To be honest, given Truro's home gates of a few hundred people (without the 200 mile trip) then I imagine only one or two stands will be open with minimal stewarding.
It's their home game so they should be liable for any costs. Any other details for catering or facilites are in agreement between the clubs.

Thanks Gulli
That makes sense and, in theory, should provide some much needed cash injection to the club

On those calculations there will be c.£30k of additional cash available.
I assume that each club keeps the gate receipts for their own matches? If that is the case, does anyone know if each club is responsible for their own match day costs (e.g. stewards/policing etc.) ?
If Torquay receives the £60k as "rent" will the board need to factor in ongoing running costs for the Truro match days e.g. utilities?
Trying to understand if this arrangement will result in a significant amount of cash being left over, after ground improvements, in Torquays favour, or if some/most/all of the remaining monies will be required to cover the costs of running 50+ games per season
Well £30k seems to be a huge amount to spend for 3 or 4 postponements per season ,surely it would be cheaper to hire in a couple of those County Cricket sponge roller machines as & when, after all they are not being used in the Cricket closed season
