Be part of our new and exciting era

LIKE you, I have watched Truro City’s fantastic progress in recent years; I’ve been there cheering on the lads during our rise up the footballing pyramid.

At the start of June 2011, I joined the club as General Manager to help develop our off-the-field activities as we embark upon what is both an exciting and demanding new era.

I have been working very closely with Kevin Heaney in targeting and working on a number of projects that will improve the matchday experience for supporters and give the club a professional look and feel.

Some of the new initiatives include:

• An exciting new-look to the Matchday Programme, which will become a full-colour, 44-page , glossy publication that will be packed full of features, stats and photos on all aspects of the club;
• A totally revamped Official Website that will be interactive and regularly updated with all the latest news and information from in and around the club, including match highlights, blogs from the Chairman, Manager and Players, Player Profiles, all the stats you’ll need plus an Official Fans Forum, which will also benefit from regular input from the players and Manager;
• We are currently in advanced discussions with a company who will produce top-quality club merchandise, providing a wide range of leisure wear and other memorabilia as the season progresses;
• A Commercial Brochure has been produced which highlights the various matchday hospitality packages that are now available to enhance your enjoyment of your visit to Treyew Road. It also includes sponsorship and advertising opportunities which exist as we reach out to local businesses and organisations. This will be available to download via our Official Website and also in printed form;
• Improvements to enhance the matchday experience include improving the PA system, refurbishing the Club House (to include Sky TV) and food outlets, where an improved product will be offered at competitive prices;
• There will be extensive promotion of the club both locally and throughout Cornwall via the West Briton and their associated newspapers, who we will be working closely with throughout the season ahead. Our aim is to develop club awareness in the local and wider Cornish Community.

This is just a snap-shot of what is going on. There are numerous other projects that we are pushing forward behind-the-scenes

We are determined that Truro City Football Club offers individual fans and their families a really enjoyable matchday experience, not just watching the team on the pitch but also benefitting from improved facilities. There are many enthusiastic volunteers helping us as we grow and develop the club, but we are looking for more.

Our common goal is to continue taking the club forward – but we need your help. If you have any ideas or time to give to the club, please give me a call on 07800-810 749.

If we are to succeed, everyone has a role to play. Thank you for your valued support.
