Reebok Yellow Fever Awards Night - 09/10

All about the coups us.

Also expecting most of the non-AW's nix squad, and some unique Phoenix video footage.

Ugh, so keen to go.. I would be such a loner though haha

Rubbish we're friendly.

I'm sure you chaps are.

Ahhh... Will try to get my flatmate to tag along, he should feel obliged, he did come to all matches with me last season the prick.

Bigtobz and Paulinho both have permission from their better halves to attend so we shall be there. Is the booze free?

We're at mutual prick understanding toward each other

Me, him and another mate or two are hoping to get season passes in feverzone for first time since we started going to nix games which is back when it started.. all the way back when we were in college haha.

He told some guy to stop bothering Dadi in Maya once, f**king legend for that.

Might be some free, will be discounted at the very least.

We're a little short on cash currently is the only reason why.

Reebok Yellow Fever Awards Night 2010

On Saturday night Yellow Fever's good friends The Backbencher Caf� and Bar are hosting the Reebok Yellow Fever Awards Night.

This is the 3rd Annual event of its type and is a chance for Yellow Fever and Reebok to celebrate the Phoenix�s fantastic season in the Hyundai A-League over the summer of 2009/2010. The evening will see the awarding of all the usual awards including the prestigious Yellow Fever Player of the Season and the Retro Ricki Youth Scholarship.

The Yellow Fever Player of the Season is selected by the Fever�s fans who vote after each Phoenix match for their most valued player in that game. These results have been collated to get the overall winner for the season. Past winners are Shane Smeltz (2007/2008) and Leo Bertos (2008/2009).

The Retro Ricki Yellow Fever Youth Scholarship gives one lucky young footballer the chance to be a Wellington Phoenix player for a week. Last year�s winner Marco Rojas took that opportunity with both hands and turned it into his first ever professional contract, so it is an exciting time for the half dozen young finalists.

Apart from the excitement of the Awards, the Backbencher will have their big screen running with some special footage from the season. There�ll be some food, a few drinks, and a bunch of Phoenix players and fans for you to catch up with. And, of course, there�ll be prizes from our excellent sponsors Reebok, RYOS and Euan McCabe. Big Ups too to our BIG friends VidCom and their star man Coxey.
 

So drag your team down after you've finished at the clubrooms (or get them together after the cancellation) as this is the essential way to kick off your Saturday night out. Proceedings kick off at 6.30pm.

Oh yeah.....and thanks to Coxey and Vidcom too......

Hmmmmmm.....

I regret that I will be absent once more this year, despite being a HUGE YF fan. No its not because I'm scared of Feverish, Hn, Smithy or Marius giving me gyp about Oranje. I'm used to that. No I've had an unmatchable offer from 'er indoors. Go Kieran Vennema for the YF scholarship!( Future Oranje). And my vote for player of the year is Ifill, streets ahead of a quality field.

Smithy added it, I took it out.

Piney is quite good on the game commentary but he is a terrible interviewer, he constantly asks closed questions after making a long statement himself that just beg for a yes or no answer. Really noticeable when he is interviewing younger folk he gets almost no response. 

Home and Away for the win.

Football Show of the year - Destroyed in Seconds.

Thanks for the DIS nod lads! Surprised not to see smithy on the list for his efforts on Monday night though

How is the ownership debated? I started that one fair and square on tour in Melbourne.

Very dark if someone else has claimed this.

sitter organised - me and feverette will be popping along for an evening of fun and frivolity :)

Channel 7

due to Saturday football cancellations - this event will now commence at 11am (not true)

Anyone want to guesstimate numbers for this evening (based on previous years)?.

100+ (hopefully).

If not I'm going to go around beating people tomorrow.
Hard News2010-05-29 09:09:00

I'll be there so thats +1

 

I should be there with my mate, 2+.

It's f*kin cold.


It's f*kin wet.



So lets *all get drunk.





*This relates solely to those of legal drinking age and assumes responsible consumption of alcohol/s. The aftermath of said consumption may well differ.

The only way to not feel the cold is too get alcohol into you so.... like surge said lets get drunk. (note there are other ways.)

What?
Is it raining in Welly?

Ive made the effort to shower today. This better be good.

Feel so honoured Stefan

We have the wind, the rain, and sum Phoenix!
