Truro City Relocates Home Game Against Taunton Town Due to Weather Concerns

Truro City has announced a change of venue for the upcoming Vanarama National League South game against Taunton Town, originally scheduled to be held at their home ground. The match will now take place at Meadow Park, also known as the Tiger Turf Stadium, the home of Gloucester City from the Vanarama National League North. The decision to move the game, set to kick off at 3.00pm, comes in anticipation of heavy rain forecasted across the South West over the next two days.

This preemptive measure by Truro City is aimed at preserving the condition of their home pitch, ensuring that the team can host their remaining fixtures for the 2023-24 season without disruption. The club has expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to its supporters by moving the game further from Truro but emphasised the necessity of the decision in light of recent weather-related postponements affecting numerous matches across all levels of the National League System.

Truro City has extended its gratitude towards Taunton Town for their cooperation and understanding regarding the venue change. The shift not only assists Truro City in maintaining their home game schedule but also supports Taunton Town in fulfilling their own fixture commitments for the ongoing season.

Additionally, Truro City acknowledged the National League’s support and understanding in accommodating the club’s needs during this period. The relocation of this key league match underscores the challenges teams face in managing their schedules amidst unpredictable weather conditions and highlights the collaborative efforts within the football community to ensure the season’s smooth progression.
