slasher Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I’m considering a Thames cruise charter on the day of the game as maybe a prelude to Trafalgar Sq. I’ve made some tentative enquiries and obviously everything is a bit on the ‘mibbes aye’ side however I’ve determined that I’d need around 60 to make it viable. A quiet expression of interest would be enough at this stage as this might not get off the ground. I envisage a 3 hr cruise down the Thames probs kicking off at Greenwich and taking in Westminster. The boat would have a bar but be relaxed about carry outs, a buffet is possible but not essential and of course TA tunes would be blaring. I’m thinking 12 - 3 pm on the day of the game giving people the time to do the square pre match as well. This is very much a ‘thinking out loud’ exercise so don’t set too much store by it. As in the case of the Danube trip once all costs were met, profits to TASA Let me know what you think guys plz 🏴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTeeko Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Sounds decent, me and the wee man would be up for it! (He’ll be 9, shouldn’t be an issue though?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaundy Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Can’t imagine there being a lack of interest for this . London looks pleasant from the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 I'll keep you all posted on how it goes. Probably looking at April before I can confirm any details, in the meantime if people can continue to register an interest that will give me the clarity I need on numbers/viability etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Sounds interesting. Hopefully taking my boy for his first away trip, no chance of tickets, but this could be a way to keep his interest up instead of watching me scoofing from midday in Trafalgar Square. He can watch me scoof with a bit of culture about him instead 👍🏽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) 9 hours ago, Bzzzz said: You're gonna to need a bigger boat... Oh most of the boats are plenty big m8. Most of the carriers are being a bit coy on pricing at the moment probably because of the pandemic. From what I know numbers of around 60+ would be a break even figure. If the numbers go higher I can reduce the price unless they charge a premium per passenger. From memory I ran the Danube trip pretty tight to try and keep the cost down but its all guesswork until I get the green light from someone. 👍 Edited December 1, 2020 by slasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 All of this has been agreed in principle but I would say looking unlikely at the moment. We'll wait and see what develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 I've sent an email today withdrawing my interest in this in case anyone was wondering. As it stands I'm not sure if I'll bother making the trip. I certainly won't be going ticketless just to stand in Trafalgar sq getting pissed and then watching in some Wetherspoons or other. Thanks to everyone who showed an interest...... maybe next time 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing stopping you organising a scenic trip down the Clyde right enough for all of us who cant get tickets 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
