February 11, 201610 yr For a good while when we were going well I'd never wear any wanderers apparel except on match day. Seemed to work. Recently started wearing a Bolton hat regularly, as much as a show of faith, and we've got seven points from nine. Thus it will continue. Anyone else have strange football superstitions?
February 11, 201610 yr Never mind Johnny Evans. Our demise as a football club can be traced to one earth shattering instance in our recent history. The day my coat was stolen. The same coat that contained all my lucky ticket stubs. I reckon a Leicester fan nicked it. Edited February 11, 201610 yr by gonzo
February 11, 201610 yr Can't help touching the ceiling as I'm walking up the steps from the concourse and imagining I'm a player.
February 11, 201610 yr Hope there are no men in White Coats within the WW fraternity as I am leaving myself open to be sectioned but here goes: I always wear the same undies on Home match days (doesnt apply for away games) - I dont wear the same pair at other times. I apply underarm deodourant in the same manner. I pull my replica shirt over my head, kiss the badge twice, before putting my arms into the armholes. I travel on the 125 bus to Horwich and must not see the outside of the pub from the bus so look away or ensure I am on the stairs before alighting so I cannot view the pub. Incidentally I am not in the slightest bit superstitious aside from pre football. Oh and i dont ever attend a match sober.
February 12, 201610 yr I'm just impressed you can remember it all when you're pissed :-) Edited February 12, 201610 yr by kent_white
February 12, 201610 yr Can't help touching the ceiling as I'm walking up the steps from the concourse and imagining I'm a player. i here you brother, i do it all the time, this is an older picture of me though
February 12, 201610 yr Where i used to live there used to be a trotter lane or trotter road or something! I got it in my head that i had to drive down that road on a match day. Was only about a mile out my way, but still absolutely mental behaviour.
February 12, 201610 yr My missus has encouraged me to sack the sad pre match rituals but I cannot bring myself to do so. Not as if my irrational actions had done a right lot of good of late......
February 12, 201610 yr For an iconic part of their ground you would think the scruffy fuckers could sort a few metre of cable containment out.

February 12, 201610 yr Always wear my yellow away shirt since we beat Dingles 4-3. Always have the Wembley 2000 scarf up in the car. Always put Robert Miles on in the car full bore as we turn off the M61 in memory of Burnden days.. Programme from the same seller.
February 12, 201610 yr The General had a fiver note on the fireplace the day we beat Preston. It remained there until the day we went down, even though the fireplace had been replaced and was in the garage.
February 13, 201610 yr Always try to piss in the same cubicle in esl. Even wait for it to become free sometimes. Once in there I say a short prayer, sign of the cross then touch each metal bracket thing in the same order twice.
February 14, 201610 yr When dougie took over and we went on that unbeaten run, i wore the same clothes each game (they were washed inbetween matches), until i couldn't find my socks last game of the season, the rest is history. Its all my fault, not the previous managers.
February 14, 201610 yr In the Phil Neal 23 match unbeaten days I had to buy a packet of Hob Nobs and packet of Juicy Fruit from the Welcome Store on Radcliffe Road/Long Lane in Darcy Lever on my way to the game and sit in the same seat in the Burnden Paddock. Ironically it was Brighton in their salmon coloured strip what put a end to that run.
February 14, 201610 yr Still got me old scarf from 1977 and it only gets washed when we get promoted. It currently has all manner of piss, shit, ale, blood and puke engrained on it from UEFA trips. I washed it in 1993 after getting back from the Preston game (living in Soton at the time) and that was akin to the Chernobyl clear up.
February 14, 201610 yr During the 100 goals 98pts 96/97 season I went the majority of it not cutting my toenails. I thought it was bringing us luck. By the time we played Tranmere in the last match the were poking through my sambas.
