I recently posted a thread (before the Norwich.) about how i put our run of results down to the fact that my long suffering Gazebo had been blown down just before the Leic game and whilst i was looking at the twisted pile of metal in the garden just prior to the Norwich I was thinking "I must get down to the scrappy and be rid of it"

Because quite frankly i had enough of putting it back up been about five times now and you would'nt believe the lengths i have gone too to get it secured.

But then i thought what ever it takes so i put the damm thing back up. Then off to the gate for the Norwich game.

Well i has come down yet again but i'll dammed if i am not going to put it back up again this saturday!!!!!

Which brings nicely to my question to everyone what Superstitions and Rituals do you have Match day?

My boxer shorts are lucky. They can't guarantee a win but they have superb form and have done for a few years now. If I wear them we're likely to do ok. If they are in the wash or I forget them then we will lose. Fact.

I don't need to be at the game for the impact to be felt. I made sure I wore them every time we played when I was in on travels in SE Asia and had to make sure I had them on at night sometimes. They're so important that if I forget to wash them then I have to wear them again. I'd rather smell a bit and City win :ph34r:

The only thing is this...they're dark blue. Not R**ers blue but navy.

I also have to make sure I have my scarf (that has been to every game with me for 13 years) and my City kit. I also have to wear the red on the outside (ie no coat). This changes at home games though :( I am not red at home. Just my scarf.

I started to feel partly responsible for City's recent bad run.

As a birthday present near the start of the season, my day bought me the same tie as the City players wear on match day's. You know the one, think red and white stripes. I always wear this to work on the day before the match, or the match day itself if a night game. For one reason or another, i didn't wear it before the Plymouth or Cardiff games and felt guilty that my superstition had let us down!!

It was back for the Norwich game :D and i can assure you that i will be wearing it tomorrow to ensure victory over the Saints! :city:

generally if I have an barney with the missues before a game, we get a good result, strangely it's been like that with the last 2 serious girlfriends,

even stranger was that during both the Tinnion and Pulis reign's I was single??? so there was fall out?

Mine starts the day before with about 10 pints. Every saturday before a match I will lie in till about 11am. Then I have a full english and leave for the game. When I'm there I will neck about 3 pints in quick succession with my right hand and then go to the ground.

It seems to have worked for the last couple of years

City tend to win if there certain things I have seen and / or heard by chance. The one occasion I specifically requested the "right" song on the radio, we lost 2-0 at home, so it must be by chance. A few years ago we were winning 3-2 against Notts Co. My mates were getting uptight whilst I sat back knowing City were going to win.

On the down side, my brother lives in Ipswich and in November I took him to Portman Road as City were there on his birthday. The birthday was the big six oh. Nuff sed!
