[quote=alexbrae@thespinoff]When the final whistle blew, I was desperate for more. It wasn’t even that it had finished 1-1 – that seemed like a fair result. It was just that the frenzy had set in during the last half-hour of the game, and it was impossible not to get swept up in it. The Yellow Fever were singing, the huge walk-up crowd of casual fans were hanging on every kick. Perhaps a thousand people stayed behind afterwards, to get a last glimpse and maybe a selfie with a player.
Random blogger who has been a super casual football punter excited and interested enough by team form to get along and write it up? That's a win.
Gotta welcome people to the fold rather than be hipster about it. His knowledge about the Nix is the headline stuff- and lets be honest we have a mixed history and a lot of kicking from Stuff/TVNZ etc when we're down.
Re-read it- that impending doom line is some BS. More like we have to fight for anything and everything we get. But the above isnt too bad from a media model with limited stylistic credibility, an often morally compromised business model and a goldfish bowl turnover.
Plus I think their offices are right next to your Morningside Tavern.
