Truro City Football Club (Cornish: Klub Peldroes Truru) is an English football club based in Truro, Cornwall. They compete in the National League South, at the sixth tier of the English football league system. They are the highest ranked club from Cornwall. The club had previously played in what was known as the Conference South in 2011, following five promotions in six seasons. They were relegated at the end of the 2012–13 season after going into administration, but returned to that level, now known as the National League South, in 2015, before being relegated back to the Southern League in 2019. They were founding members of the South Western League in 1951 and won the title five times in their history. Apart from a three-season spell in the 1970s, when they played in the Cornwall Combination after losing their ground as part of a by-pass development, they remained in the South Western League until 2006, when they joined the Western Football League, achieving promotion from Division One to the Premier Division in their first season. Truro were FA Cup regulars throughout the 1950s, but subsequently they were sporadic entrants until a permanent return to the competition in the 2006–07 season, their first appearance in 13 years, then in 2017 they reached the first round for the first time in their history losing away to Charlton Athletic. They won the FA Vase in 2006–07.

Manadon

Manadon is a predominantly post-war suburb of Plymouth in the English county of Devon.Roughly geographically situated in the centre of the city, it has a primary school, St Boniface's Catholic College (secondary comprehensive), a sports and community hub, two neighbourhood grocers (one with a post office) and is home to the Manadon interchange, on the A38 road Parkway. It is also home to Plymouth Parkway F.C., a Southern Football League football club based at Bolitho Park, and The Church of the Ascension situated in The Lawns. Most of the housing stock in the area was built during the post-war period as part of Plymouth's expansion after the Second World War, with the estate bordered between Honicknowle Lane to the west and St Peter's Road to the east. A second estate, Brake Farm, was built in the early 1970s and comprises several flat-roof houses and bungalow units. The Chaucer Way Primary School closed in 2009 due to dwindling numbers, leaving Manadon Vale as the sole primary school in the area. The demolition of the school and subsequent clearance of the site brought about the construction of affordable housing, named Poets Corner in recognition of the names of the neighbouring streets such as Chaucer Way, Byron Avenue and Sheridan Road. Manadon Park, a development of varying housing types is built on the former site of the RNEC Manadon (HMS Thunderer), the Royal Navy's former Engineering College. The area retains Manadon House, the old Manor House and former chapel from its naval service. An enclosed nature reserve has been developed towards the eastern quarter of Manadon Park estate but is not open to the public. Other green spaces include Sheridan Park, Manadon Woods and Bladder Meadow (partially situated in neighbouring Crownhill), all accessible to the public. There is no notable shopping district, although Honicknowle offers up a large retail park (Transit Way), situated at the northern edge of Brake Farm and bordered by the Ham Brook tributary and including a Tesco, Argos (retailer), Lidl and Matalan among others. It can be accessed on foot via Shakespeare Road in Brake Farm or by road via Crownhill Road. Public transport is provided by Plymouth Citybus in the form of services 60 and 61 and serves the western half of Manadon.
