A FOOTBALL club in Cornwall has revealed its plans to build a new stadium having been playing its games in Devon since 2021.

Truro City FC has designed the new 3,000 capacity ground after selling its previous home, Treyew Road, last summer.

The location of the new stadium will be on the site of the failed Stadium for Cornwall, which Cornwall Council decided against putting forward for government levelling up funding.

The new stadium will reportedly be paid for using money from the sale of Treyew Road, which has been held by Cornwall Council.

"It's going to be massive for the club," Truro City's consultant Alex Black told BBC Spotlight.

"At Treyew Road they had great atmosphere, but I think everybody did recognise that stadium was probably getting a little bit tired.

"But it was still by far and away the best football ground in the whole of Cornwall, and what we're going to be building now will be a much better version than that, it will actually be one of the best football facilities in the South West, so it's going to be great for us."

He said it was "great" that the team was doing well and at the top of the league, but added that the club wanted to be playing front of its fans and crowds of people, explaining: "That's what we're doing it all for."

He went on to tell the BBC: "Obviously it was disappointing when we had to leave Treyew Road eventually, but one of the big positives of that was that we banked the money which was required for the football club share to build a new facility.

"That's been sat with the Council since we went, who've obviously been protecting it, being safeguarding it for us, and now we're ready to ready to spend it on a new home."
