Speaker 1: you get sick of people talking to him about Coronation.

11
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Street a little bit because I'm a massive fan of

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: ease standards, so I have to have to listen to

13
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: the coronationship Coronation Street rubbish time.

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,279

Speaker 1: Okay? Can I ask you and this is this?

00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 4: You did your research?

18
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: I did my research. No worries now listen, this isn't

19
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: This has been videoed as well as being on the radio.

20
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: But for people watching this on the audio, do you

Speaker 1: the car? What's what's gone wrong?

23
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: Well? Now the truth.

24
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: The truth is we're actually sitting outside the golf club

25
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: just after playing eighteen holes.

26
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,240

Speaker 1: And Brian eleven point one.

33
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 3: So we both play off eleven basically, so.

34
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: It's it's a competitive round very we we we.

35
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 5: Actually when we're playing together, we just play off scratch.

36
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 5: We always just play off scratch head.

37
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: To heads all the time, and one of us it's

38
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: always a different person that wins every time.

39
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: It's it's it's too close to call fantastic.

40
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: What sort of car you got because you've got your

41
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: seats down in the back. Have you got it? You

42
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: got a waggon there?

43
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 3: Clearly?

44
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 5: Nah, we had a body in air, but we got

45
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 5: rid of it for the years.

46
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 4: The mother in law, she's gone now we got rid

47
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 4: of her fair enough. Hey listen, we have the sticks

48
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 4: the sticks man, what have.

49
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: You only got one sit between you?

50
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, is set outside the door on its tripe.

51
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: But I didn't have time to clean the wheels, so

52
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: he said, that's not coming to my car.

53
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, fair let me let me ask

54
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: you about kit Keith. Let me ask you about Coronation Street.

55
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: Because I'm a lifer. I've literally watched Coronation Street my

56
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: entire life. I made a documentary funnily enough about Coronation

57
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: Street on its fortieth anniversary about twenty years ago. When

58
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: you get a part on a show like that, is

59
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: that like the thrill of a lifetime or have you

60
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: already had too many thrills to be bothered by it?

61
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: No?

62
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: You know, at that time in my life, it was

63
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 5: something that was very, very needed, and I was so

64
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: grateful to to have to have achieved that role. And

65
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 5: I'd been on the road of Boyzone for seven years,

66
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 5: I'd come out. I was kind of last I didn't

67
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 5: know what way my life was gone. And Coronation Street

68
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 5: is something that we grew up in Dublin watching. You know,

69
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 5: if you're in her granny's house at half seven on

70
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 5: a Monday or Wednesday, you know you dare not say

71
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 5: a word.

72
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: Nobody will ring.

73
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 4: The phone, nobody will knock on the door. It was

74
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 4: a sacrilege. You had to just sit and be quiet

75
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: for that half an hour.

76
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 5: And when I when I was in Coronation Street, I

77
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 5: joined in two thousand and two. And when I was there,

78
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 5: I worked with Jack Doruckworth, Verit Duckward and Mike Baldwin

79
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 5: and Fred Elliott and Vera Duckward and then with Bette

80
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 5: Lynch and Betty's Hot Pot. You know, I managed to

81
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 5: be there at a fantastic I was there for the

82
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 5: fiftieth anniversary, actually for the big tram crash and the

83
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 5: fiftieth anniversary.

84
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: But looking at the.

85
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 5: Show now, because my mum watches it still and looking

86
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 5: at it now, I don't know anybody in the show anymore.

87
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 5: That all those legends are gone, Like Bill Roach is

88
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 5: still there, Ken Barlow and he's been in from day one,

89
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 5: But all of the legends of Corey from when I

90
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 5: was growing up in my granny's house, they're all gone.

91
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 5: So I was there at a fantastic time. I got

92
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 5: to work with all of the icons of Coronaesi Street.

93
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: Do excuse my ignorance now, but you lift from memory

94
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: in a cab like so many do is are you

95
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: still alive and open for a return or is it

96
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: just never gonna happen.

97
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, my character was a chef in the navy

98
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 5: and he went a wall and hit out with Peter

99
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 5: Barlow on Coronation Street, and he was engaged to be

100
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: married to Kim Marsh's character, which was Michelle, and he

101
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 5: ended up leaving Michelle in a black cab going down

102
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 5: Carnation Street heading for to be a chef on the

103
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 5: cruise liners in the Caribbean.

