0:00:00 > 0:00:10Snow and frost have plagued football for year, but two of our
0:00:10 > 0:00:21
0:00:21 > 0:00:25teams might have found a solution. Coming up in tonight's programme.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Primed for the Premier League. Rating Blackpool and Burnley's
0:00:29 > 0:00:33promotion pedigree. Pitch battled. How can our clubs keep the weather
0:00:33 > 0:00:38at bay? We can working hours and at the end of the day the weather can
0:00:38 > 0:00:46override any effort you do. what was the question that left
0:00:46 > 0:00:51this Crewe two in a flap? Don't miss that later on. With me tonight
0:00:51 > 0:00:55former Preston boss Phil Brown and the man in charge at Morecambe Jim
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Bentley. Thank you for coming. Both of them have been there before but
0:01:00 > 0:01:03what will the chances of Blackpool or Burnley or both being back in
0:01:03 > 0:01:07the Premier League next season. They are in the promotion mix but
0:01:07 > 0:01:17who is better placed to make a serious move? We have cameras with
0:01:17 > 0:01:27
0:01:27 > 0:01:32both teams at the beecked to have points and two places on the table.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Separated these two teams. But who is better placed for a play off
0:01:35 > 0:01:39is better placed for a play off push?. I think we are inconsistent
0:01:39 > 0:01:46at the moment. Like today we don't know which Burnley team will turn
0:01:46 > 0:01:51up. You come down, particularly at home we have been hit-and-miss.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55long as we avoid our January, February slump we will do well.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00are not too bad. Whether we make the play-offs who knows. We need to
0:02:00 > 0:02:04have a run where we can win the next four or five out of seven, be
0:02:04 > 0:02:10in that top six and hopefully try and get that second spot at the end
0:02:10 > 0:02:16of the season. Three more points and we avoid relegation, so we will,
0:02:16 > 0:02:21which comeing from Blackpool, that is our main priority, to stay in
0:02:21 > 0:02:25the division. In the team we want more fight up front. That showed
0:02:25 > 0:02:31the other night. Hopefully no injury, and we will be in there
0:02:31 > 0:02:35with a shout. But here in the snowy Cardiff what are the professionals
0:02:35 > 0:02:41saying about the club's chances? Both clubs have 28 games played,
0:02:41 > 0:02:46they have 18 games remaining and before kick off, the bookies put
0:02:46 > 0:02:50odds of 7-1 for promotion for Blackpool and 9-1 for Burnley. Not
0:02:50 > 0:02:57much in it then. Given the weekend's weather the odds should
0:02:57 > 0:03:01have been would any of these games go ahead? But despite the list of
0:03:02 > 0:03:07postponements Blackpool and Burnley were given the all clear. Blackpool
0:03:07 > 0:03:12came into this game against Cardiff with five wins from their last ten
0:03:12 > 0:03:16league games be their lower placing in the table didn't affect their
0:03:16 > 0:03:22performance. Despite Cardiff's Joe Mason scoring first against the run
0:03:22 > 0:03:30Mason scoring first against the run of play Blackpool remained calm. It
0:03:30 > 0:03:34was super sub Kevin Philips who levelled things up with this volley.
0:03:34 > 0:03:41And then it was the other Philips who put the Seasiders ahead four
0:03:41 > 0:03:47minutes later. And securing the three points and making the
0:03:47 > 0:03:55travelling Blackpool fans very happy indeed, Matt Philips drove
0:03:55 > 0:03:57home for his second. The away win home for his second. The away win
0:03:57 > 0:04:03moves them to fourth in the table. The team is growing in belief and
0:04:03 > 0:04:10confidence. It is growing in togetherness, and you know, we are
0:04:10 > 0:04:13having a better 2012 than we did 2011. Elsewhere at Turf Moor
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Burnley welcomed Peterborough and the Clarets were on a good run of
0:04:18 > 0:04:23seven wins from ten. But in the first half Peterborough seemed to
0:04:23 > 0:04:28adapt better to conditions after a defensive mix up Taylor put the
0:04:28 > 0:04:32defensive mix up Taylor put the visitors ahead. Burnley merged in
0:04:32 > 0:04:36the second half a more composed outfit. Sustained pressure paid off
0:04:36 > 0:04:46and four minutes from time it was Rodriguez who levelled things up
0:04:46 > 0:04:51
0:04:51 > 0:04:55The home draw drops Burnley from ninth to 11th in the table..
