00:00 You know what, even though the amount of times I've been asked that I still can't put it
00:07 into words and being here today with all, with basically the whole city out here to
00:09 celebrate both teams' success is absolutely surreal. To see how loud and supportive and
00:14 they're just on here cheering both teams is absolutely incredible and it's something I'll
00:17 never forget.
00:18 Please welcome Michael Reiser!
00:20 Yeah! Yeah, I can see it! Yeah!
00:28 And obviously this season you guys are so dominant. So do you picture that going on
00:33 at the start of the season, that you're good enough to go like that? Obviously, one for
00:36 the coach, one for the staff, but what are you doing?
00:38 No! Like, we knew with the calibre of players there, we have potential but honestly I've
00:45 been saying it whenever I've done any sort of interview and we just literally take each
00:48 game as it comes. We don't think far ahead, we don't think behind us. That whole week
00:52 leading up to the Sunday is that's all we focus on. We don't really look in, to and
00:56 around the points. Obviously you're aware of where you are and other things but it was
01:01 only something that was a dream to get here and something, yeah, like I said it's a dream
01:06 and I can't put it into words.
01:08 You guys have got really good team spirit as well. All the buses came in and there was
01:13 one bus that was giant and that was yours.
01:15 Yeah, no, look, honestly for all of us it's a dream and to think that we're going to go
01:20 hopefully fully professional next year, obviously contract dependent, but to think that we've
01:26 achieved it is, dreams are made of. Look, I'm 31 and when I started out I was playing
01:31 with the boys down the street with jumpers for goalposts on concrete and to think that
01:35 I can turn around to eight-year-old me and think wow, you made it. All this hard work,
01:40 all this sacrifice and something that you thought, I keep saying it's a dream and it honestly
01:44 is, it's something I only thought I could dream about and now it's here and we're living
01:49 every moment and yeah, it's just amazing.
01:52 Amazing, congratulations.
01:53 Thank you.
01:54 I was going to say, you're seriously not finished yet, you've still got a game to go.
01:57 No, no.
01:58 I was going to say, you've still got a game to go.
01:59 Do you know what, it was weird because last weekend we were away to Cheltenham and it
02:02 was like, hold on a minute, it was bizarre, like something that we've never obviously
02:08 done before and then to think that we've still got another game but that game will be amazing
02:12 because it's at home and we get to lift the trophy again. We didn't know about this today
02:16 but we get to lift the trophy at home next week in front of all our loyal fans that have
02:21 been there week in, week out and to play one last game to be able to do that with them,
02:25 with our Pompey family, it's just going to be amazing.
02:29 Do you have a message for all those fans that have turned up and are waiting for you?
02:34 Yeah, I really hope you're there again next week, like for everything that you've, they've
02:38 been with us home and away, for everything we've heard and tuned us on in games that
02:41 we need them. They're our 12th player and we want to celebrate with them because they
02:45 are a part of us and next week's for them.