104
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: So he's in them. He's insane, Lucia.

105
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 5: I think at the moment fuck at spaghetti Bolline's for

106
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 5: some tourists from America.

107
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: Brian, serious question, because these things fascinate me when you

108
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: look back now, as I'm sure you do periodically in between,

109
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, whole seven or night. What do you make

110
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: of being being discovered, of having your life turned around

111
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: and all that's happened to you in the way it did.

112
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: Well for us, It was such a sudden and fast

113
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: thing to happen.

114
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: You know, we look at how Boyson started and when

115
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: they got together, they started kind of doing all the

116
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: little small gigs, and you know, it took them a

117
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: few years before they kind of got recognized and got

118
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: a single and all that kind of.

119
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: Stuff for West Life.

120
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: We were we were signed by Louis Walsh and within

121
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: about three or four weeks of that, we were touring

122
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: with Boys On, you know, and they were playing like

123
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: Wembley Arena to sixteen thousand people and all these massive,

124
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 2: massive arena concerts all over Europe.

125
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: And that's how our career started.

126
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: Before we'd even recorded our first single, we were touring

127
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: with Boys On.

128
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: So, you know, it kind of I came out of school.

129
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: I was eighteen years old.

130
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: I finished school straight into West Life and it just

131
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: went so fast.

132
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 3: It was just this massive snowball that just kept rolling

133
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: and getting bigger and bigger.

134
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: And you know, there was mornings I'd wake up and

135
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: pinch myself and I'm just waiting for this to be

136
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: all a dream that I've been asleep for the last

137
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: few years.

138
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: And until the day I left after whatever.

139
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: It was six or seven years, you know, it was

140
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: the most exciting thing that could ever happen to a person.

141
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: And you know, I was just on a constant high.

142
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: I always had a smile on my face and just

143
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: always felt like I was the luckiest guy in the world.

144
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: And to be honest with you, even now, it is.

145
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: You know, at twenty five, twenty six years later, I

146
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: still feel the same. You know, the fact that I'm

147
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: in my forties now, well at them my forties now,

148
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: and I can still do this as a job, you know,

149
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: something that I absolutely love. I would have done this

150
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: for free when I was a kid, to get on

151
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: stage and sing songs to p is was. I did

152
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: it as a kid for free, and it was the

153
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: most exciting thing then. But the fact that I've got

154
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: to make a career out of it, have a great life,

155
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: and still in my forties to be still able to

156
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: go out and perform in front of big audiences and

157
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: get that buzz every night.

158
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: You know, it's just an absolute blessing.

159
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Once your observation on and you've been involved in it.

160
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: Of course, reality television which has evolved in your time

161
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: in the industry of people who want instant fame, instant success.

162
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: If I pop up sing a song, I might win something.

163
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: Is that healthy? Is it good? Does it work well?

164
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 2: I think when it comes to the likes of you know,

165
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: the idols and the Get Talents and those kind of shows,

166
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: I don't mind it so much because right now and

167
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: geology for the last twenty years.

168
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 3: It's very very very very difficult.

169
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: To get discovered or if you've got any kind of talent,

170
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: for someone to find you. So they are a great

171
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: outlet and a great way for you to you know,

172
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 2: find your career and find a way for people to

173
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: see what you do.

174
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: Well.

175
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: The other side of it, with you know, the normal

176
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: reality shows and people now like TikTok stars and people

177
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 2: that are coming becoming famous, you know after five minutes

178
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: for doing nothing.

179
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: That part I find very difficult.

180
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: I find it weird now that the biggest stars on

181
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: the planet are famous for absolutely nothing.

182
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: You know.

183
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: When I was growing up, it was movie stars and

184
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson.

185
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: People like that.

186
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: They were proper legends and they'd done something and they

187
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: were better than other people in the world are doing

188
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: and that's why we looked up to them.

189
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: That's why they were so famous.

190
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: But now that people at the most famous and influential

191
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: people in the world are influencers, you know, and they

192
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: don't actually really do anything, I find that hard to

193
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: kind of accept.

194
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 1: Okay, Keith Hugh with the Pioneers, how did you guys

195
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: handle it? This fine thing when it happened to you.

