Rumour??

Only a fool would believe that. Have a look at the A-League partners and it is obviously just a silly rumour that only an idiot would post.

How about this Vader. 

If its true I wont post on the forums for 3 months.

If its false you will crawl back under your rock and not post for 1 month.

Have you got the balls?

You still trying to be a bully JV!

I made the bet with you, you accepted, nothing to do with the mods or anyone else.

You stated the Phoenix had a new sponsor on board, a famous beer brand.

That's not so, check their website if you don't believe me.

You've clearly lost so bye bye.

See you back in a month

Hardly scared JV.

You choose to ignore posts that you dont like!

[quote=nightz]

JV

Fact: Carlsberg are NOT a sponsor of the Wellington Phoenix

I'll take the clubs word for it, not your warped mind.

Bye Bye

Why let the mods mediate when the club already has.

Cause you are scared and you know it. If you thought you were right, you would be all over it. Have a bit of honour and dignity about you cause you are embarrassing yourself.

Interesting to note this is the new offical bar of the Phoenix and will include buses to and from the game.

does the fact it is called the Carlsberg Football United Tour count for anything?

No it dosent Feverish, 

the bet was "sponsor of the Phoenix" 

and according to the club when JV claimed his win they weren't a "sponsor of the Phoenix"

JV knows that.

Wellington Phoenix General Manager David Dome said the Club is thrilled to be partnering with one of the world’s preeminent beer brands.

"Partnering with Carlsberg is a huge coup for the Club.

"They are one of the great football beer brands and have relationships with a number of leagues, competitions and Clubs around the world.


Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Carlsberg country manager Kristina Rasmussen said the brand is proud to partner with the Phoenix.

"Carlsberg has more history, heritage and relevance to football than any other beer brand in the World. And now, we are proudly the official beer of Wellington Phoenix".

"Wellington Phoenix is characterised by its fans, Yellow Fever who, every week, will be subjected to nail-biting football as they watch their team endure heartbreak and glory and with mesmerising performances on the pitch alongside jaw-dropping goals and unbelievable saves, Carlsberg - ‘probably the best beer in the World’ - will be there every minute of every match which is sure to surpass all expectations."

As part of the relationship, Carlsberg will be available for purchase on game day.

I am sure she meant to say:

"Wellington Phoenix is characterised by its fans, Yellow Fever who, every week, will be fired up and very vocal due to having drunk shitloads of our product..."

To be clear... wherever I have posted "Wanna bet?" (and I have done so on numerous threads) it has been an attempted humourours reference to the Nightz vs. Jeff Vader bet, and has not been intended to indicate that I thought the person was not right.

Can't wait for the technicalities that come out now - "it's a partnership between the club and Carlsberg, not a sponsorship deal. Bye bye JV"

Best off season thread ever. Next off season's bar is set pretty high. What could we possibly come up with to compete with this?

There was conjecture about whether Carlsberg still had a pre-exsisting contract at CCM
