Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

A week tomorrow, round one kicks off.

We are excited.

And young fans, we want you to share your passion for your team and try and pump them up, fire them up to even greater heights this year.

We're currently getting it the mini motiv motivators open to anyone under 18.

I mean,

I have been saying under 18 for a couple of days, there is a very confusing entry which we'll play in 10 minutes time from a 59-year-old Dees fan. Oh, great. I mean, he must have surely had mini motivators at least. What's that competition that Homer enters that's meant to be for kids and he wins.
