Hey Feverites

Sky Sport have approached us, they want our help in making the Phoenix promo video for next season!

They are centering their promo around the 80th minute shirts off phenomenon, and want to film Phoenix fans taking their shirt off and waving them above their head in various well-known locations around Wellington. They'll use this footage as well as footage they have shot on matchdays to put together the final product.

Filming would take place on Wednesday July 15th, and we'd love to have as many of you as possible, even though it is on a work day. It would also be great to hear any ideas you might have in regards to locations and situations that we could get our shirts off too.

If you are interested in taking part or if you just want more information - flick me at email at patrick@yellowfever.co.nz and I'll pass your details along to the team at Sky.

Cheers!

What does it pay? Will Sky provide makeup artists to draw abs on us?

You'll take your shirts off if they promise to support the game better.

We (the club) have the choice to generate ads ourselves.

Sure. If you can't beat them, join them. I'm sure plenty of mindless ABs fans would start watching us if those two told them to.

Abdominal muscles might help us get the ladies along too.

Look the FFA are such cods they don't fund a single cent to promote the A-League in NZ unlike the millions they spoend in Aus.  At least Sky for all their flaws are making an effort to sell the game and promote the team and the competition.  

Bring your fat arses and embrace what will no doubt a fudgeing shark Wellington day.

I vote for Shirts Off on the Cable Car, in Wellington Library and in front of the NZRU building!

I think it is a decent idea, although acknowledge that if it is done badly, it could be truly, truly awful.

You could have people in an office all take their shirts off and celebrating when the clock hits 16:50 (or whenever 10 minutes to go in the workday generally is), people waiting for a cable car all taking their shirts off and celebrating when it arrives, last orders in a bar (although you probably want to avoid the link between football fans and drinking), etc

That might be expected, but YF does not have an entire Television network and all its associated expertise at hand.

Glad they are going to use the fat blokes rather than some ring ins with abs as thats the people who have kept this tradition going in ALL weathers since its start in Sydney.

Or would you rather it was 2nd Best?

I don't know why you always randomly call me and 2B out for various things, but....No, I won't be. Not unless they're very desperate.

Tegal, check my history I haven't called 2nd best out for many years. 

I also don't randomly call you out but only with good reason. 

You have always been the  love child of some online random provider so I was interested if you were going go get your kit off for the competition or be left online.
