Well i'm addicted...

Well i'm addicted...

Tonight's match was my first live football event, unless you count playing back in high school....well I'm now officially addicted! LOVED IT! Took a chance on buying a season pass, only justifying it by saying I'm a "general sports fan" (with an egg chasing background), but now see it as the best investment I made all year. Only regret is that the Johnsonville line was out of action for part of the day leaving me too late to get to the Backbencher in time to meet anyone! I moved from platinum covered seating to the YF Zone at half time and wished I was there from the start. I think I'm gonna enjoy this...    

as far as I'm concerned there's no other game in this solar system that can do what football does

5,500 is bloody good for preseason. I reckon you could be looking at 12,000 + for the first game. 

i was the same, i was sittinbg at half way and getting funny looks for my outbursts. moved to the zone at half time and a great time. Good friendly people with passion supporting phoenix.

Yellow fever kicked off big time last night, another good turn out for the boys in yellow, and chanting all our new songs out was amazing. I think all meeting at the backbencher for each game is a great idea, if last night was anything to go by, then we will have one hell of a season.

ye there was dis bald dude at half way english guy he was a crak up. Chanting bout himself. Im sure hes an ex premiership liverpool fan who could lead yellow fever.

i remember him from the 1st game i sat next to him, he's a crack up, but the chants are great in the yellow fever zone.

get that man in the Fever zone! though it is good that he is exposing the seat-sitters to a few chants

haha he was awesome. Look for a bald stocky dude. He knows all these chants from premiership and at one point started chanting for liverpool.

brilliant. thats the sort of people we want.

I will be bringing about 5 guys from my work to our second home game, they will soon be footy fans as well.

My first time watching the Phoenix too. I've been plugging them on the show but can't do more because of exclusive marketing. Maybe I can interview one of the fever after each and before each game. I was impressed with no.3 last night - someone buy him a beer, good teamwork. I'm going to see all the games from now on. Sucked in Auckland haha

good on ya !  I'll listen out for you on streaming audio - http://www.muntfm.co.nz/streamingPopup.html

Spread the word in the Manawatu 

Im under 18 so I miss out on backbencher... DAMN!!! Got my season pass in YF though

Yeah I sat rite behind that dude....he was a crackup..various peeps tried to copy his hand clap noise he was making.  I think most people were thinking WTH as he was the only one in that area on vocals. Boro4eva2007-08-15 08:15:39

haha yeah that hand clap noise was crazy

Well I won't be at a game until Phoenix vs the scum in Melbourne but I'm 110% on-board and pumped to buggery about this season. Can't wait to get my hands on a kit with SMELTZ on the back.

Dear Phoenix,

I renounce all others (except Wimbledon, not even my own mother is more important) and pledge myself to you for life.

Love,

Some Idiot.