0:04:55 > 0:04:59felt we deserved to win the game. With the way we have been playing,
0:04:59 > 0:05:04we wanted to continue that form, but unfortunately, it didn't quite
0:05:04 > 0:05:09happen today. You know, the main thing was we didn't lose either.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Both Tams capable, I would say, both teams have got big stars in
0:05:12 > 0:05:18the making. Matt Philips and Rodriguez. Let us look at the table
0:05:18 > 0:05:22to see where they stand. Looking at that what do you say to both teams'
0:05:22 > 0:05:25prospects? You are looking at Blackpool, that result against
0:05:25 > 0:05:31Cardiff City. Cardiff are having a fabulous season and Blackpool to go
0:05:31 > 0:05:36there, and not just win the game but win it comfortably. When the
0:05:36 > 0:05:39third goal goes in everybody breathes a sigh of relief. Ian
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Holloway believes in his players and his confidence, it grows during
0:05:43 > 0:05:47the course of the season. There is a lot of football to be played.
0:05:47 > 0:05:53They are not far off automatic, because West Ham and Southampton
0:05:53 > 0:05:57keep slipping up I have spoke to Sam on a number of occasion, they
0:05:57 > 0:06:01had a fantastic result against Millwall, down to ten men but they
0:06:01 > 0:06:05got a win that, would be fantastic and probably West Ham will push on.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10But Southampton are catchable and car div are catchable. So it is
0:06:10 > 0:06:15automatic for me. Let u us look at Burnley. We have not taken all of
0:06:15 > 0:06:19the fixture, here are the key ones. When you look at that it will be a
0:06:19 > 0:06:23defining period. That is right. It is in their hands, they have
0:06:23 > 0:06:28slipped up at home on Saturday, but looking at the run of fixture, they
0:06:28 > 0:06:32have some tough game, but if they get through that, period, with some
0:06:32 > 0:06:36good positive result, they will fancy their chances of getting in
0:06:36 > 0:06:43themselves. As the fans were alluding to, it is odd with Burnley,
0:06:43 > 0:06:49they have drawn five and lost five but won eight on the road. How do
0:06:49 > 0:06:53you turn that round? We are similar ourselves at Morecambe. We are
0:06:53 > 0:06:57decent away from home, but home, we haven't really got going. Burnley
0:06:57 > 0:07:02seem to be suffering as well. Looking at the fixtures there, if
0:07:02 > 0:07:08they can beat, come out of that they will fancy their chances.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13us look at Blackpool's run in. Where ever they are towards the end
0:07:13 > 0:07:17of the season. Four tough games. I know Millwall are fighting off
0:07:17 > 0:07:22relegation, that could be a key factor. I think Burnley might get
0:07:22 > 0:07:25in the play-offs and I am looking at Blackpool automatic. Both sides
0:07:25 > 0:07:31have experienced Premier League football of late, you know, as near
0:07:31 > 0:07:35as two or three years ago and both boards of directors, player,
0:07:35 > 0:07:39supporters will be desperate to get back there. Only one more of our
0:07:39 > 0:07:44teams managed to get their game in because of the weather. That was
0:07:44 > 0:07:49transmere away to Wycombe. Like in their last two away games they took
0:07:49 > 0:07:55their last two away games they took an early lead but let it slip.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00McGuirk's cracker put them ahead. They held the lead for 18 minutes
0:08:00 > 0:08:06when Matty Whichelow headed home. Owain Fon Williams made a great
0:08:06 > 0:08:11save but it was all in vain. Les Parry's side twice hit the woodwork
0:08:11 > 0:08:15but it wasn't to be and it is seven but it wasn't to be and it is seven
0:08:15 > 0:08:19league games without a win. There is not too much movement in the
0:08:19 > 0:08:26table because most of the games fell foul of the freeze. The rest
0:08:26 > 0:08:29of the sides reside in the bottom. Transmere, Preston next Saturday is
0:08:29 > 0:08:33an increasingly important game for both teams. Phil, talking of press
0:08:33 > 0:08:38torpbgs let us reflect on your time there. You have had tiement to
0:08:38 > 0:08:43personally reflect now. How do you look back on the decision?
