Just been thinking about this: Has there ever been in NZ a supporters club/movement that can match Yellow Fever?
I think it is just fantastic, look at what the guys that set it up (and us) have achieved in a short space of time:
A couple of 1000
members;
National ( and international) media recognition
( radio, tv, newspaper);
Buy in to the concept by the club;
The players love us (or are scared not sure which yet);
Buy in by the media;
Set the standard for other sports supporters to
try and match;
Along with club have got people talking about
football;
Sepp Blater and FIFA love us;
Fanaticism that NZ sport has not really seen before;
Public recognition;
Bars competing for our patronage (thanks to them all) and all wanting to serve us cheap beer;
Retail support (yay Champs sports etc.);
Bullys are afraid of us ;
The ladies all want us and men want to be us
(ok maybe I�m hopeful or
it could even be the other way round) ;
A big thanks to those that started this (inspired move guys) and a group hug for us all being so great. Roll on Sunday.

I agree with all you've said, apart from Sepp Blater loving us -
who cares, he's a bloomin crook!!!!

Don't forget the number of foreign eccentrics from the other side
of the world.
