Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite

Just a question but what is the deal with the Fevercard? Is this the start of a slippery slope where membership of Yellow Fever is subject to being a cardholder and supplying personal details? If you hold personal details what else will they be used for?

I thought this was a direction you guys weren't really keen to take.
 
Not stirring, just curious about whether you see YF evolving into something more formal...

The details are not going to be used elsewhere.  The cards are something that we have created to offer you all cheap drinks and food (and jeans), but from our point of view helps to spread our brand name about (the front of the card says yellowfever.co.nz).  It is only being used for the YFSLP as we have to have a way to organise potentially free drinks in a bar without having hundreds of non fever personal there.

If you need to identify YF members wouldn't it be simpler to just tell the Backbencher staff to give a free-drink to every fat, balding, middle-aged man in the bar who isn't Rodney Hide?
 
Or why not just issue a code word on this website the day before? ("The dog barks at the moon only on a Wednesday" = "Gimme a free drink, I'm a football loving internet geek")
 
OK, fair enough. It's just that as a member of NZ's elite fighting force , the SAS, I am unable to reveal my true identity and will have to buy my own drinks.

The problem with a code word(s), is that after two 'potentially' free drinks, we'd all be arguing at the top of our voices over the exact wording of the code, and no doubt sl*gging off the person who thought of it - well that's if you believe the Dom Post

By recent trends in pub attendance does this mean that The Backbencher is the new official pub of Yellow Fever? They seem to be very accomodating and only about 150m further away that The Thistle Inn.

Its no longer a problem.

Yes
 
by the way
this is what The Occidental sent out to it's loyalty customers:
 
And don't forget that The Occidental is home to The Wellington Pheonix! So come in for a beer before the game, and come back to celebrate with us after! Or if it's just too cold, come in and watch the game by the crackling fire!
 
they spelt Phoenix wrong!

Unfortunate my first forum comment is about pubs and not footie but I'd rate the service at the Backbencher well over the Thistle and the Occidental's comment about the cold proves they should stick to rugby crowds

The Backbencher has also been mailing/emailing Wellington clubs claiming to be the Capital Soccer venue for Phoenix games. Unless it's like the Tardis in there I think there may be some overflow!
 
These pubs will tell you anything to get you through the door but there should be plenty of trade for them all I would have thought.

Maybe there's a secret Tard-esque faction of Phoenix fans that have done a deal with the Occi - we'll call them the OPC - Occidental Phoenix Casuals

The BBC (Backbencher Baby Crew) [ironically all middle-aged balding blokes with beer guts] will get them in line though!
