Between us, yeah.

I I think what's also really important around great stadia and great set ups is your ability to be able to attract the best players and um and excite people for what is being built.

And I remember back to my so I have a a cousin Gary who was the Arsenal doctor for the best part of fifteen years, very, very close with Arsen Wenger and I

I remember when Ermerts opened back it must have been the late noughties and I went over for a Champions League game and he brought me into the stadium and he showed me around and he told me a couple of stories and he said

Um at one point in the drawings there was in the in the home dressing room there was a huge pillar in the middle of the dressing room and Wenger was looking at this and he said, Alright, th you know, that's that's gotta go.

He said, Well it's actually weight bearing, we can't move it.

He says, It's gotta go.

I don't care how much it costs 'cause I can't see all my players And then he goes across to the away dressing room and it's a mirror image of the home dressing room and

He's kind of going, Why are we spending so much money on the on the away dressing room?

Surely we you know, you give grounds like the recreation ground where you're sitting on each other's laps, the space is so frickin' tight, you're kind of going, Oh god.

So you're going in with kind of a negative feeling about it before you ever play.

Um and what was really interesting was his mindset around no no no, I want people coming to the

Emirates and they see the away dressing room and going, Oh my god, I want to play for Arsenal.

Not not not this is great and everything is like they're thinking to themselves, if this is the away dressing room, what's the fucking home dressing room like?

And I think that is such an important part around building things.

And you talk about port of cabins and freezing, God, I remember that twenty-five years ago.

Okay, it's a bit longer for us and you've had to kind of wait o over that period of time.

But geez, we we were egg the exact same.

We were no matter.

We were getting text messages around what pitch we were going to use, where we were going to train, um, you know, the way we look.