196
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 5: I suppose, like Brian said, it all happened so fast,

197
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 5: and I don't think I believed it at the start.

198
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, people were calling us pop stars,

199
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 5: but to me, a pop star was Madonna. Well, you know,

200
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 5: it was Freddie Mercury for me. Popstars and rock stars

201
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 5: was Bono.

202
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: From you two. You know, I suppose that.

203
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 5: That whole imposter syndrome is something that we might have

204
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 5: all suffered with at the start, you know. But and

205
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 5: you know, maybe to this day people might still kind

206
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 5: of say, yeah, you are in a pastor. But like

207
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 5: the reality is, we did manage to sell sixty million albums.

208
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: We did manage to sell out arena tours.

209
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 5: So even if our audience wasn't you know, critics in

210
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 5: Hot Press magazine, you know, and they were like the

211
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 5: teeny propper market, you know, somebody has to appeal to

212
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 5: that market, and that's what we did.

213
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: So we're very aware.

214
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: Of where we stand in the popular market.

215
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 5: But we were very successful within our parameters. But it's

216
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 5: even so, it was very difficult to understand our surroundings

217
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 5: because we come from a very hard working class background

218
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 5: on the North side of Dublin and Ireland, and you know,

219
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 5: I was working from the age of thirteen. I was

220
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 5: selling I was selling vegetables and potatoes at the side

221
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 5: of the row. I was, you know, fifteen, I was

222
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 5: a bellboy, lounge by waiter in restaurants, and you know,

223
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 5: we had to do what we had to do to

224
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 5: try and you know, bring in a few bob to

225
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 5: support the household in which we lived with our parents

226
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 5: and our siblings, so to get an opportunity to join

227
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 5: the band. And all of a sudden you're traveling around

228
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: the world and you're staying at five star hotels.

229
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 4: It was all very surreal.

230
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 5: And I suppose we enjoyed it while it lasted, because

231
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 5: we kind of felt that happened so quickly that it

232
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 5: could be taken away just as quick.

233
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: And yeah, and here we.

234
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: Are, thirty years later, still getting away with it.

235
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: So who knows.

236
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: I was just about to say, I have to listen

237
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: to your last album.

238
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: It sounds like you're still selling turnips the turkeys.

239
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: This band of Mules is of all beautifully, I guess,

240
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: isn't it. So you get together Initially, I take it

241
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: you got together because you might. I mean, you're not

242
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: sitting in a car having played golf together unless you might.

243
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, every every great working relationship has to have

244
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 5: a foundation of friendship, you know, when it doesn't have to,

245
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 5: but it certainly helps. And we're not we're not behind

246
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 5: the door of having a are having a fight. We

247
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 5: don't agree on everything. You know, there's only two of us,

248
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 5: so you know, you're not always in great spirits around.

249
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 5: There's days you wake up and you get out of

250
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 5: the wrong side of the bed. You might have had

251
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 5: a late night, your your workie schedule might be so

252
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 5: busy that you can't see the light of day, you know,

253
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 5: and you know you react to that. And there's times

254
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 5: that we kill each other, but you know, we've known

255
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 5: each other long enough to have that solid foundation. And

256
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 5: when any relationship has a solid foundation, the blocks can

257
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 5: be knocked down, but you can always build them back

258
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 5: up again.

259
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 3: And that's what we do.

260
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 5: We have a great ability to be able to rebuild

261
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 5: the blocks when we knock them down.

262
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: Fantastic. How's Chorlie going?

263
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: It's good.

264
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: I think it was a you know, when we got.

265
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 4: Involved, it was such an exciting end to last season.

266
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: And to be honest with you, Charlie, at the time,

267
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: coming to the end of the season being right there.

268
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: You know, we were second right up to the end

269
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 2: and got to the playoffs and we just fell short.

270
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, being there was actually a

271
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: little bit ahead of schedule. You know, this year is

272
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: going to be a massive year now. There's a lot

273
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: of development going on, a lot of new recruitment. The

274
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: stadium is going to be getting bigger and better. There's

275
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 2: more fans coming. So this year is the year that

276
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 2: we're really pushing to try and get promotion and begin

277
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: this road to hopefully getting into the Football League.

278
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: Fantastic listen, guys, we're looking forward to seeing you in
