Stena Line

And then the second weekend, we almost had a postponement when Dundee Stars...

I found it difficult to get over to Belfast for the Saturday game, last Saturday's game, due to issues with the Stena line.

Now, we're led to believe that it's not particularly because of weather difficulties.

It was more to do with the fact of technical difficulties.

The Stena line are currently running one super-fast ferry on that route, so it was going back and forth all day, where they usually have two, one going and the other one coming back simultaneously, and that wasn't happening.

So one of the, the first one, when the first ones got delayed, then it had a knock-on effect, but then one of them had to cancel, and then when one was cancelled, that just happened to be the one that these dogs were travelling on, and they had to be pushed back to a later ceiling, which then became later because of delays.

So by the time they got into Belfast and the OT arena, it was half past the face-off.

500,000, correct.

It would be a lot quieter if it was only 500, but we have 500, and we're very grateful for them coming through Stena Line in Belfast.

But it is, as I said before, a very busy route, a very busy route, and it's great to see.

And if people make bookings, I think the calls are answers here, is that right? Not far from here?

I guess a lot of people here, you kind of probably know or have got to know as well in recent times, but also I think the pilot, I think you said you were on the pilot boat for a while.

Is it like, as we're finding when we go around the country talking to various people, a bit of a community?

Yes, I suppose in a way it is, and working within Stena Line, I'm the interface between the ship, the port, the harbour commissioners, all our customers, etc.

So I suppose in a way, yes, there is that community, and to be honest with you, it does feel like a community, there is a feel there.

Uh, but yeah.

We're on a Stena Line, aren't we?

We are on a Stena Line back from Ireland.

Mm.

We're on international waters, so this is officially a pirate radio station.

Right.

Is Stena Line gonna turn into Noah's Ark? Donkeys flinging themselves overboard into the Irish Sea.

What about Aer Lingus?

What a- what, what about Aer Lingus?

waiting? He knew something I didn't know, Magnus.

But at the same time, when I look at my career, I worked at Stena Line.

When everyone was going to go on low-price flights, I would send passengers out to Europe almost every day.

Then I was in the film industry and tried to sell plastic pieces, i.e. DVDs, and at the same time everyone had to download them.
