Never Tear Us Apart...

[fishardansin]

Back in 1986/87, they used to play the chorus to this awful song after every goal the Swans scored at the SCG

Pretty f**kin annoying when they booted 30+ goals

That would have been awesome if the girls had their bums miked up and let rip huge farts with this manoeuvre.

You're weird mate

I don't think any Crows fans are disputing that this is better than your current design.

The question is... is ANY Power fan going to acknowledge that this NTUA thing is an EXACT rip off of the Newcastle Jets?

I don't think it counts if there's barely anyone at the game. It's the A league they've tried everything to make themselves seem relevant.
But yes I have heard that the Jets did that. But it's a soccer club at an extremely low level so it's obviously not as famous as Liverpools pre game routine.

Port have adopted this as their own, the club, fans and players love it. What's the harm in adding something like this? Who knows in 5 years time this NTUA could be a regular thing and no one will care. It's good at the moment so let's keep doing it.

It's not a crowd song in that sense. I just don't get what it stirs.

I guess that's the point.

It's a crowd song for Port Adelaide. It's not a crowd song for the league.

Geez, you'd think that there is only one club in the world that has a song?
Ie
"From the Halls of Montezuma, To the shores of Tripoli"

Or other parts of their club
Ie
State Guernsey
19th Man

Not saying to criticise, but to explain the hypocrisy of a lot of the posters on here. There's a lot of copying in this competition.

The OP actually asked whether other clubs do or would do something similar.

 

[SuperEgz]

The latest recording is the best!!!

 

[Hollow Knight]

Can't hear the crowd singing except for the last line. Losing its novelty already?

The recording doesn't give it justice. Louder then ever

 

[iBeng]

Does Port need to pay royalties for every time this song is sung? They ARE using it for membership gain afterall, which translates to a financial gain for the club.

Bad troll is bad.

Was ridiculously loud.

 

[Pusswah]

Horrifyingly kitsch.

That's so cool. I wish more AFL clubs would adapt the EPL approach.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Absolutely cringe worthy. Lol at claiming its "fan driven" when the club produced 50,000 scarves to hold up.

Absolutely cringe worthy. Lol at claiming its "fan driven" when the club produced 50,000 scarves to hold up.

Fans started it and started the holding up of the scarves, fans also put pressure on the club to make a scarf that everyone could hold up during the song. Club ended up making one in middle to late part of the year. Clearly was driven by the fans.

In the end port and its fans love it, and ain't gunna stop it because some Internet trolls say it is cringe worthy.

The scarves were produced only after this was already established and Port fans demanded them you pillock.

There are threads on this very website saying "hey, they should make a NTUA scarf"

Do some research for **** sake.

So Port Adelaide DONT need to pay royalties on a song they are clearly using to get members excited/sign up new members?

Well, time to get "We Will Rock You" going as a Lions chant in 2015. Will hand out rocks painted in our colours for our Members to throw at the opposition fans.

 

[Klaus]

If really is mortifying. If the Hawks ever adopted a similar pre-game ritual, i'd stop following them immediately. Ultimate cringe everytime it's played.

It is about making the match day experience more enjoyable for the supporters. It isn't just a song used to get new members. Though the fact that we are shows that the match day staff (and Kochie) are doing their jobs. To answer your question though no we are not paying royalties to INXS.

Id be curious to see then if their record company comes knocking.

They gave us permission to use the song. Why would they come knocking?

Fair enough, that wasnt stated previously.

 

[PrideOf]

It's funny how they try to make the swans look tough even though their mascot is an effeminate bird.

I think you'll find that's a male swan.

So therefore the Sydney logo is an effeminate bird who is actually a man. Sort of fits the Harbour City doesn't it?

 

[GWSP]

I don't. On the whole EPL crowds are boring as batshit. Quiet as a door mouse a lot of the time.

You would stop supporting your club because they play a song before the game? Loyal supporter you are
