00:00Yeah, I think it's exactly that, really. I'm never going to change that view and our home stadium needs to be a fortress, like you said.
00:10And I think I always reference it. There's going to be some bad times, there's going to be some really, really good times.
00:17We're going to need these fans behind us more than ever, certainly in the bumps along the way, and we need to make this stadium a tough one.
00:26Cliché and maybe a bit cheesy, but it is the 12th man. I've been in the arena, I've played around it, I've been in the arena at them moments,
00:35and you don't realise how powerful them moments are when maybe you're just feeling a little bit down or a little bit leggy in certain moments.
00:44That voice and the stadium, what can get someone going, can give us a lift, what we need, and we're going to need every bit of that, like we have done, really.
00:53So, looking forward to going back now on Friday. I'm sure it'll be an amazing atmosphere against a good side.
01:00It's our job to entertain our fans. It's our job to give them the lift to get behind us in certain moments.
01:07What I will say is maybe there's a responsibility on them getting to us as well, because we'll always endeavour and we'll try our best.
01:16These players will always give absolutely everything. At the thought of maybe mistakes or just bad performances,
01:23you'll never be able to criticise this team or my team in terms of a general lack of effort or non-commitment,
01:29and absolutely give everything and leave everything on that pitch.
01:33We're in this together throughout this season, a long season ahead of us, and we're in this together.
01:39I include the fans, I include everyone at the organisation, and together, like I said before, we'll hopefully have a chance.
