Phoenix Sponsorship

You should of got Jim's permission first before posting this.

Just accept it for what it is, if you dont understand what it is - just accept it for what you dont know it is.

So people are surprised the term was used because they don't know exactly what yellow fever is? Because that's what I'm confused about.

One moment it's just the name of the collective group, the next it's a name managed by the exec.  Is the exec a synonym for who people call the YF elite? As this is legit the first page I've heard this term.

Personally when I saw the email I didn't think YF had endorsed anything, I thought they were just using a pun as a nod to the supporters group and as support to the club.

Fair enough I guess.

I can just understand where there is confusion on where and how the name of the group can be used and who the group is depending on certain situations. 

  there are a bunch of people who do/organise stuff (banners, website, merch, comms, commercial, charity, tours, etc). They have put their hand up to help out. That is who I'm saying is the 'exec'. In general most of the  decisions are made by them. If you look at the hui thread, there is a slide on who they are. Othertimes, we seeks thoughts/direction from others (usually hui and here on the  forums).

ignore him. He's trolling

I figure it is that there are a bunch of people who organise some stuff, during which they contact the club (tifos for example). 

As a result I guess the club develops an informal relationship with a few fans. 

When the club wants to seek fan opinion, one of the ways would be to ask said fans what they think the general opinion or reaction of fans might be (there would be other ways too like going through this forum, market research etc). Said people discuss it,  form a consensus which they take back to the club. 

As for the email, I was just surprised they used Yellow Fever as the Phoenix makes more sense to me to have used. 

Drunk_Monk - This is from the 2015 Hui and talks about the "exec" from about a minute in.  Have a watch of the whole thing though, it's good.

Don't think the 2016 Hui ever made it to You Tube, but I'm pretty sure some of the roles had changed since the 2015 one.  Would encourage you to go to the 2017 Hui if you get a chance to get a better understanding of things.  I've always taken the view that the "exec" are the people who do the behind the scenes stuff which actually make the fever tick.

Thanks I'll give the Hui a watch, I've wanted to attend one for a while but life gets in the way each time.

I suppose this scenario would sum up a bit better how I'm trying to understand it:

If 100 people who sing in the yellow fever zone, read these forums regularly and contribute financially to initiatives frequented a bar before games.   If the bar asked them if he could put up a sign saying they drank there and they said yes so he out up a little sign saying "join yellow fever here before the games" or "yellow fever drinks here before the game".

My question is would the ex oppose the sign?

I.e are those feverites yellow fever? Or would the exec oppose it because the "right" yellow fever wasn't there?

Best if you PM me Drunk Monk. This is going way off topic.

Budgie ???? Is that you ???

OMFG I have found a new topic for the next Jerry Springer Show.

Also this thread needs more shambles or it would not be a true YF thread

I've seen videos of attractive girls doing their thing with gear sticks and hand breaks and they don't end up being victimised throughout the internet. 

Anyway, Garage Project won't be on the kit.

I bet a fair bit of it will end up on my kit, based on previous experiences.

Phoenix new sponsor McDonalds. (Must have liked our work with Ronald McDonald House....)

Will be on the sleeve and interesting to see they are going with that Call it Live app again. Hope it gets a good update as was horrible to use.

Will still be better than KFC on the kit, sad sponsor though.

I think the sponsor makes sense, been promoting grassroots football for years and has a good chance to open it up to a wider NZ audience. 

After match function venue sorted. Boom

Victory have weight loss program as front of kit sponsor and KFC as an arm sponsor for a nice juxtaposition

What could we have to balance McDonalds?

Beer

The supersize me documentary?

ew

That's one sponsor that I won't be supporting - although I probably will in the middle of the night after a few too many Aro Noirs, and then immediately regret it.

I hope Maccas open up a servery in the stadium. Spotless would be bankrupt within 10 minutes.

They will shoot Big Macs, Fries and Ketchup at halftime instead of T-Shirts. Phoenix have some great name as sponsors and McDo with all the grass roots football fits 100% Will get the brand exposed to more fans.

A balanced diet is a big mac in each hand. 

When I was in Thailand, McDs sponsored the national team. They'd have a booth outside Rajamangala Stadium for internationals, and sellers wandering up and down the aisles (like RoF's doughnut sellers) during the game. Always looked like they were making a killing.

I want to try the new Kim Kartrashian burger. Two big buns surrounding a small meat pattie.

Do we still have a pub sponsor? Last year was the Bethel Woods but I heard they weren't doing it anymore. So where are after match drinks occurring, where do the players go?

Still at Bethels.

And i presume Backbencher prior to the game?

Most definitely.

Fast Burner.

Carl's Junior to give balance between burgers and real burgers.

McDonalds - official hangover cure of the Phoenix

Garage Project launching their new Phoenix beer tomorrow at the Roar game - it's a golden ale called 433. 

will they let people keep an empty can as a souvenir?
