Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splug R-Scast right here on R-Splug.com.

Hope you're well.

It's Friday morning.

We played in the Europa League last night.

So normally I try and get the podcast on on a Thursday.

So it's available first thing on a Friday morning.

But considering the game didn't finish till 10 o'clock, there was all the stuff to do.

After the game, the post-match stuff and everything else, I've had to put off podcast production

until this morning.

So apologies if you were expecting something first thing in the morning.

But this, this ladies and gentlemen, is the absolute worst consequence of being in the

Europa League.

Get the long distance travel, the flights, the rickety roads to get to stadiums.

Forget the low quality games against relatively low quality opposition.

It's the fact that the podcast is delayed and they were interops in my schedule.

That is absolutely the worst bit about the Europa League, which is why of course I hope

we get back into the top four next season.

I know Stan Cronkey will say it's good for us because it raises our profile as a club

Stan KSE to invest back into the club because of our self-sustaining model.

Anuna Amry will say yes, it's a good idea because we're playing football at the highest
