[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1015682, member: 58362"] I haven't heard any news from the good ship Pirate for ages, but the song remains the same as far as I know - all ambitions are contingent on getting the Stadium For Cornwall built. I believe that they are still waiting for the money that David Cameron promissed when he was on the campaign trail for the election before last. The goal posts have moved so many times since then that I find it hard to keep track of things, so that may be out of date information. Unlike other teams, they don't have the option of renting the local football ground, the nearest would be Home Park, which is IRO 80 miles away from Penzance. The club seem bullish about it being the answer to providing level 1 rugby in Cornwall, but I am yet to be convinced that it alone would provide sufficient funds. Roth and Donny seem to be well run outfits who are where they are thanks to strong fundraising efforts within the membership / local community. Their benefactors' pockets are only so deep, so without a single big benefactor, I think they'd fight shy of the GP. [/QUOTE]