0:08:43 > 0:08:48accept it, of course, where management is concerned. You accept
0:08:48 > 0:08:53the fact that they came out with the statistics we won one game in
0:08:53 > 0:09:0111 and we are out of all three cup competition. Probably the straw
0:09:01 > 0:09:07that broke the camel's back was the defeat in the semifinal in the
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Johnston's paint. Were you shocked? I was leading up to it. Mr Ridsdale
0:09:10 > 0:09:15had been to Hartlepool and which won that in terrible condition,
0:09:15 > 0:09:20wind, rain, snow you name it but the players put their body tons
0:09:20 > 0:09:24line and centre halves headed the ball, Neil Mellor sticks the ball
0:09:24 > 0:09:30in the back of the net and we won 1-0. You think that has got it back
0:09:30 > 0:09:36on track. So when that call came in, what was your reaction? Obviously
0:09:36 > 0:09:39one of disappointment. I got the call saying he wanted a catch up.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Obviously I went to a game the night before, I think I went to
0:09:43 > 0:09:49Oldham the night before and had a look at one or two players and the
0:09:49 > 0:09:54youth cup was the night before, and Brian Horton had been to that game
0:09:54 > 0:09:57and he wanted to catch up on one of the youth player, but when he
0:09:57 > 0:10:01issued the bad new, it is always going to shock. Talking of the
0:10:01 > 0:10:07chairman, he said in the local paper at the weekend, "It became
0:10:07 > 0:10:12clear unless we made a change the discipline, fitness and the things
0:10:12 > 0:10:18that make you win weren't in place." Do you recognise any of
0:10:18 > 0:10:23that from the team you left behind. It saddens me that you get some
0:10:23 > 0:10:27kind of remark that reflects badly on the previous manager. If you are
0:10:27 > 0:10:32going to move on or get rid of a manager you move on in your mind
0:10:32 > 0:10:37and you get sosm some closure, as far as I'm concerned it keeps on
0:10:37 > 0:10:41coming back to haunt me. I am not alrowed to defend myself because of
0:10:41 > 0:10:44the compromise agreement. At the same time I could produce
0:10:44 > 0:10:49statistics that wouldn't astound you, I have Premier League
0:10:49 > 0:10:53statistic, and I am bearing back to my days at Bolton with Sam
0:10:53 > 0:10:59Allardyce, when we were in the championship we had a body fat
0:10:59 > 0:11:04content of 12% N the Premier League we desighed -- decided to get it
0:11:04 > 0:11:09down 10 pefrplts at Preston North End our body fat as a group was 10%.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13People say what has that got to do with fitness. I think that shows
0:11:13 > 0:11:20the players behind the scenes, professionalism comes from behind
0:11:21 > 0:11:24the scene, I think behind the scenes we were doing su. We did
0:11:24 > 0:11:30exercise, we had people coming in to give the players what they need.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35It comes down players and we lost our best three. What about
0:11:35 > 0:11:43discipline? I can't understand that. I have Brian Horton who was in
0:11:43 > 0:11:46charge of the discipline side of the changing room, and and if
0:11:46 > 0:11:50anything was needed to be brought to the manager's attention it would
0:11:50 > 0:11:54have been. Must ask you before we leave this section what is
0:11:54 > 0:11:59happening for you next? You guys are keeping me in clover at the
0:11:59 > 0:12:04moment, I am doing a lot of media work. You are wearing more make up
0:12:04 > 0:12:08than tracksuits! It is when it comes round, Leeds United have lost
0:12:08 > 0:12:12their manager. That is what you are waiting for a club with a bit of
0:12:12 > 0:12:22ambition, a bit of track record and a chance to take itself and you to
0:12:22 > 0:12:23
0:12:23 > 0:12:28the next level. It goes without It wasn't really a big freeze but
0:12:28 > 0:12:32it was a bad one over at the weekend. Only one football league
0:12:32 > 0:12:37game be be conditions in the north- west. As well as the inconvenience
0:12:37 > 0:12:44of having games called off there is a financial price to play. We have
0:12:44 > 0:12:47been looking at two clubs' efforts to cope with the climate.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Three of our featured Football League tomorrow -- matches have
0:12:50 > 0:12:54been called off due to frozen pitches...
