Yellow Fever demise?

I've noticed the numbers dwindling as we reached and all time low yesterday. The Phoenix need the Yellow Fever as much as Wellington needs the Nix.

There'd be all sorts of reasons why this has happened, but how can numbers get up again? Two bays full would be great!

i guess with the team not having good home form and losing the majority of home games the public are not getting behind them, also some on here have stopped going to games for the same reason and as the crowds dwindle the atmosphere also lessens and the appeal that used to get people to join in with the fever and buy tickets in the zone also lessens, not sure there is much that can be done to increase the size of the zone until the team start winning a lot more home games and the crowds return

there were less people in general at last nights game. A % of that will always be people who sit/stand in the feverzone. 

When we had 10k earlier in the season it was twice as full in the feverzone as last night.

I can tell you, the quality of humour in the zone has kept itself to a very high standard. Well where I stand anyway. The people around me have been brilliant this season.

Last night was a whole lot of fun. I actually kinda liked the smaller, more compact Zone. Easier to start chants and have everyone join in.

Good to see on TV 1 sports news they had a photo background of that kid last night that had his shirt off for the lad's starting from half time. the kid is the future of football for us as far as fans go. We need parents and children to come along and hopefully next season will see a change in our fortunes on and off the field.
