Speaker 1: Jack, Jagged Trump, Jagged Trump.
0:18
Speaker 2: Jagger, Maroon five and moves like Jaggar. As I said
0:26
Speaker 2: earlier on, we've got young Charlie Prescott in the hot
0:30
Speaker 2: seat today as my special guest once again. Good morning, Charlie,
0:35
Speaker 2: Good morning. How are we doing in there? We got
0:38
Speaker 2: to what we're going to talk about today, then we
0:40
Speaker 2: normally we normally black it, so let's uh, let's not
0:45
Speaker 2: spoil anything we're coming on. But yeah, I mean we've
0:50
Speaker 2: been doing Seasiders Radio now for what probably the second season, yeah,
0:55
Speaker 2: about eighteen months. You come to the fall when I
1:00
Speaker 2: got canceled last year and you took over from me
1:04
Speaker 2: completely for the best part of six months, I believe.
1:07
Speaker 2: And what was it like? Doing it on your own?
1:11
Speaker 2: A lot worse than doing it with someone else. It
1:14
Speaker 2: is weird, isn't it When you when you're you know,
1:17
Speaker 2: you're actually you know, have to talk for ninety minutes
1:21
Speaker 2: plus the halftime and the build up and in you know,
1:25
Speaker 2: the after show is well, it is very difficult at least, well,
1:28
Speaker 2: you know, when you've got somebody there, you've got somebody
1:30
Speaker 2: to actually talk to, and you get a different perspective
1:33
Speaker 2: as well of the game.
1:34
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people forget about sort of
1:36
Speaker 3: age based discrimination as well, as I said many times
1:39
Speaker 3: on air, and I don't like to talk about it
1:42
Speaker 3: too much, but sort of that infield town game.
1:44
Speaker 2: I know you know where I'm going, yes, but.
1:48
Speaker 3: I'll run through the store. We got to the ground,
1:50
Speaker 3: of course, Aids he said, was ill. So it's just
1:52
Speaker 3: myself and we got up towards the sort of the
1:55
Speaker 3: press area, and they said, sorry, we've got we've not
1:58
Speaker 3: got enough room in the press areas. I said, that's fine,
2:00
Speaker 3: all right, I'll made myself up the other end and
2:02
Speaker 3: just sort of sit on the chairs at the front
2:04
Speaker 3: there and I'll do my commentary.
2:06
Speaker 2: It must have been about.
2:07
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty minutes in, twenty five minutes in and he
2:10
Speaker 3: comes over and goes, sorry, you're annoying our directors. You
2:12
Speaker 3: can't sit here. And I was like, okay, so where
2:15
Speaker 3: do you want me to sit? And he goes away again.
2:17
Speaker 3: And of course obviously there's still action going on here
2:18
Speaker 3: which we want to be commentating on. So I've walked
2:20
Speaker 3: up to the press area. I said, look, I've been
2:22
Speaker 3: told I can't sit up there. I need to sit
2:23
Speaker 3: in the press area. Gone there's no seats in the
2:26
Speaker 3: press area. So I come back and by this time
2:28
Speaker 3: I think Tom Dairy scored and we missed that, and
2:32
Speaker 3: we sat back down and the director comes over again
2:34
Speaker 3: and he goes, you can't sit here, and I think
2:36
Speaker 3: I said, jump me to magic a seat up in
2:37
Speaker 3: the press in the press area, but I can't sit there,
2:41
Speaker 3: and he just I think I ended up sitting on
2:42
Speaker 3: a cold step at the back of the ground on
2:44
Speaker 3: a freezing cold day.
2:46
Speaker 2: And it's just one of those things. I think you
2:49
Speaker 2: were saying how nice they were, so you were. Yeah,
2:51
Speaker 2: I was very surprised actually, because in Enfield Turn, I've
2:54
Speaker 2: been nothing but accommodating it every time I've been there.
2:58
Speaker 2: I mean I've done a commentary there twice before, and
3:02
Speaker 2: I think we've even had a cup of tea given
3:03
Speaker 2: to me before, which is very rare when we go
3:06
Speaker 2: to away grounds. But yeah, I mean I think that,
3:10
Speaker 2: you know, that was a bit much.
3:13
Speaker 3: It's just so sure, wh we're doing it out of
3:16
Speaker 3: our own time as well, and we're not there to
3:18
Speaker 3: annoy people and really intrued if you're getting annoyed by
3:21
Speaker 3: a bit of matchday commentary, surely football isn't isn't isn't
3:24
Speaker 3: for you?
3:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think the worst one I had
3:27
Speaker 2: was I think it was Chess Hunt, very very similar
3:30
Speaker 2: to what you said. You know that their directors didn't
3:34
Speaker 2: like commentating people commentating whether they were trying to watch
3:39
Speaker 2: the game, and you know, yeah, it was I had
3:43
Speaker 2: to move away and I had you know, there was
3:47
Speaker 2: no electric there, so I had to rustle something up quickly,
3:52
Speaker 2: and you know, you just get through it the best
3:55
Speaker 2: way you can, and thankfully I didn't miss a goal.
3:58
Speaker 2: But yeah, it does happen occasionally, and it is a
4:03
Speaker 2: bit sad. But you know, we are talking non league,
4:06
Speaker 2: and some grounds are getting better. I mean, up until
4:10
Speaker 2: this season we didn't have electricity in our press area,
4:13
Speaker 2: but now they seem to be accommodated a little bit
4:17
Speaker 2: better in there, and they gave us what we wanted there.
4:21
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of clubs as well who
4:23
Speaker 3: are sort of at the foreground of non league, sort
4:26
Speaker 3: of becoming this more professional environment as well, with matchday
4:29
Speaker 3: commentaries and things like that. And unfortunately, I don't know
4:33
Speaker 3: how to word this. It tends not to be the
4:36
Speaker 3: elder statesman of YSHMIA League, if that makes sense. Your
4:38
Speaker 3: chest hunts, your end fields, and these teams who have
4:41
Speaker 3: been around for a lot longer. But you look at
4:43
Speaker 3: your bit of rickeys and people like that, who are
4:45
Speaker 3: suddenly really accommodated and looking to run it, run it
4:47
Speaker 3: like a proper football class.
