This season celebrates 50 years since the Supporters Club was formed to help raise funds for the club and most importantly to improve facilities for its growing legion of fans.
Until the take-over of the main club in November 2004 By Kevin Heaney, the supporter’s main role was that of arranging events around the club and outside too. The willing small band of volunteers worked tirelessly to keep the club afloat, sticking through not only in the club's successful years but in the hard times too. Raising thousands of pounds each season they also helped out financially buying equipment for the Truro Minors youth teams and the Ladies Football team.
Everything from Donkey Derby's to hiring what’s now the Hall for Cornwall and in recent years having one of the best local Firework displays around. In addition of course the many long hours volunteers worked on match days with raffles, taking gate money and what every club needs a good tea hut especially on cold wet winter nights.
Since the clubs take-over in 2004 the supporters club have embraced the changes although some of the criteria has altered you still find a regular and loyal band of volunteers helping out in all weathers to maintain the backbone of the club.
The Supporters Club not only continue match day cover as mentioned above but also stewards to marshal the growing support. Outside this they started last season a successful newsletter, articles and research on the programme and this season after promotion have formed the White Tiger Travel Club to ferry the support for the many thousands of miles this season.
It is our aim on this section of the Website to keep you informed of events and news going on from the Supporters side of the coin. If after reading this you would like to join the small band of volunteers please contact me through the link on this site.
Last season saw us develop a very close and special relationship between us and the players and we wish them well for all the competitions they play in this season. Robin Netherton Chairman Supporters Club |
