Hi there fellow fevers!
I have been wanting to throw this in the mix of 'boozer discussions' for a while but have only just confirmed that this venture is going ahead today.
I am very much looking foward to heading to the Thistle for a
few jars pre and post match when the season starts but want to tell
you about a possible option for an away match venue.
I am a publican in the CBD and have taken over what used to be
the Lab on the Corner of Dixon and Taranaki. I know what you are
thinking right now, and your right! It is not the kind of place you
would think of going to watch a game of footy....however....By mid
september we will be opening a mega sports bar in the site
with more screens than you can imagine. A bar where ALL sports are
catered for , especially football.Its going to be a multi level
site with a 'Hard Rock Cafe' style restaurant ( but with a sports
theme ) on the ground floor and the sports bar with TAB and Gaming
as well as screens for Africa.
Its early days at the moment but we will have a name ( quite
important ) and a website up and running in the next few weeks with
the design drawings for everyone to take a look at.
Would love to hear your thoughts, go the Phoenix!!
I also think we should try and sign Duncan Fergusson and Im
serious about that too!
All the breast
Jeepers it's a n advertising frenzy tonight! We are gonna have to
start charging. First RYOS now Big Dunc.
However, I do like the sound of that. Big screens, sports
betting, and did I hear you say free beer? 
maybe not
but sounds good. Make sure you kick out all the bludgers that hang
at the Lab.

Are you going to be open in time Dunc ?
thank god for that. they should have called the Lab "the Dungeon". looked like a place you would see on the movie Hostel, people getting chopped up and s**t. if you can build a place like your description says that would be a huge positive for Wellington. good luck
We might not be open for the very start of the season but were
hoping for late Sept/early oct.
That is sounding very positive. I would be keen to venture
there when the proposed upgrade has taken place.
If the bar is like the one described it will surely be a positive.
Great stuff BigDunc!!!!

imagine 
Big Dunc...

I sure am a Toffee. You might be surprised at the amount
of Bluenoses around so as much as I'd love to shout free beer,
unless we win the UEFA cup next year it may not happen!
im sure there are a few around... i know of about 5... class mate
looking forward to the opening... and will hold you to UEFA bit
lol

Hey, I think I remember you! Did you used to post on
bluekipper.com a few years ago? In fact I believe you
offered me a beer at the time...I'm trying to sort out coming
over for the Victory game, so I'll collect then!
Yeah, I still post on Bluekipper. Class site!
That offer still stands. See you soon
Top work BigDunc......look forward to sharing some ideas and
helping you get this project off the ground where I can.
Great idea to propose an away game boozer and base and from
our chats on Saturday and your descriptionon on here it sure sounds
like it'll be the 2nd home of Yellow Fever.
Everyone should get up to the re-opening of Karori Park this
Saturday morning too...and wear YELLOW!!!!! Terry and Ricky
will be playing in the Celebrity Footie match and they hope to
have Tim Brown and Costa there too.
ye sounds good but id rather have costa play for us then some
pointless game. Especially since we coming second. Depends if we
playing on sunday this week or not.
Yeah did hear that Costa has club commitments so might
not be there - unfortunate thing is that almost all the new players
are arriving into Welli on Sunday......
Chatham Cup I think this week lads. Which means Costa will be
at Naenae playing for Olympic.
Anywhere with "screens for Africa" must be a good place.

Exactlly, expect him to net at least 2.
I agree, Everyone should head up to KP and show Terry some support
for what he has done.
The Karori Dream team plays soon after the celebrity match,
well worth a look as well.
Dont forget Tuesday Coxey!
Will theyre be a lineup posted anytime soon?
Yeah theres a link in the thread for the actual Karori Park
re-opening which lists the line up....but here it is for you......
