Derelict stadium!

There are plans to have a new Stadium for Cornwall with Truro City and the Cornish Pirates sharing the ground but the funding has been pulled. See what is left of the old Truro City ground.

Was down in Penzance a couple of weeks ago and visited their football ground for a game. What a little gem of a ground that is, well worth a visit. Hopefully Truro get their new stadium sorted and lure their supporters back. Plymouth A are probably tapping into the Cornish supporters market atm

Thanks Phil, I didn’t realise how close that ground was to the Cornish Pirates stadium. I would have popped in there and had a look as well. Next time I am in Penzance I will definitely head to that ground, thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️

What made you do that Matt. Lovely weather in summer down there. Remember doing a Comms exercise on the moors back in my RAF days, and couldnt see a thing, due to the fog and mist. All we heard was a national hunt close by with the horns etc etc, and stood absolutely still, for fear of being trampeded. Very good old friend from Medway moved down to Plymouth back in the 80s and still lives there, and will be seeing some Championship football this year. As for Truro, shame about the derelict stdium, but surprised they havent built homes on there. Maybe, one of the construction companies might watch your video lol. Can only imagine you were with the family on holiday. Get yourself back up to Scotland, or the Priestfield stadium mate. You"ll have more fun there ha ha

Thanks Berlin Dave, had a few days in the south west so I thought I would have a wander and do some filming, the weather has been horrendous ⛈️🌦️

Im a big argyle fan, but would love to see more West Country teams in the football league. keep up the videos!

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thanks Spencer, problem is Plymouth are much better than there Devon rivals hence not many derbies. It does seem odd Truro who could have the support of Cornwall are only National League South 👍🏻⚽️

Very sad to see, had that eerie feel about it watching the old ground reduced to tatters.

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Seems a shame, it was actually quite a large plot, could have a really decent stadium there 👍🏻

Glory Glory "CORNWALL UNITED FC".😅

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

I would love to see a Cornwall Utd team 👍🏻

[@martinryan2370]

I think the big problem is the collapse of money in rugby look at the premiership rugby and championship clubs gone tits up Councils are not as stupid as we think

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thanks Martin, seems odd that Rugby Union is the 3rd sport in the UK with all the successes of the 6 Nations but the domestic game appears to be struggling

[@18996doug]

Didn’t they get take over by a millionaire?

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Looks like they have a new stadium on the horizon, also have a new badge and nickname, up the tinners 👍🏻⚽️

[@benjarram5380]

This Stadium for Cornwall stuff is nonsense they will never do it I live in Cornwall and it will never be completed

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

It does keep being delayed and scaled back

[@IssacLHunt]

Who cares about some nothing club in some no one has never heard of town?

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thanks Issac, you seem to care enough to leave a comment 😀 I’m thinking the Truro fans care, or should we just get rid of all small clubs and just have the 6 largest premier league teams playing each other 6 times a season 👍🏻⚽️