0:12:54 > 0:12:58This weekend's pictures have been decimated by the weather...
0:12:58 > 0:13:08This time of year, we tend to get bad weather. As we all know, bad
0:13:08 > 0:13:16
0:13:16 > 0:13:19weather ruins everything. A bed of bad weather and everything
0:13:19 > 0:13:22is spoiled, from the goals that never were to the matches that
0:13:22 > 0:13:27started but never finished, and those that were realistic never
0:13:27 > 0:13:32going to take place. -- realistically. If you lose a game
0:13:32 > 0:13:37on a Saturday and you have to play it midweek to revenue will go down.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Probably a quarter and a third. If you go on from that, if you get in
0:13:42 > 0:13:48a later call on a match-day morning, you have called in to the referee
0:13:48 > 0:13:54but have had a team travel, if the game goes off and they have already
0:13:54 > 0:13:57travelled you get hit with their hotel costs and coach costs. If you
0:13:57 > 0:14:04get Abereiddy late shirt and you have got people in the ground, you
0:14:04 > 0:14:14have got staff costs and all associated costs. -- it really laid
0:14:14 > 0:14:17
0:14:17 > 0:14:21shirt. The person most part upon a the groundsman. -- most put upon.
0:14:21 > 0:14:31The wearer can override any ever you do and a game can still be
0:14:31 > 0:14:31
0:14:31 > 0:14:35called off. It really does wear you down. Rochdale have spent �50,000
0:14:35 > 0:14:41on page maintenance in the last two seasons. Their last �25,000 in
0:14:41 > 0:14:47costs through having to postpone matches. They have looked at state-
0:14:47 > 0:14:51of-the-art pitch covers but they're too expensive. More affordable at
0:14:51 > 0:14:55around �70,000 is this cover, which allows hot air to circulate
0:14:55 > 0:14:59underneath. What about getting rid of the grass altogether? All the
0:14:59 > 0:15:03more athletic and Preston were among the select group of clubs to
0:15:03 > 0:15:08use plastic pitches in the 1980s and 1990s. A hard surface was
0:15:08 > 0:15:12blamed for injuries and players did not like playing on it. 20 years on,
0:15:12 > 0:15:16things have moved on. New generation pitches like this are
0:15:16 > 0:15:22used each week by amateur footballers across the north-west
0:15:22 > 0:15:28and many elite sides trained on them. International matches have
0:15:28 > 0:15:33been played on similar services and they could be used in the Football
0:15:33 > 0:15:38League if clubs like Accrington Stanley get their way. You can't
0:15:38 > 0:15:48use it literally seven days a week. You do not have to worry that the
0:15:48 > 0:15:48
0:15:48 > 0:15:56rain will have an undue effect. Accrington's annual turnover is 1.5
0:15:56 > 0:16:00million. They spent �120,000 on the pitch in the last two years as well
0:16:00 > 0:16:07as 20,000 on maintenance costs. At 100,000 on paying for somewhere to
0:16:07 > 0:16:10train. We could have the community using it. We could hire it out in
0:16:10 > 0:16:14the evenings. You are bringing money in through red and getting
0:16:14 > 0:16:18other people who are coming to the Football Club seven days a week,
0:16:18 > 0:16:24using the facilities and they feel involved. It puts us at the heart
0:16:24 > 0:16:29of the community. Which is exactly what Super League new boys, Widnes
0:16:29 > 0:16:34Vikings, are putting into practice with their recently in stoppage. It
0:16:34 > 0:16:38is the first of its kind in the rugby league. Installing it cost
0:16:38 > 0:16:43half a million pounds, which the club plans to repay with hemp --
0:16:43 > 0:16:48revenue by hiring it out. There is much less of players getting
0:16:48 > 0:16:53injured. If there is enough demand in the Football League then it
0:16:53 > 0:17:00would go to a vote and we could see them introduced may be in the next
0:17:00 > 0:17:10the years. I once scored our Preston page. It was a lucky bounce
0:17:10 > 0:17:11
0:17:11 > 0:17:15off my Leappad! Are you a fan of artificial pitches? I have played
0:17:15 > 0:17:23on the pitch is back in those days. They were rock-hard and full of
0:17:23 > 0:17:28sand and people got injured. With time, they have moved on. They are
0:17:29 > 0:17:34not bad. You can't beat a good grass pitch, for me. You haven't
0:17:34 > 0:17:43seen a grass pitch for six weeks in training. It must be appealing to
0:17:43 > 0:17:50delight of Morecambe? We are quite lucky, we have got a 3G and eight
0:17:50 > 0:17:544G. We have got a good choice. As the weather comes, we have seen
0:17:54 > 0:18:00with the frost over the last couple of weeks and with the rain, we have
0:18:00 > 0:18:05been fortunate that we can get on grass. I can understand people
0:18:05 > 0:18:11calling for the pictures to be artificial. Yes or no, are you a
0:18:11 > 0:18:15fan? For training, yes, but first team pitches should be grass.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19trainer could also have a say tomorrow night with a pitch
0:18:19 > 0:18:25inspection planned to see whether all them's game away to Stevenage
0:18:25 > 0:18:29will go ahead. Nothing like that anticipated at Hillsborough. If big
0:18:29 > 0:18:32games go-ahead you will get all of the action and news on your BBC
0:18:32 > 0:18:38local radio station. -- if the Games.
