The prospect of music during corners, goal kicks and substitutions at A-League matches appears dead in the water after clubs distanced themselves from the radical measures.

All but two Australian clubs have categorically ruled out the controversial in-game entertainment to AAP.

The two on the fence, Adelaide United and Central Coast, also say they're also unlikely to adopt the divisive party-starters.

He's still yet to sign a contract with the Central Coast Mariners but Usain Bolt is indirectly responsible for the A-League club's biggest on-field splash in years.

The signings of Ross McCormack and Tommy Oar have been described by owner Mike Charlesworth as a "defining moment" for the Gosford-based minnows.

According to CEO Shaun Mielekamp, it can all be traced back to eight-time Olympic champion Bolt -- in a roundabout way, at least.
