From No Stadium to Promotion in 1 Season: Truro City FC.

What a day and what a season for Truro City!

A clinical 5–2 win over St Albans secured automatic promotion in the very last game of the campaign, with everything on the line.

It has been incredible to witness the transformation Eric Perez and his team have delivered in just one year. This time last season, TCFC did not even have a stadium and were playing their home games two hours away in Plymouth.

The National League South (England’s 6th tier) was fascinating this season, with an unprecedented six-team title race which came down to the last game. Only one team could secure automatic promotion to the National League, while the others will enter the playoffs.

It is also a particularly special moment for our American friends and clients Robert Taylor and Duane Dorazio, who joined the ownership. Blackbridge had the privilege of introducing them to the club and sharing its vision and ambitions. It is incredibly rewarding to see it all coming together.

Everyone is chasing the Premier League, but the real opportunity, the real fun, and the real ROI are lower down the football pyramid. Truro City could be knocking on the door of League Two next season. Just look at Wrexham AFC. Their rise from the National League in 2020 shows what is possible with the right vision and backing.