0:18:38 > 0:18:45I have been looking forward to this. Last week on our football quiz, but
0:18:45 > 0:18:55Tranmere pair did their club proud. This week it is my turn of Crewe
0:18:55 > 0:18:57
0:18:57 > 0:19:06Alexandra. Using our aubergine buzzer is a part-time model...
0:19:06 > 0:19:16Their quizmaster is, as ever, Gordon Burns.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19
0:19:19 > 0:19:29What is the capital of Germany? Munich. That was me! Frankfurt.
0:19:29 > 0:19:45
0:19:45 > 0:19:55don't know. I've got this... Hamburg. Berlin! Berlin! Berlin!
0:19:55 > 0:20:00
0:20:00 > 0:20:10That was me! What is a 47 minus 22? 25. What is the currency in Ireland.
0:20:10 > 0:20:18
0:20:18 > 0:20:27Euro. What is the name given to a BBC One? -- a baby swan. ABB's 1? -
0:20:27 > 0:20:37- a baby so on? I know this, you know. General knowledge is not my
0:20:37 > 0:20:42
0:20:42 > 0:20:52strength. Eight dock. -- add dark. Vegas. -- I do so. I'm just

0:20:53 > 0:21:03guessing animals. That is stupid. cigarette. I have never heard that.
0:21:03 > 0:21:13Who presents take me out? Paddy McGuinness. What was the name of
0:21:13 > 0:21:14
0:21:14 > 0:21:24the Spice girls from? Spice movie? Spice Up Your Life? Don't know. The
0:21:24 > 0:21:31
0:21:31 > 0:21:41Spice girls on tour. Do you know this? I have never listened to the
0:21:41 > 0:21:50
0:21:50 > 0:21:59Spice girls. You know all of the Spice girls songs. I was close.
0:21:59 > 0:22:09That was the best one yet. As the ball farms, you now understands why
0:22:09 > 0:22:09
0:22:09 > 0:22:14it happens. -- as football fans. That is good for morale, for
0:22:14 > 0:22:18players to have a bit of a go at each other? Are a bit of a double
0:22:18 > 0:22:24act there! They will take some stick tomorrow but there are a few
0:22:24 > 0:22:28in every dressing room. It is a good laugh and good humour. Let's
0:22:28 > 0:22:35talk about Morecambe. Last time I saw you I had come to more come to
0:22:35 > 0:22:40do for you -- to interview. You are in 14th at the table at the minute.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45What has changed? At we have had a tough time. We started really well
0:22:45 > 0:22:49and got off to a great start. Expectation levels were high but,
0:22:49 > 0:22:54basically, we haven't been good enough over the last couple of
0:22:54 > 0:22:58weeks. Disappointed over missing a few games recently. We are doing
0:22:58 > 0:23:04all right. Lee Feeney have improved as a squat. We are going in the
0:23:04 > 0:23:10right direction. -- with the we have improved as a squat. We are in
0:23:10 > 0:23:14a position where we are going to have aspirations. Because you have
0:23:14 > 0:23:18been at the top everyone brings you should still be up there. There
0:23:18 > 0:23:27were some big sides are at their. We played them pre-season and one
0:23:27 > 0:23:33of during -- and during the season. The camaraderie and the local
0:23:33 > 0:23:37rivalry, everything about the two games was first class. We pushed on
0:23:37 > 0:23:47and got second in the lead. It rubbed off on the area, everyone
0:23:47 > 0:23:48
0:23:48 > 0:23:54was playing well. Does my new ground place factor here? Are you
0:23:54 > 0:24:00settling in? People are constantly moving to new grounds. It takes
0:24:00 > 0:24:06times to get used to them. -- takes time. At home, we have not been
0:24:06 > 0:24:12good enough. We have had a couple of good results. You have got to
0:24:12 > 0:24:20get you home form if you are going to do well in the season. That has
0:24:20 > 0:24:24been our downfall so far. Bristol Rovers next? We have played against
0:24:24 > 0:24:29teams this year with new managers and it gives them a boost. It will