4:48
Speaker 2: Hashtag United comes to mind there. Well, they are a
4:53
Speaker 2: internet team, aren't they. Really, There's no such place as
4:56
Speaker 2: a hashtag. They formed a team many years not that
5:00
Speaker 2: many years ago, and they've come up the league, seen
5:03
Speaker 2: leaps and bounds, and they're actually in the obviously in
5:06
Speaker 2: the Esbian Premier League, the same as folks in Victor.
5:08
Speaker 2: It was quite daunting.
5:09
Speaker 3: Actually, I'm going back again because the first game I
5:12
Speaker 3: did without you was Hashtag United away and sort of
5:17
Speaker 3: as someone who had been watching Hashtag United from a
5:20
Speaker 3: young age, suddenly I sat there commentating for the first
5:22
Speaker 3: time without you, next to next to sort of Spencer
5:25
Speaker 3: and said, for of course, if you don't know how,
5:27
Speaker 3: the chairman and sort of founders and media stars of
5:31
Speaker 3: Hashtag United do all of it.
5:33
Speaker 2: And so they are this whether people like it or not.
5:37
Speaker 3: They are the biggest team in the ISHMA League undoubtedly,
5:40
Speaker 3: and you look at their social media following, how many
5:43
Speaker 3: people they have across their different channels.
5:45
Speaker 2: They are the biggest team in the league. Yeah, they
5:50
Speaker 2: might not be the best team, but yeah, I mean
5:53
Speaker 2: supporters wise throughout the world, they're the Manchester United of
5:57
Speaker 2: the Espian Premier League, aren't they really?
5:58
Speaker 3: Their attendances I think they are for one hundred and
6:00
Speaker 3: eighty four, but when you take into perspective, they average
6:04
Speaker 3: I think about eighty thousand views on their match day
6:06
Speaker 3: highlights each week and I don't even think that's doing addressice.
6:09
Speaker 3: I think it may be more than that, but it's
6:12
Speaker 3: is on it.
6:13
Speaker 2: I don't.
6:14
Speaker 3: It's mental to understand how this club in step seven
6:18
Speaker 3: seven eight of the non league can have almost as
6:22
Speaker 3: many social media views on highlights as Premier League clubs do.
6:25
Speaker 2: It is crazy, and you know, I think they'll only
6:30
Speaker 2: go forward. They've sort of hit a bit of a
6:32
Speaker 2: stumbling block now because they've been going through the leagues,
6:36
Speaker 2: as I say, quite quite rapidly, and now they've come
6:38
Speaker 2: to quite a good level, as we know, and it's
6:42
Speaker 2: just me and Premier League and they're struggling a bit
6:45
Speaker 2: this season, but I'm sure they'll chuck some money out
6:49
Speaker 2: it and start doing well soon. We're going to put
6:51
Speaker 2: another song and then when we come back me and
6:54
Speaker 2: trying going to tell you about when we went to Wembley. Wembley,
7:00
Speaker 2: that was a good day anyway. This one is what
7:02
Speaker 2: we got. We got a Christmas one. This is Chris
7:04
Speaker 2: Rea is driving home for Christmas and also the sponsorship.
7:10
Speaker 4: One oh five point nine Radio Folkston.
7:13
Speaker 3: This song has been adopted by the DJB Furniture Emporium
7:17
Speaker 3: and we would like to take this opportunity to wish
7:19
Speaker 3: all of our customers are very merry Christmas, are a
7:22
Speaker 3: happy New Year.
7:23
Speaker 5: Folkstone's radio station, Radio Focuston made in Folkeston Radio Focuston.
7:35
Speaker 2: Just before that, we were saying that we did Wembley
7:39
Speaker 2: last year. Yeah, that was quite surreal, wasn't it. I
7:43
Speaker 2: mean we put it into perspective. We go down to
7:46
Speaker 2: a place like Whitehawk, which is basic to say the least,
7:51
Speaker 2: and then the following week we're at Wembley Stadium. It
7:58
Speaker 2: was very surreal, wasn't it. We were just to let
8:00
Speaker 2: you the listener know that we did the Non League
8:04
Speaker 2: finals day which was the f A Trophy and the
8:06
Speaker 2: FA VARs which is played at Wembley Stadium on the
8:09
Speaker 2: same day. Tell us a little bit how how we
8:15
Speaker 2: we finally got to actually.
8:16
Speaker 3: Do that, or to start with, I think that last
8:21
Speaker 3: week two weeks of the season was probably my favorite
8:24
Speaker 3: favorite spell of Seasiders Radio last year, as much as
8:27
Speaker 3: I love following folks and doing was it Ramsgate Chichester?
8:31
Speaker 1: Yeah?
8:31
Speaker 2: We did the playoff semi final that long, didn't we?
8:33
Speaker 2: That was I think that was one of the semi
8:36
Speaker 2: finals and I think that was probably it was. It
8:39
Speaker 2: was the best few figures of this season. And then
8:41
Speaker 2: we did Chatham Horsham. Did we do the following week? No,
8:45
Speaker 2: because we've tried to do the final but there they
8:48
Speaker 2: were literally burst into capacity and they couldn't accommodate us
8:52
Speaker 2: a semi final, didn't we We did the semi final
8:54
Speaker 2: against Horsham?
8:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we went after that we said, I
8:58
Speaker 3: think we said should we try and get into to
9:00
Speaker 3: non league finals day? And a bit of back and
9:04
Speaker 3: forth female with the f A and I think they're
9:08
Speaker 3: The main concern was who had the rights to it?
9:10
Speaker 2: And I think the answer in the end was no one.
9:14
Speaker 2: The email. You got the email and it came back
9:16
Speaker 2: and I remember seeing it.
9:16
Speaker 3: You sent it over and I was sort of like, whoa,
9:19
Speaker 3: we're going to commentate, got we're off to Wembley and
9:22
Speaker 3: the surreal things. We could have got into the National
9:25
Speaker 3: League playoff final as well, couldn't we if we have email.
9:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were a little bit late for that one,
9:28
Speaker 2: weren't we unfortunately, But we will do that this year.
9:31
Speaker 3: Which hopefully, yeah, hopefully we can get into this year.
9:33
Speaker 3: But as you said, doing your Whitehawks and people like
9:38
Speaker 3: that who don't have I don't have these four stand
9:42
Speaker 3: grounds call them that ones that feel like proper football grounds.
