:16:38. > :16:43.held onto the key players and in spite of injuries the new sdnior
:16:44. > :16:51.players have been brought in. They aim to try for promotion ag`in. We
:16:52. > :16:59.want to be in the top six. There is so much competition from pl`ces like
:17:00. > :17:08.the Premier League squads. They are the favourites. We have to lake sure
:17:09. > :17:13.that we are ready for it. Wd did that Wembley trip that was so good

:18:28. > :18:31.at Birmingham last weekend. They have signed some more players. It
:18:32. > :18:34.could change again. I think both teams are heading into the tnknown
:18:35. > :18:41.and a little bit. A key plaxer is Andy Reid. He does not worrx about
:18:42. > :18:50.the public fallout between the manager and the owners. I think as a
:18:51. > :18:53.manager he expects to get a straight answer. He has given a strahght
:18:54. > :19:02.answer about what he has not. We are not surprised. It has been `n
:19:03. > :19:12.interesting week, but not one that diminishes the flame that is inside
:19:13. > :19:24.me to be successful. If this player can deliver, it will be an dmotional
:19:25. > :19:28.season. Nottingham County whll come out of this tunnel in big one,

:19:34. > :19:40.here now. How much are you looking forward to it? I am looking forward
:19:41. > :19:45.to it a lot. The preseason games serve a purpose, but they do not
:19:46. > :19:57.give you the intensity of a match day. I am looking forward to it It
:19:58. > :20:03.has been a busy summer. It has been very busy. Players coming in and
:20:04. > :20:10.out. Your first full season. I definitely have the squad that I

:20:46. > :20:48.`` in too short a time. Thank you. They will start the campaign
:20:49. > :20:56.tomorrow. We will be followhng it. That is how it looks at Nottingham
:20:57. > :21:05.County. Here, they had the first full campaign back in the ldague.
:21:06. > :21:14.What are your expectations this time? We need to be a littld bit
:21:15. > :21:19.more shrewd in the transfer market. Is there a real improvement in the
:21:20. > :21:27.squad? I think we have a better calibre of player. It is just about
:21:28. > :21:34.how quickly they acclimatisd. What a preseason you have had. There is a
:21:35. > :21:39.lot of buzz among our supporters at the moment. We had an open day the
:21:40. > :21:42.other day and it was very btsy. We just need to see how quicklx the
:21:43. > :21:49.younger players get to grips with it. Good luck tomorrow against
:21:50. > :21:56.Northampton and to all the teams over the next 46 games. That is how
:21:57. > :22:01.it is looking in the championship, League 1, and League 2. Full

:22:55. > :22:56.on our sofa a little earlier. And we asked him how he felt now
:22:57. > :23:03.his strenuous and dangerous It sounds difficult when yot put it
:23:04. > :23:10.like that. The challenge is over and I have achieved my dream. An
:23:11. > :23:15.incredible dream as well. What was the last section? It was from
:23:16. > :23:21.Ireland to Scotland. It is the hardest when in the world. H enjoyed
:23:22. > :23:31.it. I saw a lot of jellyfish, but I swam through them. Is it ond of the
:23:32. > :23:35.coldest oceans? Yes. It is the degrees cooler than the English
:23:36. > :23:41.Channel. And you do not havd a wet suit. The letters talk about the
:23:42. > :23:46.wonderful moment where a sh`rk came towards you and dolphins protected
:23:47. > :23:50.you. I had a pod of dolphins coming towards me, about 12 of thel, and
:23:51. > :24:05.there was a shark underneath me They protected me. You had ` huge
:24:06. > :24:11.shark beneath you? Yes. It was difficult, but I got through it How
