Truro City's first professional season in the National League has come to an end, with the club being relegated back to National League South. Manager John Askey says he and his Truro City side will build on their experience, having learned from the challenges they faced. The Tinners had the most away travel of any football team in English history and won seven of their 45 league games. Askey, who led the club to the National League South title last season, believes that the players will improve next season. The club's rise up the leagues has been rapid, with Truro City winning promotion back to National League South from the Southern League in May 2023 before going up another step two years later. They became fully professional last season but have struggled to find suitable training facilities and adapt to their gruelling travel schedule. Askey says that the circumstances have proven too much for the club, but they will keep striving to improve. Truro City has averaged gates of more than 2,000 this season, exceeding expectations. Askey says that the support has been fantastic and that the club has a unique atmosphere. The manager is hopeful that the club will continue to improve and one day become a Football League club. Truro City's final game of the season is against Aldershot Town. Askey is looking forward to the next season and is confident that the club will bounce back from relegation. The club's fans have been loyal and supportive throughout the season, and Askey is grateful for their enthusiasm. Truro City's journey has been remarkable, and the club is determined to continue growing and improving.
