In The Zone - The End

Great idea.  It has been previously suggested but not well received

On Hard News point about people not knowing when games are, I do struggle to believe that really has a genuine impact on crowds.  Surely everyone who is likely to go to a game knows when they are on?? 

Or at least can google it and find it the answer in 30 seconds.

Terry, bless him in n his day had council convinced to stick up his flags all over town. Unless you were some sort of dumb ass, it got you asking if there was a game on.....I miss Terry. ...not his money of course!

He misses his money.

Yeah I was looking for the nix flags and all I saw was WOW everywhere.

The best advertising is always going to be by the media, maybe they should start wining and dining the top sports journalists.

Someone posted a link to the CCM website where they had a live stream of training and then interviews with Moss and Roux, I know it's only going to appeal to the core fan base but it demonstrates how the nix are lagging behind even the other small clubs when it comes to engaging the fan base.

The obvious lesson we are slowly learning here is that Welnix do not really give a shit about the already established hardcore fans, otherwise we wouldn't have been treated to yet another edition of the Birdie dance. I wish Tony was still here running the show. Everyone knew what was going on and fans were treated with respect. He would have kept Gareth quiet too. He must be just about due for another outburst shortly.

Have you thought that some people may actually enjoy that kind of entertainment LG?

I'm sure there's a few children out there that do.

the birdie dance doesn't negatively affect my experience whatsoever. It's not my thing, but am sure some kids like it so who cares. 

Bring back the Cross Bar Challenge!!

When all that shit is going down is when I'm lining up for beer anyway.

My point being, that just because you may not like the entertainment, doesn't mean they club are treating us/you like shit. 

It's coming back.

I just ignore the birdie dance. Did they even do it at the Perth game?

Think I remember it before the game?

Thought bubble football was good halftime entertainment. 

That was funny, one guy was taking everyone out.

Good stuff as usual fellas and nice work with the CCM fan interview. Nice to have an opposition view.

The OFC were even talking about setting up their own channel on Freeview I think - however the level of production that I've seen from the OFC is not to the level that we would want for the A-League.

Who paid for that do you know?

This guy has been listening to the Pod: http://footballcentral.com.au/the-phoenix-are-here...

Patrick please add a button so I can click "This" more than once.

#InTheZone V136 is out at yellowfever.co.nz/podcasts.

The pod covers all the Round 2 action including Michael McGlinchey extracting revenge via a 2-1 victory over Central Coast Mariners, before previewing this weekend's fixture with help from the Squadron's Grant Furner. In other news, Tommy Smith breaks his sabbatical and Exodus Team Wellington claim the first silverware of the season.

What's a real fan?

Not you, it seems. 

or you could start your own forum + podcast? For the real fans?

Get Matt & Brandon on there for an indepth interview!!

Smith: Come on Boxey swallow

2nd Best: Be a Lady

Best Outtake EVER

They had a guest fan on a couple of podacasts ago. The bloke who went to the preseason game in the Gong. 

And people ripped into him...

I'll buy a beer to the person who can guess what he was eating.

Well done to Tracey for her win betting on the Nix too.

On a serious note, I did think about doing a 'know you zoners' section where I'd interview someone in the zone at halftime. But it would have required to be sober so I flagged it.

As an aside, why no Patrick and Wilso? I see they are 'moderators'. Are they not part of YF or am I missing something. I find their posts to be relatively common sensical so would they not add to it or is that too many folk and opinion to put into an hour
