The CSWP beckons, which is effectively where they were before Heaney began his sugar daddy project. Truro were happy to take the money when it was on offer.

Yes it's sad that people will loose out, but seriously, at what stage did anyone really think that this would end up with a happy ending. Truro isn't even anything life the most affluent or populous region of Cornwall.

They'll be back where they belong. Living off their gates.

Smug of Saint Blazey.

There wasn't any money on offer. It wasn't a sugar daddy project.

Truro were effectively using their own money which was lent back to them by Heaney having got hold of the freehold of their ground, mortgaged and then sold it on.

At a rough guess Truro's rise up the leagues cost 2M but they paid for it all themselves with their ground which was worth a lot more than that.

They will now return from whence they came minus a ground but at least any future club will hopefully be owned by a supporters trust.

This http://www.thecoplandroad.org/2012/10/truro-city-common-tale.html is a good write up of exactly what the 'sugar daddy' did for Truro City.

Correct.

And now 2 Truro businesses have put up the 50k bond the conference are asking for.

L2 Nightclub and A2B Taxis have lodged the bond and it's just been accepted (so the people that lodged it say)

Waiting for conference decision now

Now allowed to continue trading and not expelled from Conference.

Still need a buyer but another bidder has appeared at the last minute.

Who'd have thought it; twitter being more reliable than BBC :shock:

The bond has been accepted by the conference board & Via The Truro Fans Trust: "Apparently Football Conference has confirmed that Truro City FC can continue to operate for season, says TCFC's solicitor James Moore".

Tomorrow's game still up in the air though.

Wow... So the Beeb jumped the gun.

Any buyer, if one exists now needs to negotiate with the ground owners some kinda tenancy to complete the season at Treyew Road, or preferably a few seasons while the Stadium for Cornwall is built.

Per the TruroFC Twitter feed, the bond has not yet been accepted by the Football Conference.
