Truro City: National League Newcomers can be perfectly professional

The truumber increase from local football to the National League has taken 18 years.

But their position on the Cornish peninsula means they are so far away from the rest of the professional game.

Their closest full-time team is a side of Plymouth Argyle – almost 60 miles away during this town – 140 miles and about three hours to drive away.

No part of the football football history should travel as far as the rainy season. In total, they will travel about 13,560 miles in the league, with the highest round-trip 914 miles of gateshead and return at the end of October.

The club has seven fares on trips over 700 miles, and more than half of their journeys are higher than travel between London and Paris.

“Regardless of our league we have always we need to do a decent travel amount,” Riley-Lowe said.

“The club is very, very helpful in terms like allowing us to stay all night. We will travel on Friday, stay at the hotel at night.

“But because I’m in Truro, we’re always in the house and I think it’s clear because of traveling.

“It’s probably a little different this year. Last season many teams have done it in the sun, and then that would be the best.

“I think every team in this league comes at night before, so where it has a little bit.”

But Lootton felt that being full-time neglecting many problems that the club had the last time in their journey.

“They (players) work until five o’clock, to go to coach six, go to most hotels between 10 and 12:00,” he said.

“Now we’re full of full-time at 10 am. Go ahead, can have some longer trips, but we’ll get there at a better time of day.

“So I never thought it could give a lot of difference, pure on the basis we didn’t work 35, 37, 40-hour jobs as well as football.”
