  • I snuck in around November time at midnight and buried a black cat under the centre circle I had ritually sacrificed in the West Stand car park minutes earlier. My only excuse is that everyone else had run out of ideas. I dug it up last night.

    Well, I think it might have been me that caused that long winless run. I started growing a beard in November and only shaved it off this morning - sorry folks ;-)

    Well as long as you've learned your lesson now
  • Just seen that the Wolves Match thread was finished on 666 comments. I've always said that the Devils in the detail.

    I know i helped the team on Saturday by putting the picture of Katrien and myself back as the wallpaper on my phone ?
    Strange one i know at this moment but i had taken it off on the train down to Bournemouth and put a picture of my
    family instead, bad move,
    If i see a Robin in the garden on the morning of a game i feel it's a good sign.(Cardiff at home the last time)

    I tried lucky socks, trainers, pants, a pen in a particular pocket. I won't walk under black cats on match day !

    What current or past superstitions have you tried ?





  • its the same,whenever I park in bluewater,I toss the remains of my sandwiches to the two barking magpies.however the seagulls kick the shit out of them and nick the grub,does this mean pards the magpie will return?hope not,
  • Me and dad had a whole bunch. I'm not remotely superstitious but it was tradition for us.

    When we got to the Royal Artillery, dad would say "my old dad was in the Royal artillery!" To which I would reply "but he shot down his own planes!" And then he'd go on about how it was a practice exercise while I would argue that the military police are still looking for his descendants to stand trial.

    Then we get to Cemetary Lane. "Why's it called Cemetary Lane?" he would ask as we drive past the cemetary. I would respond with lots of other suggestions for the name based on whatever is in sight, such as football pitch lane.. He would always say "charlton park dairy lane" which eventually became "Closed down dairy now a care home lane".

    I do his bits now, it's getting easier but I pretty much break down every time. Tough times.
  • It gets easier Jimmy, give yourself time. Have you got someone to do your bits while you do his?

  • Always buy a red t shirt never football shirt every time we get a new manager and wear it to every game I attend until a new manager comes in.Obviously I've been buying a few lately and have done this since Lennie Lawrence left,haven't a clue why but it feels lucky?????
  • After getting relegated from the prem that 1st season we stuck to gate 33 whilst on an unbeaten run, mind you the following year we ran out of turnstiles!
  • Superstition for next season is sit facing the opposite way of the pitch.

  • Ive done a few over the years until they stop working. Shaving on match day, not shaving on match day. During the 98 play off winning season i didn't cut my hair during the unbeaten run that eventually lead to promotion at Wembley. I have had unlucky and lucky trainers, scarves, mugs. Modes of transport to the game, Route to the ground, pre match pub. It can all affect the result you know!
