1. Fever t-shirts including the Retro Ricki are only available from RYOS stores around the region. They will be available in Hamilton, Dunedin and possibly Auckland in the near future.  They are $35 (or $31.50 with your RYOS Fevercard) and some of the profits are used to fund the ongoing operations of YF.

2. We are unable to stream live any Phoenix matches due to the broadcasting situation. We will probably not be providing text commentary on matches either, although from time to time we may do a home or pre-season game, as all games are televised live on Sky.

3. The Backbencher, our official home venue, is on the corner of Molesworth Street and Kate Shepperd Place (straight opposite the front of Parliament. If alternative sports are on prior to matches (notably egg chasing) they will be played but it will be on the small screen and the sound will probably be off. The Four Kings, our official away venue, is on the corner of Dixon and Taranaki streets downstairs.

4. To get a RYOS Fevercard click on the link above. Cards get you a discount around town, and a chance to enter special Fever events.  Note : Currently Unavailable

5. The club shop is on the corner of Hunter Street and one of the Quays in the ASB tower.  It's closed.  Google maps will oint you to Hunter Street and it's at the other end from Lambton Quay.

6. Sorry, for artistic integrity we will not be producing a chant sheet. Read the chant forum to learn the words (although most are incredibly simple)!

7. Season tickets and match day tickets are available from Ticketek. We are based between Aisle 22 and Aisle 20 of the stadium (stretching occasionally to Aisle 20 and 19 and beyond). If you'd like to sit with us ask to be in the Fever zone when ordering tickets or season passes. When sitting in the Fever zone please be aware that people have paid for season tickets in the zone and let people have their regular seats on match day. There will be swearing in the Fever zone and people will stand for the whole of the match. Please keep that in mind when booking tickets.

Tickets for an area other than the Fever Zone can be exchanged for tickets in the Fever Zone at the information Kiosk by Aisle 18 as long as the Fever Zone is not already sold out.

8. The Fever Zone tradition is that shirts are removed with ten minutes to go, if the Phoenix are leading.  They will also be removed if the Phoenix go in front during the last ten minutes.  We will not discuss what happens if the score is reversed as that may curse it.  People of delicate disposition may need to take this in to consideration.

9. Seating at Westpac stadium can be seen in the image below.  Rows are from AA to NN going forward from the concourse level to the pitch and rows A to V (or something) going up.  This means rows AA and A are in fact one behind the other.


10,  The Phoenix play in Black and Yellow stripes, the alternate strip (not away strip) is white.

11, Player Contracts:

The best resource for identifying who is signed where is here.   Now Jaza makes no guarantees of accuracy but he is a train spotter about these things so it's pretty close to right.

12. Finally, YF is a community of football fans. We do not have official links with the Phoenix, although we have a strong relationship with the club. We are not a pressure group although from time to time we will speak on behalf of the fans to the club or the media on a particular issue. We are fans like you who do this for the love of the game, we all have day jobs and make no money from the site. Please keep that in mind when asking for us to do stuff!!
