Maybe wrong thread but keen for others opinions. 
Why is the demographic of AFC Fans / The Port so different to yellow fever?
They seem to be mostly of 20 - 30 somethings. 

Where as lots of football people I talk to in Wellington within that age group don’t associate with the nix at all? And I’d say fever is typically an older crowd. 
Where is that equivalent in Wellington and why are they not getting amongst the fever? 
We’ve also had years of promotions to get gets involved are we not converting them as adult fans?

It results a a very different level of active support 
it is interesting that average age of yf has sort of trended with the age of the club, might happen to the port over time. what the club should have is student discounts for the fever zone, heavily discounted.

Will also add, when yf was setup social media wasn’t like it is now - if yf were to setup now its unlikely we would have a dedicated forum and just be where people already are (fb, discord, insta etc.) I think the forum is great BTW. Its not closed off like private groups or discord channels.
