I am a fan of the AFL’s Port Adelaide Football Club (the “Power”), and they have a great, spine-tingling tradition during home games. It all started in 2014 when a highlight package was shown before the Round 2 match vs Adelaide, which was the first game Port Adelaide played in the Adelaide Oval. At one point, “Never Tear Us Apart” by INXS played, and Port supporters sang along, then requested the song be played in future games, and the rest is history.
When the siren sounds signifying 1 minute until first bounce, the song starts to play with the 2nd verse and the fans start to sing. This culminates in a crescendo during the chorus as the song cuts off and the fans yell “Never! Ever! Tear us Apart!” It’s an awesome tradition and game time show of unity. Check out some of the instances below:
Simply Awesome.
