richieb Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 This superb run must have some of us - not changing our underpants or wearing the same jumper to every game? Personally, I hate talking up our chances & am very much the pessimist. But as mentioned previously, I lost my rear car kit the other week & won't replace it. I wear the same jeans & top to every game. Anyone else got any supersitions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTop Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 All I can say is that if half the crowd aren't changing their underpants or jumpers while we're on this run, let's hope Ashton Gate is absolutely humming by the end of the season! And I'll be going through the same lucky turnstile on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinnionForEngland Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I wear the same Black Coat and Errrmm Burberry Jeans Every Game, haven't lost the 5 times i have started to do it! Now, here's a strange one...... "I found a penny picked it up and had good luck" At Notts County away, and have stuck by a routine of after seeing a penny picking it up. I leave a penny that i have found infront of the television before every game! It's worked for the last 5! I'm nor religious or a very superstitious person but i'll do anything for the Super City!

webboland Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I'll be using THE lucky tap. Every woman must use it. It is in the toilets nest to the entrance to the dolman bar. The tap on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Friday The 13th Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I have worn the same trousers, city top, jumper, coat and trainers since the winning sequence. I threatened to walk out of my house if my mum didn't wash my jumper in time for the game against Brentford. I think we are all getting paranoid... nah of course not. What we wear will obviously effect the outcome of a game where 11 men have to put a ball in the net more times than another set of men at a goal the opposite end of the field.

Godzilla Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I usually am superstitious and if we win I'll wear the same clothes (bar underwear) to the next game! But... Since this run started I have not worn the same set of clothes to 2 consequetive games once. So a bit of a preverse superstition perhaps, but one that seems to be doing ok right now!

Guest The_Boy Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I got given the new city shirt for xmas this year and wore it in the second half on the brentford game away. The rest seems to be history. Wore it at some point every saturday since then and we aint lost!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 You're ALL wrong! It's my mates' son's sprout, honest He has had this little Brussle sprout since the Stockport match,always brings it down the gate and it sits infront of the radio for away games. In case you think this is ####, I must tell you that he had another sprout for our last run (97-8) and lost it before we played away at Fulham! Never doubt the power of the sprout!

elhombrecito Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I chose to wear my white away shirt from a few years back to Brentford. A 2-1 win and I wore it the next away match, and the next..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpaul Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Had been using the same disposable razor since Brentford on boxing day up to and including the morning of the Colchester game. During a conversation with NATCHER in the supporters club before the game it was suggested that at 42 years old I should've grown through the superstitious stage. So the following morning I changed blades, and now my skin is back to normal!! Thanks NATCHER Mind you, it does have a downside-the wife wants to get closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 16, 2004 Admin Share Posted February 16, 2004 I'm glad it's not just me ! I got a pair of footy socks on my Birthday (26th Dec) and have worn them to every game since, you would not believe the pressure to get them washed and dried ready for tomorrow night ! I'm almost AFRAID not to wear these socks again . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man In Black Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Well, I think I've worked out what could be doing it in my life.... my girlfriend. I've managed (after much nagging) to convince her to go to two games: the LDV final in Cardiff and City vs. Chesterfield on the 17th January. We won on both occasions. Plus, our winning run has appeared to coincide with her taking a slight interest in City (to prove this, I was listening to BBC Bristol on Saturday. When Docherty scored, she calmly said "he's the one with the beard, isn't he?". I think it proves a small point, anyway ) Unfortunately, she didn't take too kindly to my suggestion that I get in contact with Steve L and convince him to chain her to a pole and take her to every game (even after I pointed out that we'd get free travel and admission to all City games. You just can't please some people ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all true, I'm the one who has been charged with looking after the aforementioned sprout. However, it's beginnings go back further than the stockport game. Sprout made his city debut versus Bradford Park avenue in the F.A. Cup (5-2 win) and since then it has either been to every game or watched the game on tele-text. Since sprouts debut we have lost only once in the league (away to blackpool) which i take full responsibility for as sprout was not present at the game nor did it watch on tele-text. Superstition? No... hard fact- A small, increasingly crusty, sprout that remains in my coat pocket inbetween match days is responsible for this current run. You can't argue with results.....

Guest hoops_hoops_hoops_up_up_up Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Clearly the most common superstition amongst city fans is not going to the games hence the poor attendances despite your recent run of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
