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.
01:09 Absolutely. And what's your score prediction today?
01:11 3-1 for me.
01:12 3-1.
01:13 3-1.
01:14 I think I said 2-1 on Thursday, but I've upped it to 3-1 now. I'm so confident today.
01:19 So, I'll probably put the kaiboshes on it now. But, yeah, no, I'm really confident I'll have a good day.
01:24 Right, we'll carry on videos like this throughout the day, speaking to fans, etc. So, have a good one.
01:29 So, I'm on the train. There's plenty of Crawley Town fans here.

04:48 We were visiting a match in London and I saw there was a stadium in the neighbourhood.
04:53 And I checked on the internet and it was Crawley Town.
04:56 I visited one time, but now I think it's 15, 20 times I've visited Crawley.
05:02 Oh, wow. Excellent stuff.
05:04 What's your favourite game so far? What's your favourite memory?
05:07 Last game this season against Greenman Town.
05:10 Yeah. You were there for that one.
05:12 Yeah, I was there as well.
05:13 Brilliant. Excellent. Well, I hope you enjoy today.
05:15 And have a safe trip back when it comes round.
05:17 I will. Thank you very much.
05:18 Excellent.
05:19 So, here we are at the Greenman Pub.
05:22 Allocated pub for Crawley Town fans.
05:24 The atmosphere is incredible. So much positivity.
05:28 There we go. We had Labour...
05:32 We're going to Wembley!
05:35 Nice.
05:36 Excellent. And this is the kind of positivity we're getting today.
05:40 Everybody's just happy to be here.
05:42 And, yeah, so the parliamentary candidate for Labour this year,
05:46 Peter Lamb, he is here over there.
05:48 I've seen lots of other people I know.
05:51 It's a great atmosphere. Lots of singing.
