Surely the end of the gravy train in Cornwall is nigh?

Cornish Homes (UK) Ltd are going into liquidation. The sponsor of Truro City and obviously their managing director Kevin Heaney is the bankrolling the club too.

The below report states that it won't effect Truro City. However, with the likes of Ian Stonebridge, Matt Hockley, Barry McConnell and plenty of other Non-League players who should higher up the pyramid all on the payroll, surely the bubble will now burst?

Hope it bursts fast.  Chip are playing them in the FA cup on Saturday.

I don't think it'll burst that quickly!

Truro have been pissing on the divisions the last couple of years much to the dismay of most that lie in their path.... Not many will shed a tear when they plummet back down.

Its a dangerous tie.  Chip are in a league higher than Truro, but truro are running well top of the league and chippenham are mid table, a bad start.  They do also rely on the FA cup income as well so it is an important weekend away for CTFC.

Truro have Scott Walker, who I believe is ex-Chippenham... My dad is quite active in the world of Chippenham Town, runs the away travel, wears a CTFC tie etc etc etc I keep an eye on them but am not bothered by their form.

:D

He very probably knows my Mum and Step dad who are directors of the club then! Just been tonight to see them against oxford city, which went to pens before chip won.

Not the Webbs? Or the Blakes? That's as far as I remember.

The webbs indeed.

My ol' man knows them well. I interviewed Sandie at college (about 7 years ago) RE: local football when she was mayor... That only happened because my dad knew them.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooo

in a sli9ghtly related story the two bath teams are playing soon. an i am in bath, because i havnt mentioned it enough so far wooooo

and rich pullens avatar is back to a cow again wooohooooooo

you can go and laugh at caton playing left back for team bath...

You're welcome!

Its a shame - Cornwall deserves a top footy club and looks like this dream might have died again with this news.

On the basis of what?

cornwall needs a football team about as much as i need a vagina. They dont care for it, or they would obviosly have one by now anyway

just another gretna scenario i think...

Rugby's bigger in Cornwall than football, well with the Cornish anyway, and the out of towners wouldn't back a local team enough anyhow.

It'd be a nightmare down there should Truro get into the league and draw Arsenal at home in the cup, traffic chaos!  Plymouth's far enough down south, they have a big support in Cornwall.

Kevin Heaney is still in the rich list so this is a mere blemish for them, and I agree with Dave....Cornwall dont want a decent footy team, most of them go over the border to the Muff if they want to watch football.

And they still have their talisman striker Yetton who has scored a hatfull of goals for them.

They are a bit like the Man City of the lower leagues and a lot of teams down there dislike them for buying success.

Utter rubbish, Yetton has only scored 165 goals in 130 games - what sort of form is that? Get rid I say ;D

Lovely headband too....

Plymouth is on the Cornish border anyway so that counts and they also have quite active Manchester United and Liverpool supporters clubs too.
