“It’s a school night so hopefully it will be more calm than Saturday," Daegan Watts, organiser and shareholder of The Arena, said. "We’re hoping for the win of course. It’s going to be fun.
“Good clean fun though.”
Football fan Finn Rowan was optimistic, saying: "We're going to win. It's as easy at that. It's coming home."
