1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: Part two of the Auckland de FC this weekend as

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: they take on Melbourne second leg of course, of the

3
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: playoffs won the last week. Home ground this week sold out,

4
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: of course, Aukland def C boss Nick Beck is back

5
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: with us. Nick. Morning to you morning, Mike.

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: How are you well?

7
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Thank you? If you win this weekend? Will you be

8
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: as hungover as if I talk to you next week

9
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: as you were last time?

10
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: No? Well, listen, if we win, that's a very good question.

11
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. But if we go through it, I

12
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: certainly hope we do. This Saturday. It's going to be

13
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: a massive week for the club as we'll lead into

14
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 2: our first ever home ground final. So that's the plan.

15
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: I think I'll behave myself. But if you asked me

16
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: that question in two weeks time.

17
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: It could could be a whole different story. The who

18
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: do you play are you? Are you ahead to the

19
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: final and winning the whole thing yet or are we

20
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: just taking this weekend.

21
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: No, we're definitely not getting ahead of ourselves and that's

22
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: that's definitely been a big message from from everyone from

23
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: Bill right down to you know, like sort of Steve

24
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: and the coaching staff have said to the boys a

25
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: few times this week we've set them down and said, look,

26
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: you know we we're on that. We've had a fantastic season.

27
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: It's been an amazing journey so far, but nobody wants

28
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: it to end. And if we start thinking about a

29
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: Grand Final, we can slip up. And it's all about

30
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: having that focus in concentration. To be honest, If I

31
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: think if they play like they did last Saturday, where

32
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: they were just hungrier, they wanted it more immense and defense,

33
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: and then you know, to get a one dollar away

34
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: is exactly the position you want to be coming too

35
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: a home seer.

36
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: Final, exactly. The bottom line affect crowd aside, homeground advantage

37
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: aside the bottom line effect. Having extra games at home

38
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: must be good for business.

39
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: You would think so much, but unfortunately, the way that

40
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: the structure of the ale goes is the majority of

41
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: that particular money goes off to to the A League,

42
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: to apl who run it. So although there are a

43
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: few advantages for it and certainly it helps out our

44
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: retail sales, the structure of the camp at the moment

45
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: as it is, and I mean it's probably down to

46
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: fact it's only a young competition where it's only twenty

47
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: years old. But they come in and do a smash

48
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: and grab and take our final, our final texting money.

49
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: So it's not as lucreative as you'd hope it to be.

50
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: You need to rearrange that.

51
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: I do agree, and we're going to plan. That is

52
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: on high on the list of things to do.

53
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: And that well, that was the other thing. I didn't

54
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: realize that away goal thing had gone years ago and

55
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: all sorts of competitions around the world. Why did that go?

56
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: And is that good or not?

57
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: I think the goal should be treated as as as

58
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 2: a goal. I think the goals of goals. You don't

59
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: like it to be parts with a double goal from

60
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: away thing. That could have been an own goal, could

61
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: have been a terrible goal, you know. It sort of

62
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: could have been a referring era of viar era, you know.

63
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 2: So I think the fairby is to have a goal

64
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: as a goal and you win it. You win it

65
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: in the time, or it goes into extra time and

66
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 2: it goes down to penalties. If it's all locked up after.

67
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: That, okay, well, good luck this weekend. Most of the

68
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: nations behind you, as far as I can work out,
