There is concern over Truro City's ability to contribute to the Stadium for Cornwall project.STADIUM FOR CORNWALL
Rugby Football Union Championship side Cornish Pirates pledged an extra £1M ($1.31M) toward the Stadium for Cornwall project amid worries over local football club Truro City's "ability to contribute," according to the BBC. Truro City, the Pirates and Truro and Penwith College had each pledged £2M ($2.6M) to the scheme. Another £6M ($7.9M) will come from Cornwall Council and central government. But there are concerns that Helical, the firm that bought Truro City's ground, "will not pay the club before construction is due to start." A statement from Cornish Pirates said, "There has been doubt raised about the other £2 million coming through Helical to Truro City FC and onto the stadium. Consequently, the original two partners have made arrangements to increase their contribution by at least £2 million to cover any possible shortfall arising from delays/non-performance of Helical in assisting Truro City with their promised contribution" (BBC, 10/8).
