Never Tear Us Apart...

[le dominateur]

I was there last night, that song literally rocks the foundations of the ground, good on Port for the initiative. People love to whinge about the most minor of things.

 

[supernova_]

jealous much everyone?

We don't give a **** what others think, we like it.

Gold Coast have been doing it longer than Port 2011 I think it was where there is a video montage for the 60 second countdown and Guns n Roses November Rain guitar solo over Metricon PA. Jealous you weren't first? Probably why Metricon was voted best stadium for a few years In a row. It's now stopped because it's not original anymore

 

[thethinkingcat]

Well gee I think we have won many a games with it played before....

Clueless.

You have never won a game when it has been played because last night was the first time it was on.

 

[Some Idiot]

I've always found playing songs like this before a game entirely cringeworthy. Watching the rendition of you'll never walk alone when Liverpool came over here was disastrous torture.

 

[Mangus Onfries]

??????
It has been played at every home game this year but hey, don't let any facts get in the way of your posts.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

It's amazing to be at the ground when this comes on. Port have set a new standard for pre game build ups.

I saw the replay of it on tv last night. It looked very good. I forgot who the commentator was that that made it seem lame with every word he said. "That's INXS" "a classic INXS song" "scarves!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh you are seriously the best

I swear Port fans try to rewrite their history every few years based on what suits them best at the time.

1997-2007: They try to distance themselves as much as possible from the much despised Port Magpies. Trying to present themselves as a fresh new club.

2008-2013: They change their mind and heavily push the "1870" line. I've lost count of the number of times that Port supporters have said that the PAFC and the PAMFC were completely separate. They said Port were formed in 1870 and moved into the AFL in 1997. The current port magpies was a different club they said.

2014: Now all of a sudden PAMFC are the same club and they've been reunited with a club that they previously had no connection with.


They're making this shit up as they go.

Let's ignore the facts...

Port are the same club.

It's official now in 2014, with the Magpies acting as a Reserves team.

The SANFL would have had the Magpies gone, and probably will try to again now that we are dominating in the SANFL, so yeah this song is actually quite relevant.

But hey, I don't care what opposition fans have to say, it ain't for you.

What exactly was the montage of in 2011?

Gary Ablett playing for Geelong?

Andrew Demetriou handing your club a bag full of money with a dollar sign drawn on it?

An ad for Wet n Wild?

 

[Punchy Bassett]

They'll never tear up our tarps.

 

[LordLucifer]

I have no issue whatsoever if the Port crowd want to hold their scarves up and sing in unison, it adds some theatre & atmosphere to the game and becomes something of a tradition when sadly, a lot of old traditions in our game have been done away with.

 

[Plugger35]

There's only one song that should be played before games.

 

[PAdman]

Celtic have been singing it for about as long as Liverpool as far as I know.

They sing it louder too.

Nobody associates YNWA with Celtic.

 

[PowerForGood]

I'm still trying to understand why this thread is even here.

Is it to debate whether their team would ever do it, or is it purely taking the opportunity to hang crap on Port Adelaide because we lost at home?

The song is something that has been embraced by the club and it's supporter base.
Why a supporter of any other team would be annoyed by that, is embarrassing IMHO.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

It's not bad, but got nothing on "GO EAGLES GO"

Couldn't have said it better myself.

While i don't mind the song thing. The whole trying to create an identity is cringe-worthy

We will see how the rendition goes when things aren't as rosey for the Power, or is it magpies now?

 

[Tedeski]

Truely inspiring.

I went to the North v Hawk game the other night at Etihad.

They put a "make some noise" request on the big screens after a North goal just before the next bounce.

It was inspiring stuff that made you want to run out on the ground & help the North players out.

Great marketing ploy for those clubs that have finally realised that a fair chunk of their supporter base are simple!

 

[Ahern2Boof]

North play a bit of Remember the Name by Fort Minor occasionally. They did on Friday night. Maybe they should play it every week...

 

[PowerForGood]

And the historical revisionism from Crows supporters on here about Port Adelaide's history is embarrassing as well.

Concentrate on making your own history rather than trying to disparage ours.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

What is the point of this thread to give port a lot of shit?

Port fans like it, who cares what others think of it?

 

[Mangus Onfries]

Some of the muppets on here need to get a life. The club played it at the start of season and the supporters loved it. We have embraced it and it's growing week by week. Totally supporter driven. I would never even consider commenting on what any other club is doing at their home games for their supporters.

 

[mcgarnacle]

So many spoilsports in this topic. Good on them for trying something different to the AFL usual. As a Lions fan I'd love to have something like this happening to get the fans worked up.

But why? Port already have a club song, as do all other AFL clubs, as ****ed as they all are.

In football, Liverpool's club song IS YNWA.

West Ham IS I'm forever blowing bubbles

Even my club Sydney FC have a song that's becoming it's anthem - 'We are Sydney' to the tune of Bonny Tyler's 'It's a heartache.' Sung by the cove supporters and now being adopted by the club in membership and many other club branding.

They're organic and evolve over time.

Port's attempt at this was just an instant manufactured and marketing fail.......and such a poor tune to sing in the lead-up to a footy match too.

a fail? Yes a fail which the whole crowd and port fans love. Do us a favor and grow up

Katy Perry's Roar would work at Punt Road. A fairly catchy anthem.

they tried it in NFL. the team was assured that if they tried it again people will be slaughtered mercilessly.
