News Update: Pirates to return to the Mennaye Field, Penzance
Here is a copy of the press release taken from the Cornish Pirates website dated July 16th 2010:
With a month to go before the first game the Cornish Pirates have abandoned plans to continue playing at Camborne.
The Clubs have been unable to agree on the use on non match days of the new events marquee currently being installed at Camborne so rather than continue in this state of flux and incur further cost without knowing the outcome the decision has been made to up sticks and undertake the work and installation at the Mennaye where we have unfettered access.
Supporters and members are advised that every effort will be made to make the Mennaye experience as comfortable as possible in the short time left with new stands and the 200 seater marquee sited near the existing stand, which we hope to upgrade.
The club is very grateful to Camborne RFC for the use of its ground over the last few years where some terrific rugby has been on show - not least the last game played there in the Cup Final against Munster.
