00:00I'd just seen the queues around the stadium. Well, Waterford Park Lane, it was just, just
00:08seems there was people everywhere just squatting at a match. You've got the turnstiles and
00:13the clock stand, getting pushed in, you know, trying to sneak back into it and getting pushed
00:18out and it was crazy. And all I can recall was the steward saying, get out, get out.
00:24And I was like, no, get out, no. And obviously he knew that we weren't with any adults because
00:31we were just literally three young kids who were just getting pulled from pillar to post.
00:37And then he says, get out of here. And they banged on the door and then the door opened
00:41and get in. And I was like, what? So we actually got into the match for free, which helped
00:48us because we all chipped in and got a couple of bottles and a couple of parts of beefy
00:51XL. That's to be done. That was amazing.
