To "Yellow Fever" fervent fans,

Thank you. I and many in NZ are humbled by the experiences of the last few days. Your passion, enthusiasm, commitment and support played more than a major part. You were the "12th man" on the night and by leading the other 33000 people, contributed to what in my experience was the most amazing sporting occasion I have ever witnessed in NZ. BAR NONE.

 

Your transformation to White Noise was truly inspirational and sensational.

 

What a game , What a weekend, what a thrill. Our new stars are going to South Africa..Quite unbelievable really.  The next seven months will be a fun time to be a Footy supporter.

 

Thank you on behalf of all of the board, staff and indeed NZ.

Frank van Hattum
Chairman - NZF

12th man ay?  Does that mean we were more important than Baz, Boyens and Wood?

As 12th man does YF get $100,000 as well?
 
(as I'm not a founding part of YF I'd only want $2k or so)

Very nice PVFC.

Some love for everyone from Lawrie McKinna - Mariners coach - as well.

McKinna used the international break to fly to New Zealand to scout the local league and see Mariner Michael McGlinchey play in the All White's historic victory over Bahrain to qualify for the World Cup.

''I've never seen anything like it, the crowd and the atmosphere they created was just phenomenal,'' he said. ''Everywhere you looked there was white and people dancing in the streets. It was just brilliant.''

He was at the festival of football as well.

Happy Brithday Frank.
 
A lot of South American sides dedicate the #12 to fans, but probably too difficult with FIFA tournament numbering regulations. Might get WHITE NOISE on an All Whites shirt anyway.

How about I don't tell everyone the story about you bringing your women into the Zone and then scaring them off and we call it even?

Hey guys, I totally agree that the yellowfever has been great for the game, but there was so many more than just the yellow fever making that atmosphere what it was. There were people from all over NZ going bonkers in that zone.

We just provide a place to gather both online and at the stadium, anyone at that game last night who made noise, wore white, got their shirt off is included in the 'Yellow Fever' tag.

We just provide somewhere for people to send the thanks.

Too modest and unassuming HN, Smithy et al. 
 
Very NZer of you, but without the original bunch of nutters there wouldn't be this larger bunch of nutters.  Terry knows it, Ricki knows it, Frank knows it.
 
The "knows" carry the motion.

REEEEESPEKT to Michael Greene (whose idea YF was), Adam Brown (who build this website), Sam Buckle (who was also there at the time, probably getting others to do things for him ).

I'll make millions off my 12th man, Pasty Tribute and Sigmund the Seamonster shirts, and there are plenty more (shirts and women) where I got those from.
