Footballers tend to have matchday superstitions, just wonder if any of you Exewebbers have any matchday superstitions?

For a while mine has been if Take That's Greatest Day was played on the radio on my way to a match, we haven't lost. The times it's not been played we've lost. Finally got my CD player in the car, so am making sure I play it at some point before a match. Will keep doing so, until/if the results tell me differently, and then will probably put it down to another reason when we win.

Have always had a superstition for winning/drawing games even when I was a regular at Rugby League matches.

Would be interested to hear others

I'm waiting for someone to say 'I've worn the same underwear to [?] games this season and City has won every time.'

I've not got one for watching City but when I used to play I went through a spell where Mum always had to cook me an cheese omlete for lunch before a game

Don't ever wash the white ones and they'll soon become grey/black. ;)

I never predict scores of City games

Definition of stupid, knowing the truth, seeing th
For the past 3 home games (all on a saturday) we go to The Raj Indian and have chips & kebab meet with a nice garlic sauce; haven't seen City lose since we started that one; so we'll keep it up. Can't do it this Tuesday though; so hope it's not going to put the kybosh on us ;)
