home side and agree what shirts they'd be wearing.

Surly as they came out of the changing rooms the referee/her assistants would have seen the issue? why let them out onto the pitch? All three party's are surly at fault, not singling out Truro.

JW Agreed, all three have some blame, my comment was around someone else saying Truro were blameless. On all honesty it should never have got that far.
