00:23 Hi there, so I've managed to find Sam Morton on the train. We're on our way to London Bridge. Sam, what's your experience of the travel been like this morning?
00:32 Yeah, surreal. Never seen a bike going through Eichel station and just a flood of people that came on.
00:37 Probably even more so, more than came on cruelly in then three videos, obviously lots more people.
00:42 Just, yeah, filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement for this historic game really.
00:47 Yeah. And yeah, it's just, as you say, it's just a surreal occasion and you're really expecting a really good day.
00:53 Yeah, absolutely. And you had your own chant I hear when you walked on the train.
00:57 Yeah, someone's on the wiki-take is saying I'm on the way to work, based on my attire.
01:01 But, obviously, does it count at work? Does it really count at work going to a club?
01:05 No.
01:06 I've never thought we'd go and work with these guys. That's what I'd say. Not really worth it.
