There will be an article in the Herald either tomorrow or wednesday about the Jets and how Never Tear Us Apart has become our club anthem.
Post up in here your recollections (if you have any) of how NTUA was chosen in foz v1.0, your experiences singing it and how you think it fits as an anthem.

Love it.
I seem to recall Butcher was the first to recommend it on here. Well that's what my head tells me.
Whenever I think of it beginning I think of the Never Surrender tifo.
And Con. I loved Con, he did so much for this town. He also ran a team that won shit. Then I think of Con's town-blowing-away signing plus the green grass on the other side.

All of this makes me realise how good our club was, and how shit it is now. We have Michael Bridges as assistant coach ffs.
I once sang NTUA at karaoke in Wgong and felt like I was on top of the world. I backed it up later with Teenage Dream by Katy Perry and the ladies went fxxxing wild. Weeks later I sang Teenage Dream at Wangi Pub karaoke and no one was impressed - tough crowd.
OK
You sang that at Wangi Pub and got out of there alive? Let alone with all your teeth intact? Jeeeeeeeeeesus..Originally Posted by pv4
didnt it replace that appealing tune "forever Gold".

original kaze anthem
butch & baron were the originators
some gypo once claimed that it was from the players and we copied it. wrong, f°ckface - was the other way round
I'm old enough to remember throwing bottles at INXS while booing them off the stage at the 16 footers. Never tear us apart reminds me of just how crap INXS were and probably still are.
bet that didnt happen at the Oils. OILS!
its listed in issue 11 of the zine as our anthem..... that was start of season 4
but it had been around for some tiime before that.
i always thought it started as Q said, as kaze thing on an away trip.
My memories was that it was decided on foz that it should become our anthem. It was lined up with a few other options but NTUA was the clear winner.
An anthem was needed that was started by supporters, not some manufactured anthem by the club. At least, this is what I told The Herald
I didnt remember whether the kazes started it first and then it was adopted as the anthem or the other way around. But I do remember that it was their suggestion.

it was force of numbers as i recall
continually singing it over the top of "oh when the jets" and "celery" probably
Microdots + War and Peace Parramatta + Oils = Awesome.
sit-down sing-along outside docklands circa november 2007 melbourne away 2-0 win (griffo giving theo the huge ones)
there was initially some resistance against using it.
by the time of the grand final, we had the weight of numbers to carry it on.

we will loose
I'd love to hear NTUA sang by 30000 one day at stade de Newy.... Gooses
Agree.I'd love to hear NTUA sang by 30000 one day at stade de Newy.... Goose
I sang it by myself in the stand yesterday. Some bloke looked at me and laughed. Sang even louder.
I'll be making sure it's on little baby Jeterpool's playlist to sing it to sleep when it's born along with You'll Never Walk Alone and Fields of Anfield Road.
For people who arent sitting in bay 60, is NTUA being sung in other areas of the stadium?

Only me and my mate in Bay 58 that I can see around the immediate area (next to Bay 57)
sammydog's in 55 so might be able to shed some light.
Me and my kids in bay 6 give it a whirl. It aint no "You'll never walk alone" but it will do.
Probably 2% tops.
