Askey taking Tinners on a pleasure trip

THEY will break all records for long-distance awayday travel in English football next season.

- 

But for Truro City, whose promotion to the National League is the greatest moment in Cornwall's football history, the 870-mile round trips to Carlisle and Hartlepool, and a probable 912-mile hike to Gateshead, will be nearer privilege than purgatory.

After holding their nerve on the final day of the season, when no fewer than six teams could have won the National League South title, manager John Askey’s underdogs won the golden ticket.

And for Askey (top left, with assistant manager Stewart Yetton) the headaches were only starting following the Tinners’ giddy celebrations.
