00:00Lads, I know you've answered a lot of questions, but what's the week been like?

00:03No, it's been unreal. I'm full of adrenaline right now, honestly.

00:07They're supporting to see that, to see your queue.

00:10I'm feeling belief. Belief right now. Belief we're going to do something big this season.

00:15That's why you're doing this, really, isn't it?

00:16Exactly, yeah.

00:17Yeah, it's just to push it out. It's all about awareness.

00:20It's like new ideas, new innovation, bringing Preston together,

00:24bringing other fans together, do you know what I mean?

00:26And making it fun as well and full of energy.

00:28And I just think that's what something like Preston needed.

00:31And, you know, we've got a van there that's been in the flag market since 1955.

00:35Preston business. We're Preston born and bred.

00:38We've been a mascot of a Preston fan.

00:40Paulie was a mascot with a Joey Garner, Wondergold.

00:44Basically, we've got Preston in our blood.

00:46Yeah.

00:47We love it.

00:47The potential of the club's huge, isn't it?

00:49Yeah. Hopefully, hopefully, yeah.

00:52And we'll just do our bit, you know what I mean?

00:55But at the end of the day, we just love doing it as well.

00:57We love giving back.

00:58We love, like, doing the activations.

01:00I mean, like, when was the last time you saw kids and people and families?

01:05It's never heard of.

01:06And just to see all this now, it's unreal.

01:09Have you taken the shirts off this week or not?

01:11No.

01:11It's stuck to me.

01:12It's stuck to me.

01:13I know you've tweeted about it, but there's no orange on there, is there?

01:16No.

01:16It's red.

01:17And for anyone who doesn't know, there's history to that, isn't there?

01:19You don't want to change the...

01:21Yeah, it's the tram colour.

01:22So, we've got the old hot potato tram over there with the pickwick coven, which is red

01:26again and gold on there.

01:281955, so it's...

01:29It's what Keith started.

01:33We want his colours on his time.

01:36He's a true Preston legend and we want his colours.

01:39What were your early North End memories watching the team?

01:41I remember the beast.

01:45John Parker?

01:46John Parker, yeah.

01:47I was thinking you could do something with him.

01:48Yeah.

01:49Because people said, John, just pretend there's a pie in the net, we can do it with a cheese

01:54and beans.

01:54Pretend there's a cheese and beans in there.

01:56I think the best memory of Preston North End for me was when I was a mascot.

02:02That was an unbelievable day.

02:03I remember we were losing 1-0 against Robberham and Joey Scarno scored that wonder goal.

02:10Yeah, it was unreal.

02:11That celebration, yeah.

02:12On the chest, knee down, bang.

02:15Yeah, it'd be crazy.

02:16Unreal.

02:16Was it easy to sort?

02:17I know you won't be able to say too much, but how did it come about?

02:20I know you were asked just then.

02:21Well, obviously we've been Preston North End.

02:23My dad's been a season ticket for 50 years.

02:25Like, absolutely.

02:26And we've been, like, born and bred in Preston and we've got, you know, over, like, we've

02:31got, like, 7 million followers.

02:34So, you know, we've always wanted to do something with the club and to get this opportunity,

02:40it's unreal, do you know what I mean?

02:41So, we put our ideas forward and the club were like, you know, let's try something new,

02:48let's do it.

02:49And, you know, 400, 500 people have turned up for the launch of the kit as well.

02:55And we've got activations out here.

02:57So, this is just the start of something.

02:59And we've got some really good, wicked plans.

03:02And it's all to do with Preston and the community and that.

03:05Did the TikTok stuff come naturally to you to do, you know, that confidence in front of

03:09the camera?

03:09Because it's been massive for you, hasn't it?

03:11It's funnily enough, it was actually my dad that started the TikTok.

03:14Yeah.

03:14So, he started the TikTok.

03:16He got up to 60,000 followers.

03:18Quite quickly, or?

03:20Yeah, quite quickly, yeah.

03:21And he was, like, dancing in the taram, do you know those, like, dad dances?

03:24And we were like, oh, no.

03:26So, I quit my job.

03:27Harley was working with my dad on it.

03:29Took the risk and we're just like, you know what?

03:31Dad, what we'll do is we'll build a global brand, but we want to inspire the younger generation.

03:36Hard work, passion and energy, you can achieve anything.

03:40And even from a potato.

03:41Yeah.

03:41And it's what we did.

03:43And we got up every morning, hard work.

03:44Seven videos a day we started with, like, giving back.

03:47We started off with a pot of parched peas.

03:51That was one of our first ever videos, giving out to someone for free.

03:54And then we're here now, like, giving out 2,000 potatoes.

03:58It's unreal.

03:58You mentioned inspiration for, like, young lads and girls in the city.

04:03They come up to you, can't they?

04:03And what would you say to them if they don't know what to do with their lives and stuff?

04:06Well, I just say, one thing that I always say is attitude is more important than ability.

04:12Like, Harley was at college and he struggled.

04:16He has, like, ADHD.

04:17He's got dyslexia and dyspraxia.

04:18And he wasn't very academic.

04:20And he was more hands-on.

04:21And he got into the tram and he found it, do you know what I mean?

04:24And as long as you put the effort into something and your ability, yeah.

04:29Just don't give up.

04:31Yeah.

04:31Just don't give up.

04:32And if you've got an idea and a vision, go for it.

04:35And loads of people have ideas and they never go through with it.

04:39If you have that idea, you're halfway there.

04:41Yeah.

04:41Just go for it and just be really positive all the time and have the right attitude.

04:46You can achieve anything.

04:47Yeah.

04:47Can you give us a flavour for the season?

04:48Any plans you've got?

04:49Will you be here on match days and stuff?

04:51Oh, we've got lots.

04:52We have got a lot.

04:53Yeah, we've got lots, like, planned.

04:55We're not going to give our secrets away.

04:57Yeah.

04:58But, yeah, it's going to be really exciting for the club, really exciting for Preston.

05:01And, you know, we're just going to bring the energy.

05:04And have you seen the second and third kits?

05:05That's going to be nice.

05:07Ooh.

05:10Not asking the colour, but fans of them, yeah?

05:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.

05:13They are nice, yeah.
