00:00James just a couple of days out from Wembley now, presumably you know
00:04it's been a good week of training since beating Yeovil on Monday and everyone's
00:08ready to go now? Yeah, we're all ready to go. A few things that needed to be sorted out this week and preparation is normal
00:17out on the training pitch so the excitement is starting to build, you can see it around the town, it should be a great day out.
00:25And the excitement in the town, 18,000 tickets sold, that's going to be really special to see all those fans in red and blue at Wembley on Sunday.
00:35Yeah it'll be great, we had a great turnout here for the Woking game, you could see what it meant to them, getting to Wembley and getting the chance to win some silverware.
00:44So hopefully we can go there and do the business, it'll be a tough game, just because there are a couple of leagues below us it'll still be a hard game and we'll go there hoping to win.
00:54Spennymore have had a great run, they've knocked out Rochdale, Southern, Boston, so they've shown their pedigree in this competition haven't they?
01:00Yeah it definitely is, you see it up and down the country, even in the FA Cup there's always shocks and we don't want that to happen at Wembley on the 11th.
01:10Presumably you've obviously been working and training about how you want to play and taking your game to them presumably, and obviously it is a historic day for the club, first time ever playing at Wembley and you're obviously aware of that but presumably you're trying to treat it like a normal game as well and not get too…
01:28Yeah I think you have to treat it as a normal game, you have to prepare right, you have to do your due diligence on them as a team and we've certainly done that this week and hopefully it will all come back to date on the pitch.
01:41And your sort of experience in the game as well, can you sort of help pass that on?
01:46Yeah definitely, I've said to the boys obviously I've been lucky enough to play there twice throughout my career already and unfortunately I lost both times and just sort of try to reiterate it's not as good a memory when you lose there so let's go there and try and win.
02:03Yeah I mean it's obviously memories getting there but it's a much better day isn't it obviously if you can.
02:09Yeah the actual day obviously it's still an unbelievable experience to play at the home of football and you know it's one that we shouldn't take for granted but you know it will certainly make the day even better if we can go there and win.
02:21Yeah and sort of build up now, travel up tomorrow, have a look around tomorrow presumably before Sunday?
02:27Yeah I think we're going up there just for a quick look around and you know that would be nice and then back to the hotel to rest up and you know prepare as normal for a game.
02:37Yeah and presumably all the lads are just sort of raring to go now really and just looking forward to it?
02:42Yeah I think so I think you could feel it after the last league game and the other day that sort of it was time for it now and you know the build up started to happen.
02:52You can feel the excitement building and at the same time we've got to try and keep that at bay until hopefully after the game.
03:00Bye.
