Serious trouble for them currently. Beside the pitch problems, they have massive problems behind the scenes, and cynical people would wonder if there is a ploy to just let it all fade away and offer voluntary relegation!!
Failure to complete fixtures would bring it's own financial actions from the League, which I doubt they would be able to comply with either!! I fear the grim reaper looming!!
If Welling beat Truro tonight, and put Taunton in the bottom four, then it maybe lights out.
Quite where it all leaves Truro as well, lord only knows!

Truro should just go and ground share with Torquay. It’s a win win for everyone.

Truro have shared at Torquay before. It was a financial disaster, as putting on any game at Plainmoor costs lots, leaving aside how much Torquay were charging Truro for the privilege.
That left Truro with trying to agree to play at Plymouth Argyle or Exeter City (non-starters) or finding another venue that meets National South grading requirements. Plymouth Parkway met the requirements, but is notorious for waterlogging. The problem, I suspect, is not the waterlogging, but the fact local refs making early inspections passed the pitch as fit for play, only for the match ref to turn up and call the game off. That = lots of expense for Truro, as they had to pay for the travelling expenses of the match officials and, more importantly, those of the visiting team while getting zero income. I suspect there was a loss of trust.
So, Truro have been in a bind. Their new ground will be ready for 2024/25, but they need to survive until then. What to do? The two other nearest grounds that meet National South requirements are Taunton and Weston. They chose Taunton. And it's not gone well. But, if they can stagger over the line playing silly numbers of "home" games on top of each other before the end of the season while avoiding relegation, it will be worth it from their perspective. I wish them well and if I was a fan I'd be genuinely excited at the prospect of watching my team play home games back in Truro, at long last.
