Without being rude, who is Carey McDonald? I would like to know their efforts.
I am a little puzzled too. I'm sure she is a lovely person and devoted fan. One of these awards went to a Nix fan living in Australia (from memory) and this one has gone to an Aucklandista. I can think of three or four Wellington based fans who should make the cut...maybe for charitable efforts unrivalled in the League, running this forum.
Sort of thing?
A lot make money from other peoples money. Support political parties, nothing humanitairian which is some way, is what Matt does by giving these people a break from the realities of their lives.

hmmm are you referring to the various sports people getting awards ?
For the record, the fan of the year has been around since 2012. Recipients have been:
2012 - Dale Warburton
2013 - Ahmed Rini
2014 - Bruce Lewis
2015 - Nikki O'Connor
2016 - Carey MacDonald
The decision is made by the club. They will have reasons, valid reasons, why they choose who they do.
Matt done magnificent work, everyone at the club and Fever acknowledge that, but lets not marginalize the other fans who've won this award, and what they do to support their club. If you want to know why they were chosen over someone else, send an email to the Nix and ask.
Angrier but more cuddly than a Honey Badger
Just to put my two cents in here, I was thinking about it and really all the work I do is on behalf of the Fever instead of the Nix. While it would be nice to win the award, it is a Phoenix award and I'm sure its about a dedicated supporter of the Nix. At the end of the day, I'm happy with the work that I do for Fever Dreams and the people that won the award over the last few years deserve their recognition too.
Award was wasted in 2012.
You're allowed to marginalize yourself as much as you want ;-)

1000 thises is worth one Phoenix Award anyway.
looking at that list, while I don't know specifically why they won the award, they all deserve it. Except Dale.
Meh. Awards. The abuse I get from News, Smithy etc is more than enough reward for me.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

The Fever dont have awards they just get infected
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
"Most well reasoned and respected poster on the forums goes to... NapierPhoenix!"
was waiting for that.
Guess that puts you in the running for "most predictable poster of the year" award, along with Steve-O after a loss.
I'm always real and consistent in my posts Tegal :) No flies on me mate ;)
After this last season Dale and Tracey deserve some recognition, you both know why from me anyway. I nominate Dean for the most positive influencial fan of the season award. Whilst I appreciate Matts desire to underplay his activities, I can not speak highly enough of his efforts and I am pretty sure the RMH and the people using their services would agree with me.
I remember in the early years of our existance attending an awards ceremony at the 4 Kings, Bevan will remember the one. It was fun.
Dude, what you do deserves a knighthood unlike some other recipients of them.
I thought LG was talking about people given knighthoods here not past recipients of the Phoenix award.
Exactly Christo, exactly.

If Roly had scored that one against Melbourne at the Auckland sandpit, surely would have been #1 for the season.

Roly's long range strike against Adelaide back when there was still hope for our season was the A League website's 5th best goal of the season.

Some cracking goals on that list. I watched Nichols' curling effort over and over again.
