Kia ora whānau

Since 2007, Yellow Fever have provided a platform for football fans (and relatives of aspiring players) to talk all things football. We’ve expanded our media empire, firstly with In The Zone podcast, and then with the officially slightly more successful, Phoenix City, and now with Fever FM.

Unfortunately, both the website and the podcast incur ongoing running costs.

We’ve done our best over the years to self-fund these through merchandise sales and online advertising. Mostly this has worked well, but there have been times where there has been a shortfall which we have covered out of our own pockets.

With the demise on traditional online advertising (thanks google and facebook!), financial shortfalls have become more regular to the point where merchandise sales can’t keep up.

To provide a more consistent income stream to pay for our regular costs, we’re looking to you to make a contribution through our Patreon page. We’ve sent up a bunch of tiers starting at $2per month. Find it at https://www.patreon.com/theyellowfevercrew

At the moment we are covering about half of our monthly costs with existing patreons. 

By becoming a patron you’ll be covering:
  • ongoing website hosting costs
  • ongoing podcast recording and hosting costs
  • Tifo costs when we get some inspiration (See: Lazer Kiwi).
And just to confirm, the back office crew do not, and will not, receive any kind of remuneration.

So please consider it. Please!

Happily. Truly appreciative of all the hard mahi and hours the good YF elite men and women have put in on the forums and in the stands since 2007. It wouldn’t be supporting the Phoenix without the Yellowfever.

The best argument about financially supporting the YF in this way is that I already do so. Do you want to be less of a YF supporter than annoying, Left-wing, grumpy Doloras? DIDN'T THINK SO

Sorry, got new credit card and haven’t updated. 

Heard that Patreon takes excessively high fees? Or is that not true for a non-profit?

But if so is there a way to do it with less ticket clipping?

Paid now.
What's not to like? It is like paying rent / mortgage, for your home away from home.

Note sure what their fee is but think thr only way around it would be setting up an automatic payment into our bank account.

Eh went ahead and fixed the credit card dets. Automatic payment probably would’ve been better, but maybe it’s easier everything going through Patreon…
