Phoenix / Yellow Fever: A-League Round 0.1
almost 19 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Ok, we're reaching the magical 1,000 member mark (albeit a wee bit slowly :-) )
 
Surely, round 0.1 of the 2007 A-League should be taking place soon?
 
By round 0.1, I refer to the presence of every YF member who is able to make the "Local" (i.e. The Thistle Inn) and Way Ho! that's a successful 3 points...Genius!
 
Feverish, HN, james_dean, cnut all you backroom staff lads - the time is upon us to make our presence felt, to prove to sponsors the numbers and $ power we have as a collective unit, to impress on the unsuspecting Wellington public the support there is for the Nix and grease the wheel such that we have a smoothly operating and finely tuned V8 supporter's engine in fine voice and fully fueled to meet the rigours of the season ahead.
 
Can I please have a 'Halleluiah!"
 
I Say, Can I PLEASE have a Halleluiah!"
 
date and time??

Chants and singing is what you do at a match, or on your way to or from a match.

It's not some Glee club that get's together to perform like trained seals.

I think we've finally found our Choir Master...

A game between two local teams ?  So what happens when you have some members of the Fever supporting Miramar and some supporting Olympic and others who follow Stop Out and are not going to cheer for either side ?

Local clubs have local support, the Phoenix is where we all come together to support one team.  Just like the fans of all the NZFC sides come together to support the A-League side.

Besides, over half the fan base will be playing on a Saturday afternoon...

That's the point I think Pavlos.  If the Olympic fans want to bring vocal support to Olympic games all good, but the first place we gather as the Phoenix support is when the Phoenix play.

Pre-Season cup is (possibly) our chance to warm up, but it's the atmosphere of the opener that is going to be our first real test.  We're still 10 weeks from the Cup and 16 weeks from the season, by then we'll have a selection of decent chants to roll in to and see if we can make this fire.

Yeah fair enough. So are we just going to stroll in, in 10 weeks with a sheet of paper never having practiced anything? Or is there going to be some meeting a couple of times? We nned some warm up for the warm up.

OK, maybe to avoid rivalry, increase the number of people able to attend and to make it Phoenix centric, why not just head to the Thistle, May 26th, around 7:00 to kick it all off...???

The banter can continue (re: who won) the aftermatches have been finished, players (dicks) of the day decided and maybe a well deserved pint or two will be downed?

I'm in for a bash at a pub, not a club game somewhere . ..  maybe I misread the frist post. . .  Can someone clarify what's being proposed here. . . . Drinks at the bar, or something else. . .

Agree, what I think I proposed was that we just go to a pub sometime to start the ball rolling...nothing about combining this with watching football etc...
 
I'll leave it in the capable hands of those in charge...feverish?

Just calm down Macca you psycho. Wait till we get some players in town so we can do something properly (or just go hang out down the Thistle.)

I'm happy to start with that. Would be good to at least get aquainted with a few folks to get the ball rolling. . .
