I am surprised that nobody seems to use an electric milk float. With the demise of the milkman doorstep delivery there must be hundreds available

I think they did in the USA World Cup.

Milk floats weigh several tons, I'm sure they wouldn't do the pitch any good at all.

Many years ago Palace had a Morris Minor car with rollers instead of wheels that they drove up and down the pitch as soon as the match finished to roll the pitch so using a milk float with similar rollers would achieve the same surely.

The weight of milk floats is mainly in the weight of the batteries so I am sure that with modern technology an electric milk float type vehicle could be constructed that weighed a lot less and could get from the side lines to the centre of the pitch and then back out to the concourse if an ambulance was needed quicker and smoother than any other form of transportation of the player. Or even a flat backed electric golf type trolley like used at the airports for ferrying disabled people about.

I know that happened in the USA with electric carts but I meant specifically in this country as they dont have doorstep milk deliveries anywhere else that I know of.

Do they still have a milk float round in Hove? I'm sure I saw one about a year ago. I had a milk man in Camden up until 2001-ish.
