Watch Friday’s game at the Fever Lounge

Whilst we will be waiting longer  until the new Courtney Place sports bar is ready to use as  the official away venue for YF, we are gonna have a bar that we can call our own in the meantime.

The 'Fever Lounge', as it is to be dubbed,  is located downstairs near the Bungy on Dixon St, and is gonna be open for the Mariners match this  F riday. Matt is working hard at short notice to get the place yellowed up and kitted out with TVs and projectors galore.

Prior to the CCM game (10pm ko), we will show the Nix game from Sunday, including the build full build up.

$4 pints, $8 jugs, and you can even get your BB shirt voucher stamped.

Let us know if you have anything that would be useful to decorate the place in a YF vibe, as it's still a work in progress.   Matt has been one of the staunchest supporters of YF since day 1 and he's come up with the goods once again.  So get along Friday night and catch up with the Yellow Fever crew as the Phoenix seek their first away points of the season.

Sounds great whats the actual pub called?

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

Two Venues,
One home and one Away? Split the purchasing power?

Ideal location for away games.

Currently it's called the underground bar, but by Friday night she'll be packed to the gunnels with TV screens and black and yellow paint...

...she's a work in progress so Matt won't have it completely done by Friday but more than useable for us and finished in the coming weeks.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Brilliant! See you there!

I like the idea of a "home" and "away" bar - makes sense...

Looking forward to meeting you all away from this intyneet...

Sweet, I'll be there, and it's closer to home, so the stagger homewards after the game will be less painful.
 
Top effort Matt

Great work by Matt, especially the cards, I'm well impressed with how YF has formed, but like the footie team I support, I'm fussy about what I drink.  Anybody know what's going to be on tap at the underground bar?  Historically it's been the sort of stuff a only a league fan could drink.

Not sure if there will be boutique beers on tap - but will have bottled beers for the more sophisticated..

Good enough then, at least until up and running properly.  I wonder if Colin Paige can be talked into doing a special Yellow Fever brew.

Unfortunatly until we open properly we will only have Speights , Macs Gold and Lion Brown on tap but I'll make sure that we have a good selection of bottle beers to keep everybody happy.
Thanks to everybody for all the positive feedback! We're looking foward to having everyone down here on Friday.

Hope you all have a good night over there. I'm across in Canberra visited mates at the moment. Looked at heading up the coast for the game but timing is not good for me for Saturday. I'm enlisting all the Kiwis here and we're gonna watch it on a big screen at the local. Should be a bloody good night out.

Go the 'Nix!
