Footage from the World Cup Qualifier Play-off between Bahrain and New Zealand at Westpac Stadium in Wellington. The tradition of the local Wellington Phoenix FC supporters club (Yellow Fever) is to take their shirts off at the 80th minute of the game if their team is leading at this time. The New Zealand All Whites lead Bahrain 1-0 going into the vital final 10 minutes of this vital fixture.

Here are the rules of the tradition:

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.
