2015 #YFHui - 6.30pm 24th July @ Backbencher

I'll do my best. We are also going to film it and put it up on the YouTubes.

Would love to Periscope it but don't think the internet at the BB could handle it.

Nibbles locked and loaded. We've put a tab on at the bar to subsidise drinks, so $2 will get any of these:

• Cider
• Speights
• Steinlager
• Macs Gold
• House win

The house always wins!

Buggar times like this I wish I lived in town sadly going to have to give it a miss.

Film it!!  I was just going to rock up in my work stuff - suppose I'll have to buy another fever tee now.

Surely there are better local beers to subsidise?

Kayla (Thunderstix) sent these through today.

I've got some of these printed and will bring them to the Bencher.

Posting here for people who can't make it and want to know.

and

Not going to come in, I work fomr home nowadays and it's too much of a bother to put on pants.

This is a pants optional event anyway. No excuses. 

Having said that, I'm downgraded to a maybe. At least for the early part of the night. 

The video of the evening is uploading at the moment, check twitter for the automatic tweet if you want to watch this afternoon since I'll be at football when it finishes. Otherwise, I'll post it here in this thread tonight.

Many thanks for putting the video on here Patrick! All the best to the exec for our championship winning season!

Just watched it now.  A real interesting insight into what actually happens behind the scenes and who does what. Without sounding to arse kissy cheers you elitist snobby cods :)

Interesting watch.

Can we have one of those simple YF T-Shirt designs in black with yellow print? Yellow does not suit me.

Nothing quite like watching yourself on video UGH!

Sorry everyone

it was quite good. Was that the first time that this was aired online? If so well done Patrick. Who was that lady in the frame at the front sitting down? Is that Patrick's girlfriend who was on TV? She seemed to sensible to be in such an audience 

Hahaha! That is my friend/flatmate. She'll love (hate) that.

It is the first time we've videoed it and put it up online.

All in the name of #Transparency. 

Seriously Trace, you rocked it. You were fantastic.

Ahead of you.  Thinking of a re-introduction of an old season one black option.

Oi News. Latest pod is 49 mins. Good enough for you?

4.9 and I'll commit

Royalties, ka-ching

Also, 2 cents on the tee shirts that were shown. 

The first "Fever over Welly" v2.0 with the dots and nz map works better than the ink splodge version. Keeps that retro vibe going on too.

Just watched the Hui vid, good work. An idea I had, would the Fever be willing to have a permanent presence, like a stall, on matchdays at the stadium? A way to promote the Yellow Fever and its good work towards football and charities in the region, sell gear, for people to donate towards tifo (and other enhancements to the matchday experience), a meeting point for out of towners, promoting YF tours to matchday goers that are not forum regulars etc.

It's not at all an original idea, something that I have read up about on the fan culture of St Pauli and their Fanladen.

It sounds good, just two things would be:

1, Would the Nix (and Westpac) be happy with us selling our gear at the games taking away from their revenue.

2, It would require someone to not meet at the pub and drink to man the stall. I'd be one person happy to do the odd game but you would be hard press to find a person each week maybe.

Those were the exact problems I thought of.

Point 2 is the killer.

Good work on the vid! Nice to keep up to date from afar.

Just watched. Great work. Quick question. Has the elite thought of doing a niceish fever polo top? Would love to have one so I can wear it casual Fridays at work. Also at more formal occasions than the normal tops can be worn.

This is a good idea. We did a black one in season one, but it tanked so we never did it again. Might be one for a short run pre-order type scenario. Would have to be black...finding decent yellow polos is impossible.

I'm keen for a black Yellow Fever polo. I wear my Nix one all the time and would so wear this!

I am also keen, I don't mind spending a bit of money ($50ish) on a good polo as I will get a lot of use out of it. Maybe something you could talk to adidas about show them some love back see if they will give you a discount on something like these

Get some YF branding on them and sell them for $50.00

Keen for that :)

I would just like to put in my order for the Shortland St t-shirt.

Might even get three.

Are we going to have the polos by season
