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.

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

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

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.
