00:00What are the next 12 days will like for you now?

00:04The preparation was key. We wanted and wished for a Wembley final, that opportunity to get

00:13back into the Premier League. Like I said, it's not straightforward. If it was, everybody

00:18would do it year in, year out with the challenges that we've had. We had to plan to overcome

00:25stubborn and difficult opposition, which we have done. We had to deliver and execute that,

00:30which we have done. We'll have to do exactly the same however we play. It's going to be

00:35an interesting game tomorrow night to watch. We'll do everything that we can in terms of

00:42giving the boys the best preparation and the detail. Then you've got to go and deliver another

00:48performance on the biggest of stages.

00:50We know the date, we know the venue. Tomorrow we'll know the opposition. As of now, the

00:55fans have no idea what time the kick-off will be in terms of planning to get back and things

00:58like that. I think you're welcome clarity on that for the punters from their point.

01:01Yeah, of course, because they're the main people that are going to be at the game. There's no

01:09game if there's no punters. So, of course, clarity from all aspects. For them, I'm sure

01:17that they have done right away through the season. I don't feel there's a negativity because

01:23of our previous campaigns. I don't know how you feel about it. There feels a freshness

01:28about it. There feels a real belief that we can make history and put to bed all that other

01:39things that have gone on previously. I've witnessed the majority of it as well. We've been on that

01:45journey from 2016. Six years in League One. I don't think anybody thought we'd get out

01:50of League One in our first season. We've done that. We've done some good things. We've had

01:55to suffer on other things, but I reference Newcastle all the time regarding it. The Geordies turned

02:01up at Wembley and got the job done. There's great examples of that, just as many examples

02:09of the negative parts of it. Cheers. Thank you.
