[Albion] Albion Superstitions

[Comrade Sam]

Piff and paff! I'm a Marxist and pour scorn on your lack of science! However, science has proven if you walk under the tunnel, instead of over the bridge to the Goldstone - we will lose! I often pop to my mate Paul's in Aldrington before a game and get off at Hove to walk over the bridge. I also watch games in a Brighton top and it will become magic-a-fied by a win and wear it for subsequent games until the luck wears off. Our recent run of good form is definitely related to my return to this routine.

Things seems to be better since Potter’s been wearing his smart tailored overcoat, instead of his tracksuit on the touch line

 

[Comrade Sam]

I shall be wearing this tonight, with the collar turned up:

Remarkably I was about to don the same outfit, but black jumper and deep blue crombie. I usually wear the collar down - but do you think up would change our home fortunes?

I hope you have something suitable to hang this from!

We are on a winning run of 1, we don't want to change that... In all games at home.

Just hope that Potter will be wearing his Christmas Overcoat.

Up until this season I was so superstitious that it drove my wife mad. Home games, shower, drive to coach calling mum and mate in car, always wore lucky pants, socks, shirt & scarf, down left staircase, furthest food counter same till, pie pint crisps.
Away similar.
Now though, dumped most of them. Even forgot my scarf for the Leeds game.

 

[schmunk]

I strip naked, spin round three times, down a litre of milk, and shout Up the Albion.

This is why I was arrested in the Tesco dairy aisle.

A bit silly of them to be showing Sky Sports in that aisle, really.

 

[JBizzle]

PJs and a black hoodie? Were you sleep walking?

Haha, nah the only people sleep walking last Saturday were the Leeds players.

I have an pair of Albion argyle socks that I've had for a few years. We always seem to draw when I wear them.

This year for Christmas I got a new pair of Albion argyle socks. Wore them for the West Ham game so it would appear the draw curse has passed over to the new pair.

I did however buy myself a pair of blue and white socks from Norman Walsh which I had on during the Leeds game.

Today I am wearing a plain pair of navy blue cotton socks......I have no idea what this means for this evening. Should I change socks or will that jinx us? If so would you be happy with a draw or is a must win?

I have a mate in Devon who has got a pair of Plymouth Argyle argyle socks

I don't wash or shower 3 days either side of a game.

your family must absolutely love the international break.

 

[keaton]

Whenever the Albion are playing I try and move as little as possible and remain stationary throughout the whole match.
You might remember me from 13 game loan spell under the alias Leon Best

I wear my 41 year old Brighton and Hove Albion Bobble hat , it's been washed more times than my partner has mowed the lawn .

 

[elwheelio]

I only drink out of my oldest albion mug on match days. I've been doing this for about 10yrs. In that time we've gone from League 1 to the PL and from Withdean to Wembley. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[elwheelio]

it's been washed more times than my partner has mowed the lawn .

Is that a euphemism?

 

[Fromthesouth]

Had a retro sandtex shirt for Xmas, haven't lost when I've worn it, so will be wearing it tonight.

 

[TugWilson]

I am a very lucky man , my wife puts up with my countless BHA shirts ( some framed ) cups glasses socks hats scarfs photos prints , you name it . And at some time or another they have all played a part in a routine or current superstition , and i have believed every one , until the next one . Tonight i shall wear my colours and drink my cider from my BHAFC tankard

 

[super-seagulls]

I shut my eyes when we take a penalty .

My partner wears a tatty old BHAFC Bobble hat he's had since 1979 ! , a Derby fan thought it would be good fun to whip it off his head in a pub , it didn't end well , I've no idea how a hat could survive for over 40 years the amount of abuse it's had , its certainly hit the TV and floor during games more than it's been washed

I wear my 41 year old Brighton and Hove Albion Bobble hat , it's been washed more times than my partner has mowed the lawn .

Is this a coincidence or the same hat? If so you need to mow the lawn Frankie, and Tay, wash your hat. ( but leave it until after the match!

 

[Birdie Boy]

Well , the lucky pj's are still undefeated, so I am in them again today. I have woken up feeling very confident which is unlike me before a Brighton game this season. Let's hope the luck continues.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Madness l know, but l quite literally can't watch the Albion live unless l am present at the game. I just feel as if l can't do anything to assist the team not actually being there to help.
