00:00So Steve tell me where we are today. So we're here in Cosham at the new King
00:04George V football complex replacing the burnt out old pavilion that was
00:07here before with a stunning new building and 3G pitches which will enable 12
00:12months of the year use particularly focused around youth and women's
00:15football. It's a brilliant opportunity for the community, it's been warming up
00:19now for a few months and bedding in and we already know that it's going to be an
00:22enormous success. We've got huge support from the FA, the Football Foundation, the
00:26Levelling Up Fund and the Youth Investment Fund along with a lot of
00:29money from Portsmouth City Council to enable this facility to be here for the
00:33community for future generations. Tell me what the reactions been like since it's been open.
00:38Since we've opened been an amazing reaction there was lots of partner
00:42clubs on board through the build process they're now settling in here and they
00:45absolutely love it.
