Sky Sport promo - a casting call for stars!

I think this is awesome that they are doing something for it. Sorry I won't be there!!

What about that time a week ago when you said that you tell girls that your name is Dale Warburton when you are drunk? That's pretty much calling 2ndBest out.

Although it helps pass this god awful off season doesn't it ?

I've enjoyed a service, yes. But any attempt by sky to advertise (and just generally do) football better is something I encourage. Im hopeful that sky can change. So I don't really understand what you're on about, and why you thought of me. 

I drink coke but that doesn't mean I'd be against being in an ad for Pepsi (which I don't like as much). 

Having said that, my first reaction was to cringe. Hopefully it's well done. 

Not to mention how creepy that is. 

Anyway...Have you had many volunteers for this ad or will I have to start going to the gym for the next 2 weeks?

Ugh. Double post.

And it's not even school holidays yet...

Gym.

Seriously - if anyone else is keen to be involved, flick me an email to patrick@yellowfever.co.nz. At the moment it's just going to be myself, Ballane, and a few others.

Any ideas on time, locations? Asking cause I work in Newtown and that would make a difference on if I can get there etc.

Unfortunatly not, the Sky Sport team are filming with Wellington Rugby on the same day who are being slack in replying due to some rugby game that is apparently important this weekend. 

My suggestion would be to email me anyway so you'll be one of the first to find out when we have the details locked in.

Fine I sent you an email...

Three words: Marsh, McLennan, Christchurch.

at the welly windmall Brooklyn heights overlooking the city ?

Just because he disagreed with you in that thread 2 years ago you go to these lengths to try and take potshots?

Bizarre.

The locations need to be:

• Fritz's Weiner stand
• Blanket man's old spot,
  
• Hanging with the old tennis ball juggling dude
  
• Asian Haven
  
• cuddling a pigeon
  
• Wainuiomata
  

stomping in the bucket fountain

I'll drop you an E-mail tomorrow.

Have kept away from this place during the off season. Had a little look this morning and saw this thread.

It's easy to be a hater.

What's your better idea then?

But how about maybe a montage of some of the fantastic goals we have scored over the years

Hate away on that if you like. I won't be offended or guttered if you do because your opinion just like mine is perfectly valid. I won't even ask you if you have a better idea

Show Gareth chasing some Cats.

Actually how about not doing this promo, take the money saved (and with a couple extra bags of bling), add it to the miniscule tv rights you pay so you, Sky TV,  can continue to come up with lame promos for the Nix for 10 more years

Rights are relative to viewer numbers, promos generally amongst other things increase viewer numbers, need an calculator?

So what Sky pays is fair and ample? Thumbs up.

Plus the amount of money a promo like this costs Sky wouldn't make a lick of difference to the A League tv rights deal. It's not like Sky are spending hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars on filming a few guys taking their shirts off.

I understand what it would cost to make a promo like this, I know it's not much. 

I just think if Sky are serious about promoting the Nix/A League then they should be looking at the rights deal (if as reported it's a sticking point for the FFA to extend the Nix license) so they have a product to promote beyond this season. 

I don't believe the sum they pay is fair, but I'm not saying it needs to be a multimillion dollar deal either.

Fair to who? They obviously value it an amount and if they can't get more viewers they are not going to significantly increase what they pay

Yes the FFA should be promoting the A-League, Welnix should be promoting the Phoenix team

There's plenty of threads on the forum for discussion like that. This isn't one of them.

Sounds like the plan is to record a bit in the Fever Zone in the stadium at 11am next Wednesday. Everyone is welcome,  to make it look like it's an actual matchday. Just wear something Phoenix/Fever.

So... no Liverpool rugs then?

Damn, the one day I am working 8-5. Tuesday would have been fine, Thursday and I am rostered off work.

I should be able to make it with my two boys . free parking ?

For anyone going today to the stadium i have just phoned them and its okay to park there.You have to go up the ramp then park to the left of stadium reception.

How did it go guys?

Brilliant the sky guys said they could get rid of 20 kilos and add a six pack. If they end up using the stuff from the cable car you wont recognize me this season as i will be in disguise.LOL

Photoshop is a wonderful tool sometimes.

Any idea when this will start airing?
