Fans Support for the PBA Northport Batang Pier team:

Batang Pier does have a fan base that stays with the team through thick and thin but the team hasn't shown any real potential to win and give their passionate fans something to cheer about.

PBA NorthPort Batang Pier's former franchise Powerade Tigers or Coca-Cola Tigers has had a successful run in the Philippines Basketball Association League winning 2 championships which led to its fan following in the league.

Since they took over, Batang Pier has been the same team and that's evident from their performance in the PBA championships. If you are interested in PBA news about teams, you can read other articles in All PBA Results of this blog.

Northport Batang Pier Achievements in the PBA:

The previous franchise of this team Powerade Tigers or Coca-Cola Tigers have won the PBA Championship twice.

• 2002 All-Filipino
• 2003 Reinforced

Except for these two championships, the Tigers couldn't manage to win any championship in this league. they do come close at certain points but couldn't actually win the league.
