00:15Now again, the feedback's really positive so we will do our best to focus on that positive but it is quite confronting.
00:25Our club, we've had similar sort of episodes to this. I don't know exactly what it is at the moment but our experience is you've just got to deal with the situation as it presents.
00:39We think that if we're guided by the philosophy of just making sure that we do everything we can for Steven and his family then it's likely we'll make good decisions in these situations.
00:53Any football priorities come second but also it doesn't mean that we can't be good enough to compartmentalise these things and sort of move on and get on with what we can control.
01:08So thoughts and prayers and all those things but we're really confident.

01:20We've got fantastic people here, they respond really quickly, an ambulance is on the field almost instantly it seemed to me.
01:27So that gives us some confidence as well.
