Obviously Sydney should be banned from ever holding the finals again.
IMHO Wellington would be a far superior location

Well it's coming fast folks. Sunday is the big night.

The Yellow Fever end of season prize-giving and the A-League grand final. Come and join us at the Four Kings from 18:00 on Sunday night for what promises to be a great evening. Host Miles Davis is giving his voice a final work-out on Radio Sport today before jetting down to join us (thanks to friends of the Fever, the Portland Hotel).

Voting continues through Friday for the Scholarship and in to the weekend for the other awards : http://www.yellowfever.co.nz/awards.asp

Any and all Fever welcome

While tickets are still available from the Four Kings, RYOS on Lambton Quay and of course Champs Sports, any and all Fever are welcome at the Four Kings for the match (you just miss out on the meal, drink and the prizes from RYOS on Lambton) and celebration of the season. Come on down

The Big match

It's all come down to this; one game to determine who is Australasia's best. And it must be said that it's refreshing for the competition to see neither of the big city sides involved.

After some emotional roller-coasters in the finals series we've finally come to the big one. Central Coast 'host' Newcastle Jets at the Sydney Football Stadium. There is a pile of questions to be answered in this: Will the officials make a hash of it (again)? Will the pitch hold up to a day of Rugby League the day before? Will Joel Griffiths Punch an official? Will Sash Petrovski say something lucid?

As is often the case in Grand Final football, expect both sides to play it safe at the back early on. However, once it warms up, this game should turn into a 'corker beauty' with chances, goals, filthy challenges and cards galore.

The Mariners will adopt their usual high-tempo, direct approach and seek to get the ball forward to the power and skill of John Aloisi and Saso Petrovski as early as possible. Newcastle are more likely to play on the break via Mark Bridge, Joel Griffiths and overlapping fullbacks Matt Thompson and Tarek Elrich. This is likely to cause problems for an often porous Mariners back four.

Based on the matches to this point in the finals series (apart from those involving Sydney) it should be an absolute cracker from 19:00 on Sunday night.

Remeber folks, all welome at the Four Kings on Sunday, ticket or not. Come and catch up with your fellow Phoenix fans and enjoy the match and the hospitality.

That's all from us - see you on Grand Final night!

Cheers,
Yellow Fever

And that is why, WE SING IT LOUD

Sharing some local news all good banter, but shows just how far the A-league is reaching

Jets to be honoured with flyover

To celebrate the Newcastle Jets appearance in the A-League Grand Final this Sunday, there will be a flight of RAAF FA-18 Hornet jets making a low level pass over the Sydney Football Stadium.

The flight will originate from the RAAF base in Williamtown, which is just north of Newcastle.

Squadron Leader Alan Evan said: �Everyone at the base is gunning for the Jets, and we wish them well on Sunday against the Central Coast Mariners. The flight will also be a spectacular event over the skies of Sydney, and will be a great addition to all the other sporting and entertainment activities in Sydney this weekend�.

Meanwhile, on the Central Coast, there are advanced plans for the Royal Australian Navy to conduct a 21 gun salute and test firing of Stinger missiles off the coast.

Central Coast Mariners benefactor John Singleton dispelled rumours that there is a connection with the flyover and the RAN exercise. �It is a total coincidence that the navy salute and test firing exercise is timed for when the flyover occurs.� he said.

hopefully (for the sake of the aircrew's families) the headline
 
"Jets blown away by Mariner's missiles", will only apply to events on the pitch
