Nice try Matt!, how about if you offer to shout the fever beers for a night if the Phoenix win the league, we'll come to your bar and watch the away games!

Am I up with the play??? wtf?
1. I went to four kings for every away game last season.
2. I went to BB's before and after every home game last season
3. I thinks its great that Matt and Boycie give us about 40 cents off a pint (which is the same as a backbencher party members get year round)
But you've missed the point completely. This is an opportunity for BB's or Four Kings or any other bar that wants our hard earned cash to say "We love supporting the Phoenix and we love having the Yellow Fever here, If the Phoenix win the league this season, we'll repay your loyalty to us by shouting you some beers". There's nothing more to it than that.
If Boycie or Matt decide to do that, then cool. If not, thats fine to.

In my (substantial) experience of enabling the provision of free/cheap grog... the more you give, the more people want - it's a no win... better off on the lower side so A) it's appreciated when it is offered; and B) you make some money when it isn't...

By your logic, if another bar said "We are so pleased that the Phoenix won the league this season we'll shout the supporters some free/discounted beer/food or whatever it happens to be" then we shouldn't go because its not BB"s or Four Kings.
As I said, its an OPPORTUNITY, nothing more. If either bar decides to take it up then cool, if they don't thats cool too, but don't be surprised if another bar pounced on the opportunity to try and lure some of your best customers away from you.
I think the original intent of my first post has been lost a bit in the banter between you and I UberGunner, given that situation, this thread can probably be closed.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Thanks for the offer of a shout Mike (Feverish). Chances are if we make the final it'll be in Sydney and I'll definitely be going so we can shout each other beers at some dodgy establishment in Sydders.
As for holding the bars to ransom, my English skills must suck because it was never my intention to convey that message, I live above BB's and go there all the time and more often than not I have a beer and a yarn to Boycie and the locals. Matt can confirm that I spend far to much money at Four Kings every Friday night when I should be home having a quiet night before my football the next day!
I'm a big fan of both pubs and have no intention to looking elsewhere to drink when supporting the Nix.
Lets call this a dead subject and move on to more important matters about the Phoenix and the Fever.
