good stuff to all the YFers who came along to enjoy some Oompah Loompah music and get behind the team by watching them on the big screens at the Lounge.

Will have a video up shortly. http://www.yellowfever.co.nz/tv.aspFeverish2007-10-06 15:24:51

ha ha - just watching the video...good work! We had a great time last night, and the atmosphere was electric as always! Great work for organising the Steins & Oktober Fest...still recovering from a big night ;)

Shame about the result, hopefully the boys can turn it around in Newcastle next sunday.

Nothing too serious I hope. And here was I thinking the story in the latest issue of Pandemic was just a marketing ploy for the Fever Lounge... ;-)

Seemed a bit quiet after we went a couple down for most of the match, was trying to carry chants across but they didnt' get far.  Good evening though, lots of fun.  I got told to stop sitting on the tables... but only 5 min from full time?  Better late than never perhaps.

Fever Lounge is a terrible place, completely uninviting, not enough seating, completely uncomfortable, Waited hours for the game and the "german" band was fuucking shiit!! Glass was good, but on what I saw of the venue, It needs a lot of work to become "our" bar. When filled up it had a good atmosphere but again, was very cramped and many people felt uncomfortable. Why can we not use Backbencher for home and away?  Is the new sports bar going to become the new away venue, beacuse really honestly I think the fever lounge is a hole for rejects of society. I was accosted by various low lifes, who werent even there to watch the game. Will not go back, unless a change is made.

Botafogo - Rio de Janeiro and Wellington Phoenix, my two teams til death do us part.

go watch the game at Jet bar whilst sipping your Martini. Its a base while the sports bar is built. Matt gets the sports bar furniture in the lounge next week.There is nowhere else that you could have watched a game that went till 1am plus played the dvds/music that you want. I thought the atmosphere is great there- so do the hundreds who have been there for all three games. The low lifes must have been some Liverpool supporters.

Fair call fella, to answer a few of your questions and defend the lounge a bit...

 

Your obviously not aware of the renovations that are going to be taking place very soon. What we have done is just an interim measure until 'Four Kings' opens in December ( downstairs) and January ( upstairs). We understand that there is a lack of furniture and toilets. The toilets we cant do anything about until we close down to renovate. We will be closing the doors on November 5th. We have had furniture on order for a few months ( the Four Kings furniture) that we hoped would be here last week but wasn't. It will be here this week for sure.

The bar does get cramped but that�s simply due to the amount of people that are wanting to watch the game, I cant do much about that unless I start turning people away which is what happened on Friday.

The bar used to have a rough clientele, we are doing everything we can to keep the 'rejects of society' out and I think we are doing pretty well there. There will always be one or two that slip past the doormen.

I thought the band did OK. They are an Ompah band and that�s the style of music they play. That�s what an 'Oktoberfest is all about. It was meant to be a bit of fun and keen things a little interesting for Yellow Fever. Im sorry you didnt enjoy it.You could PM me some other suggestions if you like.

Please bear with us, We are investing a huge amount of money on this project and I'll guarantee you it will be the sh*t when we are done. Until then i you can bear with us it will be great, if not we would love to see you when we open properly.

I for one would like to thank you for the work you're putting into the place. It ain't the Ritz but I'm there to enjoy the football and the atmosphere is great even if it is hot, cramped, and uncomfortable. My only complaint is that we've only had the pleasure of watching one win at the lounge! Looking forward to the new bar!

Thanks mate, I appreciate that.Most people seem to have a good time and its only going to get better. But its not going to be to everyones liking.
it should be a bit more comforatable this week with the furniture there and we are going to put on a $5 Sunday roast this week ( cooked off site, dont worry!!) as well as the cheap drinks
