The grand plan for relieving the transport chaos at Bramley Moore:
Buses that failed in London attempting to navigate roads that will be backed up by traffic.
Problems solved lads
Absolute waste , we copy ideas that have previously failed yet think it will work here. Useless the lot of them.

Found some 48 passenger water taxis at relatively reasonable prices.
Somebody should be looking at getting a fleet of 10-20 of them and sort out docking stations at the stadium, Albert dock, New Brighton and Waterloo.
£20 a head is just short of a grand a trip. Pick up, drop off to any of those and back should take 30 minutes. Each taxi could probably do 2, maybe 3 trips a game.
Maximum turnover would be about £57k each match day with 20 boats. (More of you use them to get people to the ground as well)

I would just buy 1/2 boats and do a booze cruise starting 2/3 hours before each game. Can either book privately or as groups.
Can then purchase alcohol at decent margins and charge a higher price for hire as well.

Trouble is they are very weather and sea state dependant.

Yeah, good point. Depths of winter might make it a bit hairy like

Mr Drone says he's been told the 3rd test event will be on Saturday 9th August (around 16 mins in his latest video, though no more info than that).

I’m going with Roma and it doubling up as Seamus’ testimonial.

Yes, while "sea state" is typically used in the context of oceans, the same principles and factors that influence wave conditions in the sea can also apply to rivers and inland waterways.