9:46
Speaker 3: And to go and commentate at the home of football
9:48
Speaker 3: was just, yeah, surreal and I don't think people realize
9:51
Speaker 3: how nice the press get it in professional environment.
9:55
Speaker 2: It was a bit of an eye open, wasn't it. Yeah.
9:58
Speaker 2: I mean we got our lanyards and our own entrance
10:01
Speaker 2: and we went up there and there's a massive, great,
10:03
Speaker 2: big computer area and everything, the media area, help yourself
10:10
Speaker 2: to food, drink and the view stunning view.
10:16
Speaker 3: One of the best views of the pitch. Yeah you
10:19
Speaker 3: get rid of the gantry, probably second best.
10:21
Speaker 2: And it was just was fantastic. I mean, what was it?
10:26
Speaker 2: Took great wake in rovers and was it Roger? I
10:30
Speaker 2: can see it Romford and then we did Sony hold
10:36
Speaker 2: Moor's versus gatesheads. I mean only the week before they'd
10:42
Speaker 2: lost at Wembley in the playoff final to Bromley on penalties,
10:49
Speaker 2: and then of course he Fight Trophy went to penalties
10:52
Speaker 2: as well and they lost on penalties again. And it
10:55
Speaker 2: was the same people that missed the penalties the week before.
10:58
Speaker 3: I remember we were saying this. They stepped up, were saying,
11:00
Speaker 3: do you stick to you twist? And I think we
11:02
Speaker 3: were split, weren't we? You think one of us said?
11:04
Speaker 3: One of the said if if they back themselves, let
11:06
Speaker 3: them take it again, and everyone said I wouldn't touch it.
11:09
Speaker 2: And they were at the end, weren't they. They weren't. No,
11:13
Speaker 2: And yeah they say like you don't sort strike twice.
11:17
Speaker 2: I'm actually wondering if they're actually at some of our
11:20
Speaker 2: mores this season after missing the penalties in two, you know,
11:25
Speaker 2: two massive games for them. But yeah, I mean that
11:27
Speaker 2: Wembley was a bit of the icing on the cake
11:29
Speaker 2: for us. I was just having to look through before
11:32
Speaker 2: we come on here. And do you know how many
11:34
Speaker 2: listeners we've had since I started this?
11:38
Speaker 5: What is it?
11:39
Speaker 2: What were we in twenty twenty four. I think I'm
11:42
Speaker 2: starting in about twenty twenty one, halfway through the season.
11:46
Speaker 2: I think I started.
11:47
Speaker 3: I know we were around twenty thousand. I've be intruders
11:51
Speaker 3: to what we've added over the last season or so well.
11:55
Speaker 2: Up to and including Saturday. After Saturday's listening figures, we
11:58
Speaker 2: have had total listening so far of thirty seven thousand,
12:02
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty six.
12:04
Speaker 3: That means we must have added at least seven to
12:07
Speaker 3: ten thousand over the course of last season.
12:10
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. I mean our viewing figures. I mean I
12:13
Speaker 2: started off and it was like twenty two I think
12:16
Speaker 2: twenty three people when I first started, and you know,
12:20
Speaker 2: it's rapidly grown and we get over you know, one
12:23
Speaker 2: hundred play pool quite regularly. And I mean the classic
12:27
Speaker 2: example is today we're playing Where You Go. We were
12:31
Speaker 2: playing Wing Gat in fintionally this afternoon. It was earlier
12:34
Speaker 2: on in the season. We drew three to three of them.
12:36
Speaker 2: It was a little bit of a controversial enter the
12:38
Speaker 2: game where it was abandoned because of an injury to
12:41
Speaker 2: their goal gup and I think the attendance was like
12:47
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten at the actual ground and our
12:50
Speaker 2: listening figures were one hundred and forty two, so we
12:53
Speaker 2: had more listeners on Seasiders Radio than they had people
12:57
Speaker 2: coming through the gate. But yeah, that was a bit
13:00
Speaker 2: of a That was a very nice, very nice day.
13:03
Speaker 5: Really.
13:04
Speaker 2: They started off very quite a nice press area for
13:08
Speaker 2: us to go into. That was fine. And we have
13:12
Speaker 2: this little sea side this radio banner which we normally
13:15
Speaker 2: put up near us so you know, other people could
13:18
Speaker 2: see that we are focusing in Victor and we are
13:21
Speaker 2: doing the commentary for the game, and it's important we
13:23
Speaker 2: put it near us. Yeah, as far as close to
13:26
Speaker 2: us as possible. And of course where we were at
13:30
Speaker 2: when get officially, there was no real nowhere to really
13:34
Speaker 2: hang it. So I just hang it just to the
13:36
Speaker 2: left of us, didn't I. It was like over their tunnel.
13:39
Speaker 2: Go on, tell the listener what ever?
13:42
Speaker 5: Was he?
13:42
Speaker 3: The chairman of the director was one of the one
13:45
Speaker 3: of He came up and said, you're not putting that there? Well,
13:48
Speaker 3: it wasn't even that. He was running around before, going
13:51
Speaker 3: who's banner is that? And I've sort of sat there
13:53
Speaker 3: looking at you and I was like, I think that's
13:55
Speaker 3: our banner, isn't it? And he came up and he said,
13:58
Speaker 3: you can't put that there. He was it was very
14:00
Speaker 3: nice about it.
14:01
Speaker 2: Either. If you did just come up and said can
14:03
Speaker 2: you please move that, I think we'd have gone. Yeah, right,
14:05
Speaker 2: no problem. Quite quite confronting. He came.
14:08
Speaker 3: He came over and you can't put that there. We
14:11
Speaker 3: wouldn't put it over your tunnel. And I don't think
14:13
Speaker 3: it was over the tunnel. It was over the front
14:14
Speaker 3: of our press.
14:15
Speaker 5: Bit.
14:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a left of us.
14:18
Speaker 3: You can't put it that. You can't put it up,
14:20
Speaker 3: So we took it down. This is part one of
14:22
Speaker 3: Vashnanigan's with our friends that the directors. I'm sure we'll
14:26
Speaker 3: talk about it later, but we I think we ended.
14:29
Speaker 2: Up moving it, didn't you.
14:30
Speaker 3: You ended up putting over the opposite side of the camera.
