00:00My name's Andy O'Brien, a lot of people probably know me in Shrewsbury for playing the guitar and singing and doing other things entertainment wise, but I work closely with the Red Barn.
00:08I run all their social media, I promote and I've known for playing here quite a few times, but we've come up with this idea, Football Pool.
00:15And we had a couple of premiership footballers come down, well one premiership footballer and his friend Sammy Haston from Shrewsbury Town Football Club.
00:24And Dave Edwards, who's a Welsh international, started at Shrewsbury, played for Wolves, Reading, good friend of mine.
00:32Come down a couple of weeks ago and opened our crazy idea, a football pool to drag people out and bring them back down the pub with their families.
00:40It was just, I have these crazy ideas and a friend of mine runs the pub and he was in a position where he could make it happen,
00:48so he spoke to his good friends at Conroe & Sons and they made it happen.
00:54They were in here with the diggers and within a couple of days it was all ready, we were all doing the footballs and time to promote it.
01:02It was initially designed for the kids, but I think the big kids love it just as much, so I think it's going to be a hit and I'm sure it won't be the only one that's made.
01:10Maybe the only one that's in Shrewsbury, but I think we might.