0:24:29 > 0:24:37be a tough game. At the moment, away from home, we are not too bad.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And that will give you enough to push on. That is the plan. Back in
0:24:40 > 0:24:452010, we took a trip to the north- east with Preston North End youth
0:24:45 > 0:24:49team. They were in action at Sunderland and we wanted an insight
0:24:49 > 0:24:58into what life was like for the lads. We ended up in an amazing
0:24:58 > 0:25:02game and a story we had to go back You will be looking at things like
0:25:02 > 0:25:07the movement from the corner. could tell this team were something
0:25:07 > 0:25:13special. We first saw them at Sunderland. Their character and
0:25:13 > 0:25:19fighting spirit summer when after a penalty shoot-out. Two years on,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23six of the starting 11 and 13 of the classic -- the class of 2010
0:25:23 > 0:25:28have got on to play in Preston's have got on to play in Preston's
0:25:28 > 0:25:38first team. Two of the first to make the grade were right and
0:25:38 > 0:25:39
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Proctor. Usually it is a big step. Where we were concerned, it was the
0:25:43 > 0:25:50youth team squad, into the first- team squad, but with quite a few of
0:25:50 > 0:25:56the lads from the youth team. all know how each other place so we
0:25:56 > 0:26:00played quite well together. You have got to mix with the first-team
0:26:00 > 0:26:05lads, but you have got your mates there as well. A did not lift the
0:26:05 > 0:26:11Cup in 2010 but they made their mark. -- they did not. The man who
0:26:11 > 0:26:18mentored them takes a keen interest in their progress. Every time may
0:26:18 > 0:26:22have touched the ball, you would think, do not touch that, and it is
0:26:22 > 0:26:28easier now. Clark is the last want to come through. You think, enjoy
0:26:28 > 0:26:32it. Proctor has made it was significant contribution. He has
0:26:32 > 0:26:38already passed and 30 appearances mark and has been on target three
0:26:38 > 0:26:41times this season. The standard is much greater in the first team. You
0:26:41 > 0:26:45are still with the large to have been playing with for a number of
0:26:45 > 0:26:52years. When you are playing in the reserves you are still with lads
0:26:52 > 0:26:56you have been playing wither. the class of 2010 may have spent
0:26:56 > 0:27:01high standards, will they vote -- ever be able to produce such a
0:27:01 > 0:27:09talented group again? You do not sit back on things. We think, can
0:27:09 > 0:27:12we get better, the same or better all the time? We have got players
0:27:12 > 0:27:16who are going to be as good, if not better in the future. If they get
0:27:16 > 0:27:26the chance, everything worked out, the future looks bright for
0:27:26 > 0:27:33That is a big credit to that set up. Is it a needs mastering a Preston,
0:27:33 > 0:27:38or are they about good? -- is it eight needs must think? When they
0:27:38 > 0:27:42were relegated, all of a sudden my budget was cut by a number of
0:27:42 > 0:27:46millions and the development squad, which I had probably about 10 or 12
0:27:46 > 0:27:55of the young lads, was becoming the thick end of my squad. They were
0:27:55 > 0:27:59already trading with the first team. It is great to see them there. When
0:27:59 > 0:28:08I lost my top three players, Proctor was then one of the top
0:28:08 > 0:28:12three. Hoyland, from stale, Harrison, they were the three that
0:28:13 > 0:28:22were looking after this group. They were like, figures, all three of
0:28:22 > 0:28:31them. My kids always went to them. You are hoping to bring one in at
