Does anyone know why Floyd put "You'll never walk alone" at the end of Fearless from Meddle?

It goes with the song, and it is prog thinking.

Really, IDK, I'm just throwing out ideas

 
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
Its astart
What we need is awareness we cant get careless
Mental self defensive fitness
Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be

You're fearless if you never walk alone, but always surrounded by people who protect you

I wonder where they get the recording of an audience singing it. From a sports match, or one of their own shows??

From some football match of Liverpool. At the end you can hear a few shouting "hey Liverpool!"

I think it has something to do with Nick Mason having been a good friend of the late British DJ and Liverpool fanatic John Peel. The song was a big hit for Merseybeat act Gerry and the Pacemakers in the 1960s, and was rapidly taken up as a chant by Liverpool supporters, and can still be heard at Liverpool games to this day although many other chants have come and gone in the intervening years. It also demonstrates impeccable taste on Pink Floyd's part!
'Like so many of you
I've got my doubts about how much to contribute
to the already rich among us...'

Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom

Yeah.  Liverpool fans consider it an unofficial team anthem, so I've heard.
