The Tinners beat St Albans City 5-2 to claim the title on goal difference from Torquay United .

The club were playing 'home' games at Gloucester City - a 390-mile round-trip - for the last four seasons of having no home and having to graft through.

Truro's 'local' derby will be a 280-mile round-trip to Yeovil Town next season .

Many of the away days will be more than double that.