14:32
Speaker 3: So on all the highlights you can now see the
14:34
Speaker 3: Seasiders radio band, which I think works out even better. Yeah,
14:39
Speaker 3: but yeah, that was the first thing, wasn't it. And
14:41
Speaker 3: then the game itself, because you know, we've been done
14:45
Speaker 3: very well over the last few see I think it
14:47
Speaker 3: was four one four one, I think the previous seasons,
14:50
Speaker 3: and yeah, well put two point it was three to
14:55
Speaker 3: three going into the last ten minutes, wasn't it?
14:57
Speaker 2: Yeah?
14:58
Speaker 3: And it was a great game of football as well,
14:59
Speaker 3: to be I think they scored really early.
15:01
Speaker 2: Then we equalized.
15:02
Speaker 3: I remember the first equal the first equalised, the hoitis
15:05
Speaker 3: pull from the right and Tom Derry doing Tom dairy
15:08
Speaker 3: things and put it head on it into the Botom
15:10
Speaker 3: corner and sort of continued that patterned, didn't It was
15:14
Speaker 3: very open in the midfield.
15:15
Speaker 4: It was.
15:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were the makings of our own downfall. But
15:18
Speaker 3: suddenly we went in, went in free one down, didn't
15:21
Speaker 3: we are half time? And we came back out and
15:23
Speaker 3: we scored two, and as she said, we're going into
15:25
Speaker 3: the last ten minutes, I think we both sent the
15:27
Speaker 3: time we're going to win this game.
15:29
Speaker 2: You could. You get these feelings, don't you when you're
15:31
Speaker 2: watching games sometimes? And we were really on top and
15:34
Speaker 2: they they just had a player sent off as well,
15:36
Speaker 2: hadn't they? It was and we prot the kitchen sync.
15:41
Speaker 3: We talked about red cards and the officiating, and I'm
15:45
Speaker 3: sure that's another whole concoction itself, another show. But he
15:50
Speaker 3: the first one was a stonewall yellow, if I remember,
15:52
Speaker 3: it was denying a clear and obvious counter attack or whatever.
15:55
Speaker 2: The terminology of it. He's pulled him down, didn't he.
15:57
Speaker 3: And then he tapped the ball about four or four
16:01
Speaker 3: yards and he sent him off for which I thought
16:06
Speaker 3: was harsh, But then it happened to Marvel like Peteta.
16:10
Speaker 2: A couple of days later.
16:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, so didn't fit the sorry for him anymore. But yeah,
16:15
Speaker 3: they're down to ten and then I'll hand back over
16:18
Speaker 3: to you. With the moment which unfortunately summed up the afternoon.
16:24
Speaker 2: Well, I think it was a corner, wasn't it. Was
16:27
Speaker 2: it a corner across? It came in. Tom Derry folks
16:31
Speaker 2: Is number nine, went up for the ball, had every
16:35
Speaker 2: right to go for the ball. Goalkeeper went up there
16:36
Speaker 2: with him. They both clashed. So we say, I don't
16:41
Speaker 2: believe Tom hurt him or you know, it definitely wasn't intentional.
16:46
Speaker 2: If he did hurt him, I just think it was
16:48
Speaker 2: the way the goalkeeper fell.
16:50
Speaker 1: Uh.
16:50
Speaker 2: And he was he was sparko and he was complete.
16:53
Speaker 2: He was out cold the goalkeeper. There was a little
16:56
Speaker 2: bit of a concern in there. The renownblance was called
16:59
Speaker 2: and then we're sort of sitting in the press box
17:01
Speaker 2: and that lovely gentleman two of them, wasn't it? This
17:05
Speaker 2: is where Yeah, that's right. There was two of them
17:07
Speaker 2: when they come down, and one of them, our friend.
17:09
Speaker 3: From earlier was one of them, and then the chair
17:12
Speaker 3: it was the director at Casus earlier, and then the
17:14
Speaker 3: chairman with his friend that came down with.
17:16
Speaker 2: Him, and his words were exactly if he if our
17:22
Speaker 2: goalkeeper dies, Tom Derry should be charged with murder.
17:26
Speaker 3: And I think as he walked down, I was in
17:28
Speaker 3: the middle of summing up and I think I said,
17:30
Speaker 3: this happens up and down in the country every week,
17:33
Speaker 3: and it's fine because it is.
17:34
Speaker 2: It's a fifty to fifty between keeper and don't in football.
17:38
Speaker 2: I mean, you go up for the ball and you unfortunately,
17:41
Speaker 2: it's normally the way you land.
17:43
Speaker 3: And he came down he said, I'm not going to
17:45
Speaker 3: repeat exactly what he said because he used some colorful
17:47
Speaker 3: language the area, but it was along the lines of
17:51
Speaker 3: if you're not going to commentate properly, don't commentate at all.
17:54
Speaker 3: And I sort of sat there thinking, well, we are
17:57
Speaker 3: We've summed that up with something that up perfectly, and
18:01
Speaker 3: unfortunately it summed him up as a person because he
18:04
Speaker 3: then felt it was his right to go on to
18:06
Speaker 3: the pitch and express his views towards the folks of
18:09
Speaker 3: officials and the referee.
18:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think, well, we don't know for sure,
18:13
Speaker 2: but we reckon. That was the reason why the game
18:15
Speaker 2: was abandoned. As soon as the ambulance game took him
18:19
Speaker 2: away obviously made sure that he was okay. The referee
18:23
Speaker 2: then decided to call the game.
18:24
Speaker 3: Off, which was I think was a whole other saga
18:28
Speaker 3: in itself, because as soon as the ambulance got there,
18:30
Speaker 3: it's felt like he called it off, which to put
18:32
Speaker 3: into perspective, I think, was it worthing played that same
18:36
Speaker 3: day and as approached, Yeah, there was, Yeah, that was
18:39
Speaker 3: it was a bad, bad day all around that and
18:41
Speaker 3: they waited, they restarted afterwards, and you just you just
18:46
Speaker 3: feel maybe for referee on the day was a little
18:49
Speaker 3: bit I don't want to say stronger, but I feel
18:51
Speaker 3: like that is probably the word, if he'd just sort
18:54
Speaker 3: of held his nerve.
18:55
Speaker 2: Both teams were ready to play on yeah, I mean
18:57
Speaker 2: remember them to Toby Barron of finished, he'd actually put
19:02
Speaker 2: the goalkeeper shirt on, ready to go into goal.
