Since 95 I always flick 5p into the river where the swing bridge used to be a say a score in my head until it hits the water. Couple of quid it that there riverbed now I guess
On the way to the Southampton match I blasted Make My Happy by Patrick Topping in the car. We won so continued until Stoke beat us. Haven’t bothered with a ritual since!
I like to make sure my phone has zero reception before every match, then check it a few times during the match, every match, to make sure it hasn’t miraculously managed to connect.
We used that Mayflower curry mix (Chinese curry sauce) before going to the Bradford cup match, quite possibly had it before the Exeter game. Had it again last night. Kids said we have to have it before the away leg. Always use the same turnstile too, even if the others are empty.
Matchday playlist for the drive up. As with most things these days random shuffle is the thing but the ritual is always setting off on the same track. Therefore this season will always be recalled in Proustian fashion by this.
