The Backy are gonna give out these cool Yellow Fever shirts when
you get a 20 drink ticket clipped (ie buy 20 drinks - doesnt have
to be in the same session!).
I'm starting Friday by watching the A-League kick-off there on
the big screen at 10pm..

The deal is, once you fill your card, we will sign, stamp and
authorise your card. you then pop on down to Champs to pick up the
shirt in your size. At that point you can also arrange at your own
expense to put your yellow fever username on the back of the shirt
if you so choose. There should be space.

I believe that phrase was suggested by myself with reference to the
Phoenix and Firkin pub in London, so if you wanna flick one of
those shirts down this way that would be great, thanks...

Are these going to be available all season, or is this a limited
edition job?
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Cranked up 15 stamps watching the footy last night - 5 to go. Well
done to the chap who ordered an 11 beer round in order to get his
hands on the first shirt - only to find (despite me telling
him) that he has to go to Champs to pick it up tomorrow. The
look on his face was classic.
Good times last night at the BB trading chants with the
Victory lads, bonded by a common hatred of Sydney.

Last night was fantastic for us. Had to get Boycie's wife in to
pick him up, he did well to get his 20 stamps, but I'm kinda ticked
he took one of our only 2 promotional shirts. At least he did it
the honest way. All the staff are asking if they can have them, and
i tell them sure, join yellow fever get your card, drink 20 drinks,
and then its all yours. We had no problems last night so away
supporters visiting the capital are welcome as long as they
understand that they will be largely outnumbered and constantly
ridiculed for their poor choice of team support.

Had a great night last night. Top pub, friendly locals, all good!

7 stamps to go.
I bloody invented the conceot, designed the shirt, and paid
for the creation of them with money out of my own pocket, and I
still have to get my 20 stamps like every one else.
Disgrace.
Note - a large part of the above statement may not be
true
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

9 stamps to go.
They are damm hard to get when everyone else keeps
shouting you so they can get thier stamps.

Awesome shirt, what about non beer drinkers?? I'll be driving to
the games, bugger catching a train from Upper Hutt! Besides night
shifts don't bode well for an amber session.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

No new cards will be issued until the Fever Lounge organize
their new shirt. Existing card holders will still be able to fill
there cards and redeem them, just don't expect to use the card in a
months time and expect that there will be any shirts left. This was
a limited production run and the supply is nearly gone in less than
a month. We (at the Backbencher & Fever lounge) would like
to thank everyone who nearly poisoned themselves to earn one of
these shirts for free. Due to demand they may become available for
general sale at a cost (+ small profit for yellow fever fund)
price.
Any queries pls contact mailto:paul@backbencher.co.nz

Nah, just take it into champs and they will sort you out. The
comments about signing the card etc where made in reply to the
person who was implying they would use photo shop on the cards to
fraudulently procure shirts.

run. We are looking to try and get them on sale for $50 but that
may be a little optimistic.

$50 is very reasonable for a shirt these days so I reckon you could go higher if you have to, to make it worthwhile like.

Can we reserve them, 1st dibs if we can i'm a large ta!!

As i said, the differance betwwen cost and retail would more than likley go into the fund we have set up for yellow fever - so far only the BBQ proceeds are there. We would like to use this money to help get YF a giant phoenix shirt to display at games.

Excellent idea, can we help by donating money for such a worthy
idea??
Permalink

Nothing is official yet. Im supprised the YF guys dont have a
Paypal donation link. Im assuming the amount of traffic that goes
through this site and the storage would be quite expensive. We gave
them some money, but im sure the maintenance and upgrades arnt
free.