19:05
Speaker 3: They were both warming up, and as soon as the
19:07
Speaker 3: ambulance got there, it's sort of abandoned and Unfortunately, if
19:11
Speaker 3: he'd just waited fifteen minutes, Prince I can't remember his
19:14
Speaker 3: second name, that he was in the ambulance and it
19:17
Speaker 3: drove off to the hospital with fifteen minutes later. So
19:21
Speaker 3: it would have saved a lot of controversy if he's
19:25
Speaker 3: just waited and we'd have finished a game.
19:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what didn't help is then the Isami League
19:30
Speaker 2: Premier League decided, not straight away what the result would be.
19:35
Speaker 2: It took him what three weeks here something close to that,
19:38
Speaker 2: wasn't he Yeah, it took him three weeks to decide
19:40
Speaker 2: that the game was abandoned and the three three draw stood.
19:46
Speaker 2: But like you said, we were sort of well on
19:49
Speaker 2: top and we really thought that we would get three
19:52
Speaker 2: points there after we have won that.
19:54
Speaker 3: I'm almost certain we'd have won that game. But what's
19:56
Speaker 3: interesting now for people who don't follow the Ishma League
19:59
Speaker 3: religious there was a sort of similar situation in the
20:02
Speaker 3: Lewis game.
20:03
Speaker 2: Never weeit wasn't there with a Cray Valley.
20:06
Speaker 3: There was a player sent off for a challenge and
20:08
Speaker 3: someone broke their leg and that was abandoned with Lewis
20:10
Speaker 3: tunel up. So it'll be interesting to see if they
20:12
Speaker 3: stick to their guns now and they yeah, results.
20:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we all know what the ESPAN Premier League
20:19
Speaker 2: are like. I mean we could go on about it
20:22
Speaker 2: for ever a bit. We've just had Boxing Day and normally,
20:26
Speaker 2: if you're a football fan boxing day fixtures, especially non league,
20:30
Speaker 2: you don't want to be traveling too far on boxing day.
20:33
Speaker 2: You just want to go around the corner and see
20:35
Speaker 2: your local team, or if you have to travel maybe
20:38
Speaker 2: half hour three cours, an hour to an hour up
20:40
Speaker 2: the road, which is he's doable. But no, the Espen
20:44
Speaker 2: Premier League decided that all the other fixtures apart from
20:48
Speaker 2: two we're going to be local derbies. And of course
20:51
Speaker 2: then don't for Athletic out to travel to Hastings not
20:55
Speaker 2: too far for them, but you know, far enough on
20:57
Speaker 2: boxing day and they stick us all the way down
20:59
Speaker 2: to Lewis. I mean Lewis is not the easiest place
21:02
Speaker 2: to get to. It's further than Brighton on a boxing day.
21:06
Speaker 2: And if you're listening to any supporters that went down
21:10
Speaker 2: to Lewis, fair play to you because that was a
21:13
Speaker 2: trek and a half for again, it was a nil
21:18
Speaker 2: Neil draw.
21:19
Speaker 3: Our media man Handt summed it up really nicely with
21:22
Speaker 3: his study, did his research and there was only one
21:25
Speaker 3: game in the National League which supporters and players had
21:28
Speaker 3: to travel further than we did. And in the National League,
21:31
Speaker 3: of course, that's across the whole country and the EISHMA
21:34
Speaker 3: League regionalized, which is insane.
21:37
Speaker 2: You know, I've said it before. You know, Isthmian League
21:41
Speaker 2: really needs to take a good look at themselves and
21:44
Speaker 2: sort it out because that shouldn't happen again. Whether or
21:47
Speaker 2: we should have played over Athletic is another matter, but
21:51
Speaker 2: you know, it should have been localized a little bit more.
21:54
Speaker 3: I think the kicker with Dover was well, it's done already,
21:57
Speaker 3: it's done by it was done by November, and you
22:01
Speaker 3: don't want fixtures like that to be done in the
22:04
Speaker 3: first quarter of the season, really, wasn't it.
22:06
Speaker 1: Yeah?
22:07
Speaker 3: I mean some times you hadn't even played and it
22:10
Speaker 3: was the same for everyone that. I think the official
22:12
Speaker 3: reasoning was on those Tuesday nights. I don't know if
22:15
Speaker 3: it was official, but the murmurings from people around grounds
22:19
Speaker 3: was that the Ishma League didn't want teams traveling too
22:22
Speaker 3: far on a Tuesday night, which is which is stupid
22:25
Speaker 3: in itself because games get canceled and you end up
22:28
Speaker 3: traveling traveled up to Horshes on a Tuesday night because
22:31
Speaker 3: of their their cut run and it just feels I mean,
22:34
Speaker 3: what's the difference. Yeah, it really, what is the difference?
22:37
Speaker 3: It just feels so and I'm sure Doaver felt the same.
22:40
Speaker 3: But having them today kick off by was it forty
22:43
Speaker 3: minutes and you could I think you could have just
22:47
Speaker 3: got so many more people into that ground if it
22:49
Speaker 3: was on a Saturday, which is so sad.
22:53
Speaker 2: I mean, we sold out. Our official capacity at children
22:58
Speaker 2: Road the Airkline Stadium is four thousand, but because it's
23:00
Speaker 2: an evening game, obviously the capacity has to be lower.
23:03
Speaker 2: So we got we have three thousand people in there
23:06
Speaker 2: for that game against over Athletic and you say it's Saturday.
23:11
Speaker 2: We we could put the sellout sounds up again being
23:14
Speaker 2: four thousand people because a lot more people would have
23:16
Speaker 2: been able to come if it was a Saturday. Then midweek.
23:19
Speaker 2: I there were lots of people turned away. Yeah yeah, yeah,
23:23
Speaker 2: and that was we're not talking seven forty five. We're
23:27
Speaker 2: talking just after seven o'clock, you know, so you can
23:30
Speaker 2: imagine it was it was maham. But yeah, we're talking
23:34
Speaker 2: more again in a very few months. We're going to
23:36
Speaker 2: play this one by ub forty. This one's called rat
23:39
Speaker 2: in the Kitchen and this goes out to me because
23:41
Speaker 2: I've got a rat in my kitchen and I can't
23:44
Speaker 2: get the thing. If you if you know how to
23:46
Speaker 2: kill a rat, let me know, because I'll tell you what.
