Marina's Rolls Royce Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Shortly before the Vale game, ATB mentioned his lucky pants( whether joking or not) and it reminded me I wasn't wearing my lucky red socks which I have worn every game this season. I put them on and 3-0. Yesterday I lost one of my lucky socks and spent several parts of my day trying to find it. Eventually I found it and was greatly relieved that our run would more than likely continue as a result. Do I have OCD or does anyone else suffer from the strange delusion that an item of clothing or ritual has to be observed in order for City to triumph?

P'head Red Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Love the fact that you spent what as probably hours trying to retrieve a pair of lost socks which, as we all know, does nothing to affect a game of football . But it does make me wonder, how many 'rituals' went out of the window last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterStyvarsRightFoot Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Several.. Always walk on the left up the dolman, always wear the same attire if on an unbeaten run, coincidentally every game I've worn my belated grandfathers watch too ( worn it 11 times) we've won or drawn from being behind! ( won 8 drawn 3) also bacon roll and thatchers pre match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( won 8 drawn 3) also bacon roll and thatchers pre match! I always walk along side the side of the pitch in the Dolman, not for superstitious reasons, just for convenience. I always wear a watch, again, not for superstitious reasons, I just like to have the time on me. Always go for a Clark's pie pre match to fill a hole. I have seen city win, lose and draw.

What am I doing wrong? Haha, ok I see the funny side ... The point I'm trying to make is, when we do certain things good things happen. Hardly ever wear that watch just when I do, we never lose!

Robbored Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Mine is a 'Gumpy old man' T shirt that Mrs Robbo gave me last Xmas along with some grey socks with snow flakes on them. I started wearing both after Xmas and am yet to see City lose. And I thought it was all down to me........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I feel I should confess something...... It's my fault we are out of the cup. Every game apart from that one this season I have had my purple and lime shirt on, and it was in the wash that night. I am terribly sorry and promise faithfully to wear it for the JPT game next month. I throw myself at the mercy of the forum and beg for your forgiveness!!!

Red-Robbo Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I've never gone big on replica shirts, but some mates bought me one two years ago and every time I wore it down the Gate we seemed to lose. Admittedly Del and then SOD were the managers, so the odds were high in any case. Now I just wear my normal clobber and we seem to win. Any hint of City apparell can still bring a disappointing draw though. I sometimes wear the old red shirt down the pub after the match though - if we've got some bragging rights.
