Fever Wants YOU!

You'll have noticed lately that Welnik and Patrick have been making significant strides in improving this forum software, and generally making the site a bit more ace than it has been. They have been great additions to the admin team, and haven't taken a whole lot of our money like the previous set of c nts did.

But we need more soldiers in our child army.

We are keen for general helpers - we want to do more TIFO, more video, more bloggage, and more photos - so if you are enthusiastic in a particular area and want to be promoted to Staff Sergeant then drop us a line.

Specifically, we need someone who can help us sell some advertising on the site so that it can pay its own way for a change.

It's harder than you'd think, so some sales experience is probably a must.

In return: beers. And the sense that you're making a contribution to NZ's most ace supporter group (as voted by everyone except Brendan Telfer). May or may not look good on the CV, depending on your point of view.

Email me: smithy@yellowfever.co.nz if you're keen.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

It's a moving target at the moment but the plan is to get some stuff up on site that is a bit more chunky that forum chat. Bloggage if you will.

You know, seeing as most of the proper print journalists seem determined to do it badly .

Might be keen to contribute to blogging on some level, interested to see your plans as they firm up

I'm happy to write a weekly article contribution.

"Football in Focus" and look and the latest developments / trends based on the expert opinions of Hardnews / Vader / Vincent etc etc.

It will be a poorly written and satire rich piece from a one eyed perspective, my own.

All i need are the contact details for all current all whites and international / national player and some grammar lessons.

Good to see plans are developing to take the site further.

My First Article Will be - How does one become an angsty fooball fan... a tale of toys and cots, of passion and tissues (take from that what you will) and ultimately a little about football.

As usual I will probably contribute very little but convince myself that I am an indispensable member of the Yellow Fever by posting inane comments about myself on the forums!

So it will be a collection of Steve-O's and nufc_nz's posts then?

I will look after the management of the Yellow Fever greyhound.

Oh, did I mention, I think that Yellow Fever should invest in a racing greyhound.  All it will take is a few contributors to put in a few dollars to top up what is short from the advertising on this site (I am currently researching the actual costs at the moment), name the greyhound "Frankie Mac" (or "Yellow Fever" I guess), do some publicity generating interviews with TV3 and Turf Digest and then watch the money roll in as it romps home in a number of high profile races. Winnings are split based on the amount of the share each person (and entity) has.  Winning money can be spent on Backbencher juice or re-invested to buy other greyhounds ("Waffles", "Durante", "Siggy", etc).

Sadly for the Fever my awesome writing, spelling, interviewing skills and my excellent understanding of the game, knowledge of the local & international players & teams as well as my witty, charming, amazing personality will leave the country with me for an extended OE in July, so I will have to limit my contribution to the forums to a few posts relating to games I most likely won't have seen on TV.

Very keen to team up when I get back though.

It was primarily at myself but other people may share in my laziness if they can be bothered!

so, the Yellow Fever greyhound (yes, I am still running with this) is about $250 and the $45 per month for a 10% share.  It races pretty much every week (assuming it doesn't get injured or hit by a car) and the syndicate gets 80% of all winnings (20% goes to charlatans who train, manage everything, etc).  Whose with me?

If you call it "Billy" I might consider investing as a silent partner.

It'd be a great investment just for the superb name that I'm sure the YF guys would come up with.

Nice thread hijack Frankie.


In saying that, the greyhound is a bloody good idea.

you all know it makes sense. 

Can't you just see Smithy and Hard News hosting their own piece (called Doggy Style) on TAB TV?  Can't you just hear a commentator saying "...and coming last is Wellington Phoenix..."?  Can't you just smell the corn dogs?  Can't you just see Feverish standing next to a greyhound, finally having a legitimate reason to wear his flat cap?

Worst case scenario - if the dog is a complete flop, we can use it as a training tool, making the players try to catch it (just like when Rocky had to try to catch the chickens)

I'd call it "Yellow Fever" so that it gets us free advertising everytime it runs. I guess any returns could be re-invested into this site to keep the costs down. I'd be in with a grin Frankie if our two additions to the gunmen household hadn't arrived. But kids come first sorry!

I'd offer to do something for this site but between running my own and modding on two other sites, I couldn't give enough time to this awesome project that has brought us all together so to speak.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Now the RR is retired - call it RR... we'll get heaps of Southlanders following it, especially when we're yelling "Go RR...."

Ok, it's Friday - I need coffee... will get me coat first...

Always happy to help out generally but not sure I really offer anything that useful on a regular basis. 

Feel free to include on your general helpers list though.

Apparently to name a dog, it has to be purchased as a pup so that slightly rules out that idea (unless you want to make payments for a couple of years before it even races).
