00:00 Did you ever think, watching Crawley Town at Town Meet all those years ago, that you'd ever see them play at Wembley?
00:06 No, never. I think one of my first games was, Crawley were tuning up against Merthyr Tydfil in the FA Cup qualifying round and they lost 3-2 to the Welsh Wonders.
00:17 You know, my dad and I used to go when the team were in the Beezer Homes division and the Dr Martins Premier and playing in like the Sussex Cup.
00:26 So, I think it felt a long way away then. In all honesty, it felt a long way away towards the end of the season as well.
00:35 But I think the way it finished with the win against Grimsby and then the play-offs against MK Dons, which is crazy.
00:45 I don't think I've ever seen such a one-sided play-off. It was brilliant and now Wembley's waiting.
00:50 Have you managed to get along to any Crawley games? I know you live in Sheffield now. Is there any way of getting there?
00:57 No, I've still got family who live there but I've got three kids and three jobs.
01:05 I keep a very close eye on them but it's hard to actually go and see them in the flesh.
01:13 But that's the benefit of the modern technological world, that you can keep a very close eye on and see how things are going.
