AS FOOTBALL FOR TRURO RETURNS TO THE CITY, FOR THE BLUES IT WILL ALSO BE A DAY TO REMEMBER!
No more of the nomadic life for City
Saturday, August 10, 2024
Well, it’s the morning of the return of Truro City playing back in Cornwall and I wish the club all the best. To be honest I had given up hope that it would ever happen!
With so many false starts around the “Stadium for Cornwall” idea, any return seemed to be slipping further and further away, but thankfully here we are about to watch the first ever game at Langarth and so from me, and I’m sure many others, it’s a well done to all those people behind the scenes that have made it possible.
The new ground is not the finished article by any means, but it’s a beginning for the club being able to come home!

Meanwhile it’s good luck as well to Helston Athletic who will also be creating their own history as the club makes its debut in the Southern League. They play at Westbury today, where coincidentally Mousehole did the same 12 months ago!
With Mousehole already one season into adjusting to Step 4 football, the county should be so excited that not only do Helston join them, but also Falmouth Town. Although unfortunately Town are not in action today due to problems with the Bashley pitch, but at least it means they can now start their campaign at home on Tuesday (19:45 ko) when Tavistock are the visitors.
So, to sum up, football in Cornwall is at the highest level ever experienced, I suggest supporters and football followers make the most of it and get out there and see first hand what it’s all about!
