If you get the train. DO NOT get off at Waterloo Station.
It's a fudgeing long walk up Knights Rd then down Myrtle St.

Get off at WOBURN and walk straight up Massey Ave into the Bellevue.

Smithy, will you still do a few of the offensive ones?

Sometimes stuff can be both offensive AND funny, you know.

I don't agree with this. If you're talking about a situation between a group of friends who know each other then absolutely. But you wouldn't fly to Dunedin wearing a t-shirt with David Bain's face on it. Just be respectful. Believe it or not some people who live in Lower Hutt like the city. It's their home. No one likes it when people disrespect their home.

I live in Lower Hutt. 

I think you're confusing "no one" with "I" in that last sentence.

I'll do them on a preorder basis. Minimum run is 50. Drop your email here Bruce if you're happy to collate the order list. 

That's a serious genuine offer by the way.

Think I'd rather they just took the banner down.

I have asked nicely whose banner it is and who I should talk to about it.

I am not inclined to be very nice about it after the way they treated us over the clubrooms.

You could get Kia to 'sponsor' the Fever.

would Hyundai also have problems with Kia being part of the temporary grounds name, as well as the stands - soul, sorrento etc?

Are many places using the Yellow Fever mark officially for the Hutt games?
Drinks at Bellevue the main one?

Could help cover the YFspendup on that yachit in the harbour.

We aren't dicks about using Yellow Fever. We just like people to chat with us about it first, mostly so we can drive you guys good deals on beersies.

What happened with the clubrooms incident? Did I miss that it was it top secret?

also so you don't get YF name attached to something you don't agree with, or that is questionable.

View from the front row of the Hutt Rec stand.  CRIKEY!

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Nah it was funny, one thing New Zealanders have lost, is the ability to laugh at themselves. Ok to laugh at others though.

Could we rename the Fever Zone, the Trevor Mallard Stand for a piss take?

In order to lose you have to had the ability in the first place. That said (written) LG, the laughing at others bit is true.

Is it just me or is there some sort of wave of places using the Yellow Fever name and/or the Wellington Phoenix logo without official blessing?

https://twitter.com/YellowFever_NZ/status/564530018538098689

I think you should be relatively vigorous in protecting the brand. Otherwise when you DO organise/back something the impact will be diluted.

I do agree.

Just making sure here (again) that people don't think I was OFFENDED by the original t-shirt, just didn't find funny!  And I'm not  from the Hutt either.

Didn't think it was offensive (though some sensitive souls may have thought otherwise), just didn't think was funny really.  Anyway, new ones look good.

Finally - are the seats in the fever zone going to be benches?  That would be preferable to the seats elsewhere by the looks of it. Do we get to invade the pitch for a last minute winner also?
