Gemmel Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Lucky boxers, favorite shirt, clothes that you have worn that and Saints have never lost.... all that sort of thing.
dubai_phil Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Yep Being positive on the pre match thread is a disaster, ditto saying things are going well on the match day thread. Alps has it partially right, grumpy & worried on both and celebrate at the end
saint_stevo Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 when i was a youngster (6ish) i used to do a dance on a Saturday which involved me getting into the Lotus Position for a while and humm to myself then dive up and do some thrashing arm movements. My dad used to say i kept us up for a few years

SaintDonkey Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Last few seasons I built up a mass of match day rituals - buying programmes from particular sellers, walking the long way round SMS, touching Ted's back foot, always drinking cider on the train down and bitter at the ground... This season I was determined not to be a slave to rituals, but I've slowly woken up to the fact that not following any ritual has become a ritual in itself!
redkeith Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I had four pairs of Grey Gap pants , which were my lucky pants. However, not all of the pants were lucky and, as they we're all identical, it was pot luck as to wether I got a lucky pair or not. Since xmas, two pairs had to be chucked, as they were getting a bit holey. Since then our form has greatly improved. Coincidence ??

Turkish Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 O C D Get help. Maybe him and Liquidshokk could become football friends if he is still looking?
saint_stevo Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 That sounds incredibly camp. i agree, but i was young and it worked!
Icey Saint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I changed where I got my programme from at the start of this season and were unbeaten since the change ( didn't go to Plymouth t home or rochdale) Thought I'd jinxed us against Swindon when we started so badly as I'd used a different seller and turnstile !!
Durleyfos Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I will have a cup of tea out of my Saints mug and will put on my 76 replica home shirt tonight. Then we will win 2-0.
scott_saints Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Used to have lucky socks. Also, anyone who remembers painted cow may remember we had a lucky hill to walk up and down at each home game.
Cascadia Saint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I seem to have a bottle of red every night, I suppose I could tell the wife it's a lucky saints ritual as an excuse?
paris Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Drinking from my Saints mug on the build up to the game seems to be working ....
dune Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I will have a cup of tea out of my Saints mug and will put on my 76 replica home shirt tonight. Then we will win 2-0. I am currently drinking a coffee out of my Le Tissier mug.
dune Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Also, anyone who remembers painted cow may remember we had a lucky hill to walk up and down at each home game. Just when you think it can't get any worse TSF never ceases to disapoint.
hamster Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I sometimes touch Ted but when analysing the corresponding results in excel found no effect evident. Others obviously like touching him too as evidenced by his one shiny foot.
The9 Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I have no match day rituals other than making sure the missus gets her ST on the ramp approaching the ground. I gave up on all the others after a particular game in Fratton, as "not wearing any blue" didn't work 2 years running... and my jean-replacement trousers didn't match.
LGTL Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 (edited) My lucky omen is myself. Edited 12 April, 2011 by LGTL
Alain Perrin Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I used to hover an inch or two above my seat until the game had kicked off. Good for the glutes, yet not disturbing the sitters behind me. Realised it wasn't working when we got relegated and missed out on the playoffs last year. Now, ahead of the game, I just crack one off in trap 2 of the toilets beneath block 42 and wipe the results on the coat of the person who climbs the stairs in front of me. I've not seen us lose since I started doing this and I encourage others to do the same.
Scudamore Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I sometimes touch Ted but when analysing the corresponding results in excel found no effect evident. Others obviously like touching him too as evidenced by his one shiny foot. I notice the Michael Jackson one at Fulham has a shiny crotch...Mohammed Al Fayed obviously believes in rituals too...
hamster Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Re the jackson statue, apparently Fulham fans are heartened that it didn't cost £50 mill like Chelsea'
LGTL Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Back at the Dell, we always use to park by the evangelistic explosion in Shirley and do a leapfrog over the barriers of the cut way through to the stadium. I've no idea why as it never worked.
NorthamSteve Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I like to get as ****ed as I can possibly get away with and still get in the ground, shout until my throat hurts and then leave.
NorthamSteve Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I notice the Michael Jackson one at Fulham has a shiny crotch...Mohammed Al Fayed obviously believes in rituals too... Well played!

Though at least it would help you with your hovering skills.
PaulSaint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I am still traditionally wearing my White boxers all week and ny "brown boxers" most of the match
Petersfield Saint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Lucky pants are not to be sniffed at!!!
MOSaint. Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Heres one for you all my youngest son who is 16 has to wear the same "lucky" clothes we dont go to every game but as many as we can afford with these clothes we have won all 11 games he has worn the complete set to the only one we lost was to manchester united and he forgot to put his watch on, so hopefully Bristol Rovers on saturday will be number 12.
hamster Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Don't forget that watch or he'll be in BIG trouble now that we know. Where does he sit?

The9 Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I'd like to point out at this juncture that Pat From Poole hasn't seen Saints score yet this season (in, I think, 5 attempts), and despite our best efforts to ban him, he has tickets to three further matches. All of his efforts to point the finger at others have been disproven with the attendance of the two other main suspects at the MK Dons and Leyton Orient matches recently. So we can write off Bristol Rovers, Plymouth and Walsall.
KK the 2nd Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Not worn colours for last 4 games - 100% record - same again Saturday
Wade Garrett Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Match day rituals make no difference to the outcome of a football match you mad bastards.
hamster Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 If a man is stood in the middle of a dessert and speaks, is he still in the wrong?
The9 Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 If a man is stood in the middle of a dessert and speaks, is he still in the wrong? Is it a trifle ?
NY Saint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Disturbingly I had been in the bathroom when three of our recent goals were scored in consecutive games. It wasn't until Barney added a third the other week against MK Dons that I finally left the bathroom for a game... Made it very uncomfortable for the missus ha!
hamster Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Is it a trifle ? What? any more of your backfire and I'll have you taken into custardy.
Draino76 Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Not seen us lose in 20 games. My usual ritual is to have 20 pints on match day.
Colinjb Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I have gotten into the habit of always wearing a red tie with White shirt while working on matchdays. Hardly the daftest of habits and no tangible results have come from it, yet it's become quite the compulsion.

InvictaSaint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 For away games midweek which I cannot attend, I don't check the score at all until 9.55 pm. exactly. We have won every time I have done this. However, it's a killer on the nerves!
dubai_phil Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 If a man is stood in the middle of a dessert and speaks, is he still in the wrong? yeah, but if there are thunderstorms in the Desert what happens then?
LVSaint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Weather reports, post pictures of nuns, smokes, dumps and w@nks during matchday.
