01:00I'm not sure what it's about, but it's nice, so...
01:05I'm glad, you know, to make me comfortable.
01:10Oh, that's nice.
01:17There he is.
01:20I like that.
01:23What are you going to take?
01:25I'm not quite sure.
01:28I don't know.
01:40Don't look like it. It looks like they've all gone.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Got here a little bit earlier, didn't I?
01:45Yeah, I had to sprint up here.
01:47Sprint?
01:48Yeah.
01:49What do you call it? A trot, maybe?
01:51Yeah.
01:52Okay.
01:59So the Crawley team are here now.
02:01I'm just going to go back through the press box,
02:04the media room,
02:06and see the players as they walk out
02:12to the stadium on the pitch for the first time.
02:16So we're here at the Amex for the Carabao Cup second round tie.
02:20First time the clubs have met.
02:22Well publicised since 1992,
02:25and there's some great footage that the club put out
02:29for their preview from the 1992 game.
02:32Interview with captain from the day, Tony Vesey.
02:36Really good interview, so it was great to see.
02:39Great to see that.
02:41We've got a live blog running at crawleyobserver.co.uk.
02:45How are you doing?
02:47Not too bad.
02:48Seeing some familiar faces here.
02:50I'm live on Facebook at the moment.
02:52Ah, hello Facebook.
02:54Familiar faces.
02:55There's some very loud music going on over here.
02:59Already a good atmosphere.
03:02Expecting more than 3,000 Crawley Town fans.
03:09Just going to take you behind the curtain as it were.
03:15There's one of my colleagues, Bill.
03:17Alright Bill, how you doing?
03:26Thanks a lot, cheers.
03:36Sam Morton is here.
03:41Let's go through the media room.
03:47Oh.
04:00So that's the media room,
04:03and this is where we walk up through from the press room
04:09up the corridor.
04:11Plenty of great photos.
04:14Billy Gilmore, wonder if they change that scene if he goes.
04:20From a European night.
04:24Jao Pedro scored the winner against Man United on Saturday.
04:30So up the stairs.
04:36Through here, the Tunnel Club is through there.
04:39And as we walk up.
04:44Yeah.
04:46And there we are.
04:47All the Crawley players.
04:53I'm Scott, I'm live on Facebook, excuse me.
04:56Gary, live on Facebook, how you doing?
04:58I'm very well, Mark, how are you?
04:59Yeah, not too bad, excited about tonight?
05:01Very excited, looking forward to it.
05:02Magnificent stadium, Sussex Derby, beautiful day.
05:05It's going to be a great game.
05:06Going to be a great game.
05:07Score prediction or is that to you?
05:09No, it's going to be one each and then it's going to go to pens.
05:12Then it's anybody's.
05:13And then it's anybody's, nice.
05:14I think that's what I've gone for as well.
05:16Okay.
05:19Yeah, we've got a great view.
05:20This will be my view from the press box.
05:23I am here, I think, P105.
05:25Okay, I'm here.
05:28Oh, Gary's just behind me.
05:29I'll be able to get running commentary if I miss anything.
05:31I'll be listening to him.
05:33Don't do that, anybody.
05:36Cool, that's Karl Larriman.
05:43Hi Karl, how are you doing?
05:46Yeah, I'm good, thanks.
05:47How are you doing?
05:48Yeah, exciting times.
05:54Yeah, normal, absolutely.
06:01There's the media team of Crawley, Sam Gadsden.
06:06And there's the Crawley players out in the centre of the pitch.
06:12And the coaching staff.
06:13There's Jamie Day, Ben Gladwin, Steve Hale, Ricky McFarlane.
06:22And Scott's spotted someone in the gods.
06:28So this will be filled up tonight, hopefully.
06:31And like we said, there's more than 3,000 Red fans going to be here.
06:38We're just above the tunnel.
06:40That's Sam Gadsden.
06:44Toby Malarkey walking in.
06:52That's Harry Forster.
06:54Hi Harry, how are you doing?
06:57Yeah, good, thanks.
07:08Take a look behind you.
07:20So Nick Paul, Nick Paul says he's going 2-1 Crawley.
07:23A couple of people have said that to me today.
07:27Like Gary's just said, a one-all.
07:28And I mean, if Crawley can get a draw, take it to penalties and win with 2-1,
07:34it'll be a great historic evening for the Reds.
07:38But yeah, post your score predictions here.
08:05There's Paul Pendergast.
08:25Great stadium here.
08:28At Falmer.
08:29At Falmer.
08:32Brighton to play 3rd-11 Crawley 1-0 Stephen North says.
08:36Here's Jeremy Kelly.
08:50Yeah, if Brighton do...
08:52I mean, Fabian Herzeler said yesterday that he is taking this game seriously.
08:56One, because it's a cup that they can probably win.
09:00Or should be looking to win.
09:02And also, because Crawley are a good side.
09:04He's watched Crawley twice.
09:05He saw them in pre-season.
09:08In a behind-the-closed-doors friendly.
09:12And then, obviously the under-21s.
09:15He was in the crowd watching an EFL trophy last week.
09:20Which Crawley won on penalties.
09:21It was 2-2.
09:22So, Herzeler's watched Crawley a couple of times.
09:24And he's been very, very impressed with what the Reds are doing.
09:28And he said he likes Scott Lindsay's ideas.
09:31So, yeah.
09:33I don't think he's going to take it for granted.
09:34But obviously they've got...
09:36They've just played Man United.
09:37Got a great result there.
09:39And then they're playing Arsenal on Saturday.
09:41So, it's...
09:43Yeah, big games.
09:48Fernando.
09:55And Saunders says good luck Crawley as well.
09:58So, yeah.
09:59It's going to be...
10:01It's going to be a fascinating game tonight, I think.
10:03Scott Lindsay, I spoke to him yesterday.
10:05And he said they are going to attack this like they would attack any other game.
10:09So, we expect Crawley to be on the front foot.
10:13Be aggressive in the press.
10:16He said he's going to go strong.
10:18And I think he's going to do that.
10:19So, yeah.
10:20In the press.
10:22He said he's going to go strong.
10:24He said, but there could be early change.
10:25Because again, Crawley have got...
10:27Obviously, the long trip to Wigan on Saturday.
10:29Then they've got Barnsley this Saturday at home.
10:33That's Scott Lindsay himself.
10:34How you doing, Scott?
10:35Yeah, good.
10:42Just up here.
10:44Yes.
10:45Not a bad view.
10:48Feeling good?
10:50Yeah.
10:52No pressure.
