Supporter importance:    Our support at the Mennaye Field has been growing again this season, which helps tremendously when everyone gets behind the team. It really has been appreciated – YOU are our sixteenth man!

Hospitality:   Hospitality numbers have also been very encouraging this season, with most games sold out. Should we be fortunate to proceed in the Cup, and perhaps be fixtured at home in the Final (!), then the contact not to miss out is our Hospitality & Events Coordinator, Liz McLean – email [email protected]

The Pirates Shop:   There are a variety of exciting items available for sale from the on-ground shop on match days – note that purchases can be made by CARD ONLY – No cash.

BBC Radio Cornwall – Unfortunately, because of a particularly busy Saturday coming up for BBC Radio Cornwall, we are advised that at this stage it will only be possible to provide occasional updates of Saturday’s match. Their situation is one we fully understand, and we thank them for their otherwise tremendous coverage given over many seasons.

Finally, many thanks again for YOUR support!
