Do you have any really sad superstitions before matches?

[Lady Whistledown]

someone else on here just made me realise how sad I am: if the Albion have won one week, I find myself trying to remember what I was wearing in the hope that the clothing will be lucky again the next match.

I can't change the routine if we're winning, likewise if we lose, I have to go buy my pre match drink from a different venue in the ground. As if my choice of clothing/drink/burger van has some kind of magical impact on the result of a football game.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has this kind of ridiculous routine...

I wear my "Lucky Jumper" to each game and also park in the same space each game at the park and ride. Some bugger nicked my parking space for the Stockport game and look what happened!

Baileys.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Obviously we need to conduct a scientific experiment to work out the exact combination of lucky jumpers, pants, shoes, burgers, beers, Baileys, pubs, parking spaces, morning routines, Withdean toilet cubicles etc for every person in the ground.

That way we surely can't fail....

i always have a pie on match day at home before i head off to the pub.

Every game I've been to this season, I've had an ice cream while walking from pre-match drinking place to the ground. At Middlesbrough, I had to run into a video shop and get one of those little tubs of Haagen-Dazs.

Bit stupid really.

I used to wear my lucky knickers that were blue. But in the end I had to throw them away!

Also, when I go to away games, I try to sit on the left side of the car/coach/train as we always seem to win when I do.

 

[Notters]

On the way to home games it is a family tradition to hold our breaths through the Cuilfail (sp?) tunnel in Lewes. On the way to away games, I always hold my breath through the Dartford tunnel (when heading that way).

Oh, and baileys.

Why and how do you hold Gary Bailey's breath when going through the Dartford tunnel?

[Theatre of Trees]

Yep. I'm a wear the same combination of clothing type until we lose too.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

well we need all the luck we can get at the moment, so if you could all ensure the above superstitions are carried out before Bristol City, we're halfway to three points already...

I always put my socks on before my shoes

I always put my socks on before my shoes

[Dover]

I check I have my ticket three times before I get to the ground. How sad is that.

 

[jail bird]

[Lady Whistledown]

oh yeah, I started at Withdean getting the Park and Ride to the ground, but then we lost a few, so now I walk...
