00:00United getting relegated. We're going to have Steel City derbies back in Sheffield next season.
00:07Are you excited for those?
00:09Very excited, yeah, very excited. Nervous, excited. It's great to be playing them again.
00:14Won't even mention their name, but, you know, it was just right here, you know.
00:18It's great to have that place rocking again, almost like the back end of last season.
00:22Let's get the place rocking when they come to us and the same when we go down to them.
00:26So, yeah, it's going to be a great season next season. I'm so looking forward to playing United.
00:29I think, for a start, it's going to be a really exciting season for us now.
00:32We've got the manager tied down to a new deal and we've got some really good players coming in.
00:37I'm really excited to see what he's going to do with the team next year.
00:39Steel City derbies, yeah, it's going to be an interesting one, isn't it?
00:44Because there's always those nerves beforehand and then, obviously, if you lose, it's an absolute disaster.
00:48You've got to wait three or four months for the next game to come round to try and get a bit of revenge from them.
00:53But they're good games and they're what gets the city talking and gets the city excited.
00:57So, I think it's only a positive that we're in the same division again.
01:00Chris?
01:01I think the really positive thing is that it's the first time I've won a title.
01:03It's going to be a Steel City derby with two top managers in charge.
01:06It's not the days where you've got Kevin Blackwell and Alan Burton.
01:09It's like Chris Broad and Danny Wall, two really big characters, two very different managers.
01:14And I think that'll be really interesting to see on the touchline, to see how they will hit their wits against each other.
01:20So, it'll be really exciting.
