"There are people behind the scenes who are doing it for the right reasons, they are doing it for the football club.
"It’s a tough place to go but it’s an enjoyable place to go. The fans know their football, you can’t com them, they know what they are looking at good or bad. It’s a pleasure to go there."

"It’s a football environment up there and it’s enjoyable to go there."
