00:00How you doing lads, you okay?
00:24Yeah.
00:25So we've got Starbreeze fans here, what's your names lads?
00:29I'm not a fan.
00:30Are you not a fan?
00:31I am.
00:32You've got the jacket on!
00:33I am.
00:34What's going on?
00:35You are.
00:36How long have you been following the star?
00:37Since 1969.
00:38Good man.
00:39And how do you feel about this issue that's going on with the stands?
00:42What's your thoughts on the situation?
00:44Well, they're hoping to resolve the situation, but everything's up in the air at the moment
00:51so I'm hoping to see what they're going to do.
00:54Are you of the mind that this is the home, you definitely want the ground to be staying
00:59here, or would you be open to a move?
01:01Well, everybody likes to have tradition, everybody likes to stay in their own environment, but
01:05down here the ground's a bit awkward because you've only got a certain level of three-sided
01:10ground, so there's a lot of things to look at.
01:13So you'd be open to other options potentially, potential moves?
01:18I think everybody would rather stay traditionally in the tower, but it depends really on ground
01:24work and all the work that's got to go into it, engineers and everything.
01:48Good day, boss.
01:49Hello, Glyn.
01:50Hello, Glyn, we're in the shed end at Starbridge FC.
01:53What's your thoughts on, you know, this might be having to go because of subsidence and
01:58instability of the bank, what's your thoughts, yeah?
02:01Well, things need to be done by themselves, they've built housing, they've got a lot of
02:05infrastructure, so I'm expecting the stability of the ground, I think.
02:10Yeah, yeah.
02:11We'll have new floodlights and everything.
02:13So you'd welcome, what, you'd welcome a little shift just to the side a few metres?
02:18You wouldn't want to be relocating, would you?
02:20No, no, we want to stay here.
02:21It's the home, isn't it?
02:22Yeah.
02:23How long have you been a Starbridge fan?
02:25Well, I've just got my second stint here when I was a teenager.
02:28Yeah, yeah.
02:29I've had to start it all my life, basically.
02:31You've had a second wind?
02:32Yeah.
02:33And how are they going to do today, chap?
02:34How are you feeling?
02:35What do you reckon?
02:36Well, it's going to be a tough game to get that off the ground, but hopefully we can
02:39get a free pass.
02:40Good luck, good luck.
02:42Cool, good stuff.
02:43Cheers, kiddo.
02:44Thank you, mate.
02:45You're welcome, mate.
