The latest situation...

WE HAVE been told by the representatives of Helical Retail that they have been unable to reach an agreement with JIL to develop Phase One of the Lidl Supermarket development. JIL have also confirmed this position.
In addition, we have been told that Lidl have issued a termination notice to Helical cancelling their contract.
We understand from JIL that they now wish to take control of the Treyew Road project themselves and will be discussing matters direct with us soon.
Contractually Helical, JIL and Truro City are bound together until September of next year on terms that Truro City can continue to play football at Treyew Road until the end of this season.
We are advised that JIL and Helical will be meeting together within the next few days to discuss the termination of their contract.
The repair work needed to Treyew Road following the ground inspection by the League has now been completed and we expect to get the ground Grade B rating within the next few days. Given this situation that is no reason for Truro City to continue to groundshare with Torquay United at Plainmoor.
Supporters and followers of Truro City will know that the team are currently enjoying a “purple patch” under current ground arrangements. Given our League position we do not want to take any action that may be detrimental to current form and as such we will not be taking any decision to return to Treyew Road until we play Torquay United at Plainmoor on New Year’s Day.
We acknowledge that this will come as a disappointment for some supporters but hopefully it will be accepted this decision to remain during the interim period is the right one in our quest to remain in this League.
