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.
