Hi everyone - I'm a newb to this forum but not to following the team.  The match against the Victory on Sunday was the most exciting game of any code I've seen live for a long time!
 
I belong to the University Raiders football team (Div 7 in Wellington).  Its our 20th anniversary season (we still have a couple of founding members still playing and the youngest player is 32) and we are planning a big end-of-season occasion based around the Phoenix game against Adelaide on 22 Sep. 
 
Its our tradition to dress in black tie and so far there are 15 of us planning to be at the game. We'll obviously have the black in the Phoenix strip sorted but any suggestions on how best to show our support in colours on the day? 
 
And obviously we should get seats in the yellow fever section and head to the BB before the game...
 
Are there discounts for blocks of tickets and supporters scarves or the like?  We aren't poor but we obviously want to have enough money spare for refreshments

In terms of attire, Madhouse would suggest Yellow dishwashing gloves
 
for discounts -  get a fever card - there's a thread here somewhere on how to do that
 
(from memory it only took an email to Hardnews - but my memory's variavle -best you check)

Link to get a fevercard on the YF home page.
 
You could all get Retro Ricki's and wear them under your tie and jacket (instead of a white shirt).

Black tie would look good with yellow scarves and hats IMHO.

Black tie with yellow dishwashing gloves would look classic, got to be done!

Someone should tell the $2 shop to stock up on yellow dishwashing gloves.  I sense a demand surge!

I know, I know, its serious!

Ha!  Thanks, guys! I like the idea of the dishwashing gloves!  Would go well with yellow beanies and Retro Rickies...
 
And I'll look into getting yellow fever cards for everyone.
