Truro Sports Club: Truro City FC

From Truro City FC

Truro City originally played their home games at Treyew Road in the heart of the city. That had been the case since the 1900s, with the club expending and changing it to the point that it was able to welcome around 3,000 people. In 2005 an announcement was made that Truro City planned to build a 16,000-seater ground for the city’s football, but some residents opposed the plans. The plans changed and altered over the years, but in in 2007 were rejected by the council. As part of the process of getting the club back in an even footing financially, Treyew Road was sold in 2014, with the club eventually leaving it in 2018.

Having had an arrangement to share the stadium of Torquay United, two hours away from Truro, the club briefly returned to Treyew Road and then arranged a groundshare with Plymouth Parkway FC. The hope was that Truro would move into the Stadium for Cornwall, but when those plans were scrapped new ones were developed for the construction of the Truro Sports Hub to the west of the city centre. The club spent some of the 2023-2024 season playing at Bolitho Park, then the rest of it at Gloucester City’s Meadow Park. Plans were then put in place to open Truro Sports Hub in time for the 2024-2025 campaign.

Truro Sports Club Seating Plan and Where to Sit

The ground at Truro Sports Hub opened ahead of the 2024-2025 season, meaning that it is one of the newest in the entirety of English football. It opened on land that had previously been earmarked for a ‘Stadium for Cornwall’, boasting a capacity of 3,000. Most of the capacity is made up of terracing, but there are some seats available in the club’s Main Stand, which tuns along the side of the pitch.

Truro City FC Ticket Prices

As with the vast majority of clubs in the English Football League pyramid, Truro City decide how much you’ll need to pay based on the likes of your age and your personal circumstances. Here is a look at what they charged during the 2023-2024 season, to give you a bit of a sense of the sort of amount that you’ll be asked to play to see Truro City play live:

• Adults – £13
• Concessions – £10
• Under-18s & Students – £5
• Under-12s – Free

It is free for Under-12s to attend a Truro City match if they are accompanied by a paying adult. Concession tickets are available to disabled supporters, as well as those over the age of 65. There is also a family ticket available, which costs £26 and is for two adults and up to three children.

How To Get Truro City FC Tickets

Given the battle against the likes of the Premier League, Champions League and Sky Sports for the attention of supporters, most lower league clubs have an excellent website through which you can buy tickets for the team’s upcoming matches. In the case of Truro City, the website is certainly good enough, but you can’t buy tickets on it at the time of writing. As a result, tickets are available from the club’s ticket office and on the turnstiles on a match day. The good news is that they are unlikely to sell out, so you should be fine to turn up on a match day and get in.

Getting To Truro Sports Club

Train – The thing that might confuse travellers slightly when it comes to heading to a Truro City match is that the Truro Sports Hub isn’t actually in Truro. Instead, it is an area called Threemilestone, which is a couple of miles to the West. If you want to get the train then you’re still going to be heading to Truro Railway Station, but you’ll have a journey to complete afterwards.

Bus – Given the fact that Truro Railway Station is about an hour’s walk from the ground, the likelihood is that most people will choose to get a bus or taxi out to it. Truro City will look to put special bus routes in place once the ground has been in place for longer, but the number 40 will get you close at the moment.

Car – Langarth Garden Village, where Truro Sports Hub is located, can be found just off the A390. Those coming from up North, which is practically everywhere when you’re heading to Truro, will look to take one of the A30 or the A390 to get to the local area, then move closer to the ground once they’re in the rough vicinity.

By Air – The closest international airport to Truro is Newquay, in Cornwall. That also has flies from internal hubs, such as Exeter and Bristol, so might be where you’ll be flying to if you want to limit your driving time as much as you possibly can.

Taxi – A Taxi from Truro Railway Station out to the Truro Sports Hub should only take around ten minutes to complete its journey, traffic dependant, so you’ll be expected to pay somewhere in the region of £10 for a taxi.

Parking Near Truro Sports Club

The entire idea of the Langarth Garden Village is that it is sustainable, so people are discouraged from driving if it can be helped. That being said, there is a car park on-site that you’ll be able to use for a nominal fee. The local area isn’t used to large numbers of people heading into it, so don’t expect smiles and welcomes from those living there if you choose to park on any of the surrounding roads.

About Truro City FC

Truro City Football Club has always existed in the lower section of the English Football League pyramid. Whilst they have consistently been the highest ranked team in Cornwall, that isn’t necessarily saying a huge amount, all things considered. They have been the founding members of several lower leagues, including in 1951 when they helped to create the South Western League. They remained there for most of the 20th century, apart from a three-season spell when they played in the Cornwall Combination in the 1970s, before joining the Western Football League in 2006. The team won the FA Vase in the 2006-2007 season.

Truro were issued with a winding-up order by HRMC in 2011, with the club owning more than £100,000 in taxes. This was postponed until the start of the following year, with the registrar being informed that the debt had been ‘paid in full’ two hours before the hearing. Another winding-up order was issued, followed by another extension and another payment in full. Eventually the club filed for administration, seeing them deducted ten points. It looked as if the club’s very existence was in doubt, before Peter Masters and Philip Perryman stepped in and bought the club on the 14th of December 2012, working to restore it back to order.
