Uneasy with fan authored articles published on the club site.

Suggests a partnership.

Yellow Fever should have its own voice.

The club will continue.

Yellow Fever DOES have its own voice.

In the Zone podcast, the forums, contributions to From The Stands and Football Central

Why shouldn't fans also contribute to the club's website. I think it is a great initiative. One of the problems I have had with the Phoenix historically is that it has been a franchise and NOT a club. The fans have not really belonged.. we've been customers of the franchise. This is another GREAT step to making the Phoenix a club. Lot's of things that are happening this year are improving this dimension. Long may it continue.


Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Piney writes stuff for them too. You think he doesn't have an independent voice?

Various other people have written for Phoenix and Team Welly programme for Phoenix. And for NZF website.

So has I <3 Nix, but her opinions are definitely not affected because of it, she's not afraid to have a go at Vinnie Lia when he deserves it. I fail to see your point.

Since when was Patrick the voice of the Fever anyway? He's an assistant to the senior intern

I even put a disclaimer on my opinion piece stating that it's my opinions, not the Fever's opinions.

That clearly grates with my original post.

Jason wasn't the subject when creating this thread.

This reeks of collusion and tinfoil hats. I demand an investigation!

Patrick doesn't speak for me which is why I am outraged he signed my name on it. Oh wait, shit, it actually says "Patrick Barnes".... Stand down.

LOUD NOISES!

Actually I think Phoenix hire the Radio Network to do the ads. It just happens to be that Piney does the voice for most of the ads.

On behalf of the 4% of de-cluttered threads that remain; I'm perturbed by your random use of precise statistics. Stinks of conspiracy. Nurse.....

I got asked to write an opinion piece for the Wellington Phoenix website. I obliged. That now means that Yellow Fever has no independent voice and is completely influenced by the Phoenix now apparently.

I'm confused. It doesn't have a picture of Pashtrick but it starts "In my opinion..."

Yes, the mainstream media generally won't cover the sport adequately, so someone has to.

Can you copy my Dangerous Liaisons Travel Blog posts and duplicate them in the blogs board easily Patrick?

If you can't I can do it manually...

Patrick has sold out to the Man. He needs to be beaten out of the Fevah Ultras.

(or maybe has to carry the flags and write apps for the rest of the season)
