Resource Can anyone explain this Crom stuff?

[Murray2503]

I think it was when SPP grabbed a pear at a nightclub once.

Yeah it gave him a bad reaction and turned him into an octopus apparently. Had a loss of control over his hands.

 

[Thetrader15]

is it like Port "Pear" ?

But without 2000 years of selective tradition.

 

[radiojake]

a Port supporting friend over here actually got a little pear tattooed on her wrist...

I would say so although no idea how the pear evolved.

When did generation Z start? 1995, 2000 or 2010?

I think 2000.

Its an organic supporter driven joke based on the misspelling of Crows.

If you don't like it ignore it. But even though I don't really see the humour we have a fan podcast driving it successfully and being embraced in the light hearted nature it is.

Well played guys, this kind of stuff makes a club

I completely agree.

We often get accused of being a plastic club full of apricot slice eating boomers. This shows that opinion to be bullshit.

This was something that come up organically from supporters, and feels authentic (and a bit stupid).

I like it. I'm not necessarily someone who's posting the meme on Facebook, but I like that it feels genuine and fun.

Crom is a perfectly cromulent word.

Caaaaarn the Crom!

But including 119.

 

[dogs105]

I think 2000.

There's nothing official, but most sources cite births between 1995 and 2010. Some say 94, some "late 90s", but 95 seems to be most common.

OK

Was looking for this

It was the way a lot of their supporters pronounced power.

More specifically Russell Ebert who did so all the time in the media which is what really popularised it

My assumption has always been from the fact that they are called the pear as most port supporters can't pronounce the word power properly.

I always thought it was the way they said Power, almost dropping the O and shortening the e.

I guess no one is a fan of Conan the Barbarian

This is what i think of every time i see it.

 

[Slippery Pete]

I will spend the next few hours drinking Wild Turkey 6.5% cans trying to permanently erase this knowledge from my memory.

You’ve just been crommed, Boomer

It was referred to earlier

 

[kulak]

Everybody always asks, what is crom?

But nobody ever asks, how is crom

Yep. Better this than ****ing "Chants Night".

It's all a misunderstanding, though. He actually grabbed a pair.

Really embiggens the team too.
