Shuttle tractor to the Amex

[T soprano]

Ive heard that the farmer who owns the land from woodingdean to the Amex is starting a TRACTOR SHUTTLE service it's going to pick up to 30 people at a time and cut straight across the fields to the stadium if this is a success he plans to run more than one tractor shuttle on match days, think its a great idea myself he said the price would be about £1 for a return journey so easy access to the ground and a tractor ride thrown in as well the kids will love it

Great initiative. Sounds fun too. I may park up in Woodingdean and take the tractor ride. My grandson would love that.

That is a fantastic idea, he will make a fortune by the end of the Season.

It'll be shut down by the council within two matches on 'safety grounds'.

H&S High Vis brigade will shut it down before it gets halfway across the first field.

Great idea if true. I wonder if he's thought about investing in those large plastic interlocking slats that they use for temporary car parks at summer events? Obviously not a problem for this weekend with the ground (currently) baked hard, but it would be useful in winter. He could stop farming and go into the car park and transport business!

Why is it a H&S issue? Private land, can't he do what he wants?

Of course he can't. Why on earth would H&S rules, not apply on private land?

nope

Oh don't worry. There will be enough Westminster legislation, local bye-laws and National Park regulations to kill it stone dead.

Brilliant idea. I don't think he will be met with much opposition as who cares if someone drives over their own land. He would already drive over it regularly. And the club should show support for it if he is met with opposition as it will help them out, if only by a small amount. And it will really improve the match day for any kids who go on it.

 

[beorhthelm]

please let this be true. i reckon people will go to Woodingdean just for the laugh.

he wont be able to do it

why not? any actually facts or speculation? dont invoke H&S, lets assume safety assessment is made and provisions for safety are in place.

 

[Bognor Bystander]

I would think he will need some public liability insurance in case of accidents but tractor shuttles sound fun and already operate successfully at Goodwood Revival where they ferry people round the fields on the edge of the racetrack. Hope it happens

 

[GingerBeerMan]

nope

Annoying

Typical really

 

[Hillian1]

The first child to get a splinter in his arse will put paid to it even if H&S don't get there first.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I do wonder why none of the local farmers don't open up their land for parking on...

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Perhaps they could bring these back
