So a while ago wamackie, a notorious anti nix forumer over on 442, and myself had a little wager on the nix license situation. Payment is well past due and he's offered to either buy a kids season pass to the nix or donate to a YF charity. 

A charity is probably more productive, as much as buying a seasons pass is poetic. So, despite temptation, I've chosen the charity solution.

I guess Yackall isn't doing a givealittle / season pass thing this year, so wheres the best place for him to donate?

Matt, thanks for the list. 

Yeah sorry for lack of updates on that front. Was going to be posting something soon. With the funds we still have, the #FeverDreams fund for RMHW is still healthy so wasn't going to ask this year as to let people donate to other things rather than have more money sitting there.

If they can, the Wellington City Mission along with their Top 10 will also be collecting cash, so be nice if it can go there. Details for donations should be coming throguh soon.

With game day not far away now, just bumping this. Boxes for collection are now also at Backbencher and Four Kings!

We are also auctioning off this signed Wellington Phoenix shirt here with all money going to City Mission http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/sports-memorabilia...

Matt, will the collection points be on the concourse around 6pm? My boy's in the junior club parade & has to be there at 6:15, and would be cool if he could make donation on way in.

Hey Man, yes we are setting up before the gates open so will be there. That is awesome that he wants to donate as well, cheers

Nothing on stuff, nothing in the dompost website. I just new we should have gotten Moss to boof some chick in the parapalegic toilet at the airport to get some headlines and attention.

Anyway, Matt, any indication on how much was raised?

Yeah, so we didn't get a lot of support from the newspapers not for a lack of trying. The Hutt News was very nice and printed an ad for us on their back page but from Dom Post we just go a very little blurb in the Capital Day page.

Despite all that, we did really well. Don't have the numbers yet but they are very happy with the food they collected and we collected more cash than last season as well. So thank you to everyone that donated.

Thank you to everyone who donated and the people that helped collect the donations.

While it would have been nice to have an article before the collection to advertise it, at least the newspaper acknowledge the work Yellow Fever and LFC Wellington did for the City Mission

Great work

Brilliant, didn't know it was going to be in there let alone the front page.

Starting XI

It’s the 11th season of the Wellington Phoenix and to celebrate Yellow Fever and LFC Wellington have teamed up again to support The Wellington City Mission!

You can get involved by donating cash or one of our top 11 most-needed items at the Wellington Phoenix season opener against Adelaide United on Sunday 8 October. All game day donations will put you in the draw for prizes!

You can also drop your donation off at Four Kings or Backbencher.

Thanks for your support!

Heard a few things about the #7, Afghan winger who used to be at Nice, prone to crumbling when put under pressure!

The goal keeper is good at spreading the defence

That's a stink no.8

You won't get pasta our defence

No. 9 can help the backroom staff by treating injuries

#3 has a sweet left foot

Tyler Boyd at RB is an interesting call

No nutmeg?

So what is everyone bringing? Thinking I’ll go a bit different and bring deodorant. It’s also number 8 in the starting XI - Paul Ifill. 

two bags for ya Matt, plastic ones to offend the environmental lobby ;-)

Game day, looks like weather will hold. Hope to see you on the concourse!

How did it end up Matt?

Another really successful food drive and collection for the Wellington City Mission, they pass on their thanks to everyone who donated.