23:49
Speaker 2: I am getting really fed up. I've got put two
23:51
Speaker 2: lots of poisoned down. It's taken the poison and it's
23:55
Speaker 2: taking the mickey because it's still alive. If you're giving
23:58
Speaker 2: it a name though, that's the important thing. I called
24:00
Speaker 2: it you before I called because of this song is
24:05
Speaker 2: ritt in the Kitchen. We'll be back after this you
24:20
Speaker 2: before then Rat. Anyway, back to Seasiders Radio and we
24:24
Speaker 2: we commentate, if you didn't know, every home game, every
24:28
Speaker 2: away game. We cover folks in the Victor Football Club
24:31
Speaker 2: and we obviously like to bring an unbiased commentary, not
24:38
Speaker 2: that the David chairman would think.
24:39
Speaker 3: That has a good clip that if you haven't seen it,
24:42
Speaker 3: go and look at that one. It's the first first
24:44
Speaker 3: interview he does, isn't it this season? The David chairman, Yeah,
24:47
Speaker 3: it was.
24:48
Speaker 2: It was so funny. I thought it was a good commentary.
24:51
Speaker 2: I thought I did well there. I thought I was
24:53
Speaker 2: restrained until we scored.
24:54
Speaker 3: I listened, took it back and like the any time,
24:55
Speaker 3: you can tell it's the folks and commentaries when we score,
24:58
Speaker 3: which is natural.
24:58
Speaker 2: I think of every country down the country, we try
25:03
Speaker 2: to be as independent as we possibly can. I mean,
25:05
Speaker 2: I know Saturday Dartford, you know city, you know how
25:10
Speaker 2: unbiased and how great it was. That was all down
25:13
Speaker 2: to you. Obviously because I wasn't there on the Saturday,
25:15
Speaker 2: that's probably why. But no, we try to give you
25:22
Speaker 2: outlook at the game. We can say what we see
25:24
Speaker 2: and we if we're playing rubbish, we'll tell you we're
25:27
Speaker 2: playing rubbish. And if we've done well and we've scored
25:29
Speaker 2: a good goal or good play set of play, we'll
25:33
Speaker 2: tell you.
25:33
Speaker 3: I was looking on the folks and Rick to fans
25:35
Speaker 3: for them, which is a whole whole don't even go
25:40
Speaker 3: there two hour episodes of that. But I was looking
25:43
Speaker 3: on there on the match Fred of Lewis, and of
25:46
Speaker 3: course there's a lot of people on there who listen
25:47
Speaker 3: to our commentary and didn't go. And I think what's
25:50
Speaker 3: fascinating about commentary is how different people can take different opinions.
25:53
Speaker 2: Of the game from what they've heard.
25:55
Speaker 3: Someone was on there saying we played wayfully according to
25:57
Speaker 3: the commentary, and someone's on there saying we played well
25:59
Speaker 3: when the goalkeeper has kept us in it, which I
26:02
Speaker 3: thought was my summary of the game.
26:04
Speaker 2: And yeah, considering Lewis gave their man as a match
26:09
Speaker 2: to their goalkeeper, and you know we give a man
26:12
Speaker 2: and a match as well when we gave it to
26:13
Speaker 2: our goalkeeper.
26:14
Speaker 3: So you know, I just found it interesting how people
26:18
Speaker 3: can get such different opins of the game from the
26:21
Speaker 3: same commentary.
26:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a bit of a nothing game, really,
26:24
Speaker 2: wasn't it. And it wasn't the most exciting game. Both
26:29
Speaker 2: teams were happy with the point. I think from midway onwards.
26:33
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I think we'd have gone in not
26:35
Speaker 3: looking for a point, but I think we'd have been
26:37
Speaker 3: happy coming away over point, whereas at the start of
26:39
Speaker 3: the game Lewis probably would have wanted free. But yeah,
26:42
Speaker 3: as the game continued, we had some great chances, don't
26:46
Speaker 3: Yeah name mistake about that.
26:48
Speaker 2: He's a team could have won, couldn't they. I mean
26:49
Speaker 2: with the chances they had and the goalkeepers were the
26:51
Speaker 2: best players on the pitch. Toby ball for Lewis fair player.
26:55
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's had another world like that
26:56
Speaker 3: this season, but that save with his dominant hand they
27:00
Speaker 3: the top of his head out the top corner.
27:01
Speaker 2: That was that was going in, wasn't it. That was?
27:04
Speaker 2: That was absolutely fantastic shot.
27:06
Speaker 3: And that was just one of the five or six
27:09
Speaker 3: excellent saves he pulled out to keep it. And of
27:13
Speaker 3: course Johnny Henley for Folks and we were a couple
27:15
Speaker 3: of really good one on one saves as well.
27:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did, and he kept us in the game.
27:20
Speaker 2: As we say, it could have been if he went
27:22
Speaker 2: for the goalkeepers won.
27:24
Speaker 3: And Jerry keeps saying we've got the best goalkeeper in
27:26
Speaker 3: the league, and I don't think Johnny's done anything to
27:29
Speaker 3: prove him wrong.
27:30
Speaker 2: So no, I just don't think we score enough goals
27:32
Speaker 2: at the moment.
27:33
Speaker 5: No.
27:33
Speaker 3: And it's sort of frustrating, isn't it, Because I think
27:37
Speaker 3: we were saying all over the form on the start
27:39
Speaker 3: of the season there was going to be a team
27:41
Speaker 3: on the end of the battering, and then that came
27:44
Speaker 3: against and we thought, well, hey, here we go the
27:49
Speaker 3: kickstart we needed, and then it's sort of just there's
27:52
Speaker 3: goals in the team. You're looking at Dan Smith, Mattias
27:55
Speaker 3: Fanamo and these players, but are scoring goals in other
27:59
Speaker 3: leagues and well last season as well.
28:01
Speaker 2: But I don't know what's missing. Yeah, it's I think
28:07
Speaker 2: injuries and suspensions have killed as the early part of
28:10
Speaker 2: the season. It's no no secret that disciplined was very,
28:17
Speaker 2: very poor at the start of the season. We've we're
28:21
Speaker 2: saying referees weren't the best and they could have probably
28:25
Speaker 2: keep their cards in their pocket for a little bit.
28:28
Speaker 2: But you know, if you're a you're not professional, you're
28:33
Speaker 2: semi professional. You've got to stay on the pitch.
28:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's a fine line, isn't it, between ill
28:41
Speaker 3: disciplined and being unlucky. I think the only sending off
28:46
Speaker 3: I can think of the top of my head, which
28:49
Speaker 3: we looked at and both said sending off was at
28:55
Speaker 3: Apart from that, I think players could have counted themselves
28:58
Speaker 3: a little bit unlucky. But then on the other hand,
29:01
Speaker 3: they all knew how referees were refereeing it from game
29:04
Speaker 3: one and two this season of how harsh it was.
29:07
Speaker 2: Classic example we're talking about, obviously was seaside this radio
29:14
Speaker 2: doing that we sponsor a player, we sponsor Tom Derry
29:16
Speaker 2: Tinder's number one, Tinder's number one, the sexiest sexiest footballer
29:20
Speaker 2: in the Samian Premier League or if not the football league.
29:22
Speaker 2: That's true.
29:23
Speaker 3: By the way, there's an article he was number one,
29:25
Speaker 3: number one swiped on Tinder Tom Derry a couple of
29:28
Speaker 3: years ago. So that's not just our opinion, that's that
29:30
Speaker 3: is the world's opinion.
29:31
Speaker 2: In fact, he got sent off earlier for playing Piggy
29:34
Speaker 2: in the middle. I mean, how stupid was that?
29:38
Speaker 3: That was our friend Kane Dens today, wasn't it. And
29:40
Speaker 3: I love Kane honestly I do. He is my favorite
29:44
Speaker 3: referee because if the games are nothing game, you are
29:48
Speaker 3: going to get some entertay from it.
29:49
Speaker 2: You really are like ishm referees.
29:53
Speaker 3: They like to have make the game about themselves, don't they.
29:56
Speaker 3: I love referees, I absolutely love it, and I know
30:00
Speaker 3: managers don't. But if it needs a spark, you're always
30:04
Speaker 3: going to get you are always going to get it.
30:06
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was interesting, wasn't it.
30:08
Speaker 3: I remember talking to Tom I think game into his
30:11
Speaker 3: suspension again when when we were at Chichester and he
30:15
Speaker 3: was just he was saying one of his friends was
30:17
Speaker 3: the guy who was playing it over his head and
30:20
Speaker 3: they were just keeping the ball one touch and Tom
30:23
Speaker 3: went to get the ball because they wanted to obviously
30:26
Speaker 3: restart the game and a free kick and the goalkeeper
30:28
Speaker 3: kicked it over his head, and then of course he
30:30
Speaker 3: turns around to his friends and he said he was thinking,
30:34
Speaker 3: surely he's not going to kick it over my head again,
30:36
Speaker 3: and he went over and of course the ball goes
30:38
Speaker 3: back over Tom's head. So he's gone turn around again
30:41
Speaker 3: trying and go to the goalkeeper and try and take
30:43
Speaker 3: the ball off him.
30:44
Speaker 2: And I don't think he touches him. I have to
30:48
Speaker 2: say their opinion and it went, It did go, but
30:54
Speaker 2: it did go very very viral, he did. Yeah, it
30:56
Speaker 2: was on media channels and everything wasn't it was talk
31:00
Speaker 2: sport as well. Yeah, yeah, but good publicity full of
31:04
Speaker 2: club as well.
31:05
Speaker 3: Yeah maybe as a saying, isn't there any publicity is good?
31:09
Speaker 3: But yeah, I did feel sorry for him, but and
31:13
Speaker 3: it's his first of a red card in his career
31:15
Speaker 3: as well. Talking to tit family as well, which it
31:19
Speaker 3: must have been frustrating because you can see what he
31:22
Speaker 3: was trying to do, just didn't quite get it right.
31:25
Speaker 2: No, but you know that that sort of thing, that's
31:29
Speaker 2: what's happened to us all season, and that we've been
31:31
Speaker 2: of course another suspension and they don't get eight minutes
31:36
Speaker 2: on the pitch and subsequently our results have been indifferent.
31:41
Speaker 2: Share we say, but we I mean, we look where
31:43
Speaker 2: we are at the moment. We're fifteenth in the league.
31:46
Speaker 2: We're just four points behind the playoffs. But then again,
31:49
Speaker 2: if you look on the other hand, I think it's
31:51
Speaker 2: seven points for relegation, so we're sort of like in
31:55
Speaker 2: the middle. Now. We really need to kick on now,
31:58
Speaker 2: starting from today. I think we were looking at it
32:00
Speaker 2: at the Boxy Do Well. We was looking at the
32:03
Speaker 2: fixtures coming up and these are four or five games
32:06
Speaker 2: that we can definitely win, all winnable games. I'm just
32:12
Speaker 2: getting it up now.
32:13
Speaker 3: But I think people have to have to remember that
32:17
Speaker 3: we've had a tough run of injuries and suspensions and
32:20
Speaker 3: I think it was very very harsh.
32:22
Speaker 2: People call him for the sacond of the manager. I
32:24
Speaker 2: really do.
32:25
Speaker 3: And he's assembled a really good squad and it's it's
32:30
Speaker 3: just about now. It is cunch time for him now
32:33
Speaker 3: and he's got to go on a run of games.
32:35
Speaker 3: You're just saying wing Gate today and then after that
32:37
Speaker 3: suddenly we're playing teams at the bottom end of the table. Hastings,
32:40
Speaker 3: it's going to be a tough game, or be at
32:41
Speaker 3: a local derby. But after that you're going away to
32:44
Speaker 3: Boos who are in the relegation zone, chess Hunt who
32:46
Speaker 3: in the relegation zone. Dullitt, you haven't kicked on Canvy
32:49
Speaker 3: who are bottom end of the table. That's the run
32:51
Speaker 3: of games. But really to be getting good now if we're.
32:55
Speaker 2: Going to get into the playoffs this year, because I
32:57
Speaker 2: don't think winning the league now he's going to be
32:59
Speaker 2: is beyond. But if we can get into the playoffs,
33:04
Speaker 2: these are those are the four or five games we
33:06
Speaker 2: really need to be winning or not losing. You know.
