01:00I'm not sure what it's about, but it's nice, so...

01:05I'm glad, you know, to make me comfortable.

01:10Oh, that's nice.

01:17There he is.

01:20I like that.

01:23What are you going to take?

01:25I'm not quite sure.

01:28I don't know.

01:40Don't look like it. It looks like they've all gone.

01:42Yeah.

01:43Got here a little bit earlier, didn't I?

01:45Yeah, I had to sprint up here.

01:47Sprint?

01:48Yeah.

01:49What do you call it? A trot, maybe?

01:51Yeah.

01:52Okay.

01:59So the Crawley team are here now.

02:01I'm just going to go back through the press box,

02:04the media room,

02:06and see the players as they walk out

02:12to the stadium on the pitch for the first time.

02:16So we're here at the Amex for the Carabao Cup second round tie.

02:20First time the clubs have met.

02:22Well publicised since 1992,

02:25and there's some great footage that the club put out

02:29for their preview from the 1992 game.

02:32Interview with captain from the day, Tony Vesey.

02:36Really good interview, so it was great to see.

02:39Great to see that.

02:41We've got a live blog running at crawleyobserver.co.uk.

02:45How are you doing?

02:47Not too bad.

02:48Seeing some familiar faces here.

02:50I'm live on Facebook at the moment.

02:52Ah, hello Facebook.

02:54Familiar faces.

02:55There's some very loud music going on over here.

02:59Already a good atmosphere.

03:02Expecting more than 3,000 Crawley Town fans.

03:09Just going to take you behind the curtain as it were.

03:15There's one of my colleagues, Bill.

03:17Alright Bill, how you doing?

03:26Thanks a lot, cheers.

03:36Sam Morton is here.

03:41Let's go through the media room.

03:47Oh.

04:00So that's the media room,

04:03and this is where we walk up through from the press room

04:09up the corridor.

04:11Plenty of great photos.

04:14Billy Gilmore, wonder if they change that scene if he goes.

04:20From a European night.

04:24Jao Pedro scored the winner against Man United on Saturday.

04:30So up the stairs.

04:36Through here, the Tunnel Club is through there.

04:39And as we walk up.

04:44Yeah.

04:46And there we are.

04:47All the Crawley players.

04:53I'm Scott, I'm live on Facebook, excuse me.

04:56Gary, live on Facebook, how you doing?

04:58I'm very well, Mark, how are you?

04:59Yeah, not too bad, excited about tonight?

05:01Very excited, looking forward to it.

05:02Magnificent stadium, Sussex Derby, beautiful day.

05:05It's going to be a great game.

05:06Going to be a great game.

05:07Score prediction or is that to you?

05:09No, it's going to be one each and then it's going to go to pens.

05:12Then it's anybody's.

05:13And then it's anybody's, nice.

05:14I think that's what I've gone for as well.

05:16Okay.

05:19Yeah, we've got a great view.

05:20This will be my view from the press box.

05:23I am here, I think, P105.

05:25Okay, I'm here.

05:28Oh, Gary's just behind me.

05:29I'll be able to get running commentary if I miss anything.

05:31I'll be listening to him.

05:33Don't do that, anybody.

05:36Cool, that's Karl Larriman.

05:43Hi Karl, how are you doing?

05:46Yeah, I'm good, thanks.

05:47How are you doing?

05:48Yeah, exciting times.

05:54Yeah, normal, absolutely.

06:01There's the media team of Crawley, Sam Gadsden.

06:06And there's the Crawley players out in the centre of the pitch.

06:12And the coaching staff.

06:13There's Jamie Day, Ben Gladwin, Steve Hale, Ricky McFarlane.

06:22And Scott's spotted someone in the gods.

06:28So this will be filled up tonight, hopefully.

06:31And like we said, there's more than 3,000 Red fans going to be here.

06:38We're just above the tunnel.

06:40That's Sam Gadsden.

06:44Toby Malarkey walking in.

06:52That's Harry Forster.

06:54Hi Harry, how are you doing?

06:57Yeah, good, thanks.

07:08Take a look behind you.

07:20So Nick Paul, Nick Paul says he's going 2-1 Crawley.

07:23A couple of people have said that to me today.

07:27Like Gary's just said, a one-all.

07:28And I mean, if Crawley can get a draw, take it to penalties and win with 2-1,

07:34it'll be a great historic evening for the Reds.

07:38But yeah, post your score predictions here.

08:05There's Paul Pendergast.

08:25Great stadium here.

08:28At Falmer.

08:29At Falmer.

08:32Brighton to play 3rd-11 Crawley 1-0 Stephen North says.

08:36Here's Jeremy Kelly.

08:50Yeah, if Brighton do...

08:52I mean, Fabian Herzeler said yesterday that he is taking this game seriously.

08:56One, because it's a cup that they can probably win.

09:00Or should be looking to win.

09:02And also, because Crawley are a good side.

09:04He's watched Crawley twice.

09:05He saw them in pre-season.

09:08In a behind-the-closed-doors friendly.

09:12And then, obviously the under-21s.

09:15He was in the crowd watching an EFL trophy last week.

09:20Which Crawley won on penalties.

09:21It was 2-2.

09:22So, Herzeler's watched Crawley a couple of times.

09:24And he's been very, very impressed with what the Reds are doing.

09:28And he said he likes Scott Lindsay's ideas.

09:31So, yeah.

09:33I don't think he's going to take it for granted.

09:34But obviously they've got...

09:36They've just played Man United.

09:37Got a great result there.

09:39And then they're playing Arsenal on Saturday.

09:41So, it's...

09:43Yeah, big games.

09:48Fernando.

09:55And Saunders says good luck Crawley as well.

09:58So, yeah.

09:59It's going to be...

10:01It's going to be a fascinating game tonight, I think.

10:03Scott Lindsay, I spoke to him yesterday.

10:05And he said they are going to attack this like they would attack any other game.

10:09So, we expect Crawley to be on the front foot.

10:13Be aggressive in the press.

10:16He said he's going to go strong.

10:18And I think he's going to do that.

10:19So, yeah.

10:20In the press.

10:22He said he's going to go strong.

10:24He said, but there could be early change.

10:25Because again, Crawley have got...

10:27Obviously, the long trip to Wigan on Saturday.

10:29Then they've got Barnsley this Saturday at home.

10:33That's Scott Lindsay himself.

10:34How you doing, Scott?

10:35Yeah, good.

10:42Just up here.

10:44Yes.

10:45Not a bad view.

10:48Feeling good?

10:50Yeah.

10:52No pressure.