33:09
Speaker 2: Definitely win the home games and maybe may drop a
33:12
Speaker 2: point here or there away from home, which is to
33:14
Speaker 2: be expected. But yeah, I think now, especially starting today,
33:19
Speaker 2: especially with the game that we had against wing Gate
33:21
Speaker 2: and Finchley earlier in the season when it all ended
33:23
Speaker 2: in a little bit of a farce, Yeah, we need
33:26
Speaker 2: to we need to kick on today and get some
33:29
Speaker 2: get the points. I don't think Andy Drude is a
33:31
Speaker 2: team talk today. I think I don't think so either.
33:33
Speaker 2: I think you know, that's that's team talk enough.
33:37
Speaker 3: I think the only problem for folks now the playoffs
33:40
Speaker 3: is it's that fifth playoff spot, isn't it.
33:42
Speaker 2: The top four? Top four seem to be pulling away,
33:45
Speaker 2: don't they.
33:47
Speaker 3: There's five or six teams are all looking at that
33:49
Speaker 3: that fifth fifth places.
33:52
Speaker 2: It's going to be tough, but we've we have got
33:55
Speaker 2: the players to do it.
33:56
Speaker 5: Yeah.
33:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's what I think people are forgetting where
34:00
Speaker 3: some of the performances haven't been great. Jack Jebb's a
34:03
Speaker 3: big missed in the middle of the park, but he
34:05
Speaker 3: was He was back Boxing day, wasn't he. So hopefully
34:07
Speaker 3: he's back now for the rest of the year. Hopefully
34:09
Speaker 3: he won't get injured again. When he seems to get injured.
34:12
Speaker 3: We don't We're not. We're not the same team without him.
34:16
Speaker 3: And the other thing with Jack Joe coming back in
34:20
Speaker 3: looking at that bench on Saturday, I think that's the
34:22
Speaker 3: strongest bench I've seen from a focusing team for a
34:24
Speaker 3: long time, and that includes nil Ugly era.
34:27
Speaker 2: Even with the quality and caliber of the players on there. Yeah,
34:31
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at all the players they even
34:34
Speaker 2: like you say, even the substitutes they could come on
34:36
Speaker 2: and they were probably starting most other teams, so but
34:40
Speaker 2: you were, especially at home, we've we've really disappointed our
34:45
Speaker 2: own fans at home of this season, I think, and.
34:48
Speaker 3: I think the big thing about it is the pitch
34:51
Speaker 3: still and unfortunately it is still a talking point. Obviously
34:55
Speaker 3: there's that application and scheming to get the free GI pitch,
34:58
Speaker 3: which would be massive for the club and as well
35:00
Speaker 3: as the first team, but you can't play the football
35:03
Speaker 3: that I think Andy Drury wants to play on our
35:07
Speaker 3: pitch at the moment.
35:09
Speaker 2: No, it's but you know, we looked at Lewis's pitch.
35:13
Speaker 2: That's a grass pitch on boxing day. Fantastic surface. I know,
35:17
Speaker 2: it's sort of like free G grass hybrid. That's it.
35:22
Speaker 2: That's the word I was looking for. So you know,
35:26
Speaker 2: it can be done without going the full length with
35:30
Speaker 2: the four G pitch. But yeah, I think that's the
35:34
Speaker 2: way forward in most of these teams now, especially non
35:37
Speaker 2: league to obviously, you know, bring the extre incomeing and
35:40
Speaker 2: other people using the pitcher to times when the first
35:44
Speaker 2: team aren't. Lewis's problem though, it's a fascinating one.
35:47
Speaker 3: They play really good football, don't they they do play
35:49
Speaker 3: some really good possession football. They haven't won away in
35:52
Speaker 3: three months really, which is incredible because their their surface
35:57
Speaker 3: and you can see it. Someone the pitched in Ishmaig
36:00
Speaker 3: White Hawk for example.
36:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bit like the Palo ground when it's
36:05
Speaker 2: when it's rained, it's at the cobbmar Wasn't it lazy?
36:08
Speaker 2: You haven't been to Whitehawk, which I'm assuming a lot
36:09
Speaker 2: of people have. Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it.
36:12
Speaker 3: It's literally a slope from one end of the pitch
36:15
Speaker 3: to the other, and it's literally two games of football,
36:17
Speaker 3: two halves of football.
36:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely kicking yeah, and that well, it really amazes
36:24
Speaker 2: me with Whitehawk. I don't sorry to single Whitehawk out,
36:27
Speaker 2: but they were in the National League South not so
36:30
Speaker 2: long ago and you look at their ground and you're thinking,
36:32
Speaker 2: how the hell did they get into the National self
36:35
Speaker 2: with that ground? I mean, surely, my aunt, if you're
36:38
Speaker 2: listening to Shirley good Morning, Good morning, she had to
36:43
Speaker 2: be lifted in by two burly Whitehawk supporters into the
36:48
Speaker 2: toilet because she can get a wheelchair into the disabled
36:52
Speaker 2: toilet because it had a step going up into it.
36:54
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just crazy. In this day and age.
36:59
Speaker 2: It's the only thing there's no there's no roofs, understand.
37:06
Speaker 3: It's literally I'm sure people have seen the temporary stand
37:10
Speaker 3: in quotation marks. It's four of them, pretty much, apart
37:13
Speaker 3: from maybe the media stand, but apart from then, the
37:16
Speaker 3: two other stands.
37:17
Speaker 2: Are it's it's all scaffolding you. And they obviously had
37:20
Speaker 2: to have them in because they have to have a
37:22
Speaker 2: certain number of seats to get into the But that's
37:26
Speaker 2: another story, and we don't we don't want to kick
37:27
Speaker 2: going on about white Walk. We've hours nearly up, Charlie,
37:31
Speaker 2: We've only got seven minutes left. I'm about have to
37:34
Speaker 2: play another quick one because this is a Christmas one.

40:11
Speaker 2: of a match on Boxing Dome. We have to go
40:13
Speaker 2: way down to Lewis and like you saying earlier on Tuesday,
40:16
Speaker 2: we have to go away down to Horsham. But these
40:19
Speaker 2: you know, these things happen. We we know what league
40:21
Speaker 2: we're in and we know we have to do it
40:22
Speaker 2: home in a way, so we do. We do that
40:26

40:50
Speaker 2: little bits and pieces we've got in the pipeline that

Speaker 2: we might like to have. But yeah, yeah, they have
40:55
Speaker 2: been very very forthcoming, and we haven't had sponsor as well,
