Always walk up the big back steps to the top of the gwladys then walked down to my seat.

I used to have "lucky" items of clothing that I'd wear at the match but I stopped using them back in 2005 when I went to Arsenal wearing my "lucky" hat, my "lucky" jacket and my "lucky" shoes and watch us get hammered 7-0!?‍

If I go out running on the morning of a game, I always wear my Everton hat

I always make sure that I NEVER go running on the morning of a game.
Nor any other morning come to that.

I think the only conclusion I can draw is that the club has sent a sizeable portion of us quite quite barmy.

I think every football fan is nuts to a degree.

I mean, I'd rather a 0-0 draw than be leading 1-0 and then concede a leveler.

I'd also be euphoric if we score a late leveler.

All 3 have the same reward. Weird.

(obvs all 3 preferable to the classic Moyes 'plucky' late defeat against top teams.)

I'm convinced we need to get the Chang elephants back on the shirts. We were a different animal in the decade or so we had them.

I always felt if Hibbert scored it would open up a portal to hell ushering in the apocalypse.

Is it a short boo, or a long drawn out boooooooo?

Depends. It has got shorter since the Fat waiter left

Same. I walk up the steps furthest away too, walk along the back before going down to my seat.

In the 80s, as a kid, when arriving at the ground with my dad (after obsessively parking without fail in Saxonia Road near Walton Hall Park), every time he HAD to say “why don’t you try one of those”, talking about those arl fellas with the battered manky little trolley things selling burgers. He knew full well I would decline the inevitable food poisoning and instead ask for money to buy another badge to pin on my scarf. This went on for years, part of the routine of every home game.

Years later, after Uni and moving away etc, I went back home and we went to a Boxing Day game with tickets from a mate. Parked in Saxonia, even though that was probably too far a walk for him by then. I spent the whole walk hoping he’d ask, and he did, with a completely straight face as always ?. I said “go on then” and I bought us both one. They were utterly filthy and amazing, and no-one died.

UTFT ?

Great story mate.

My dad took me my first game in the Park End upper stand (That is how old I am) When we came out I saw the hot dog guy by the entrance to Stanley Park as we crossed the road. I was hungry and asked could I have one. He said "Where do you thin k he has a wee?" I looked around and decided he probably went in the bushes just through the park gates. My dad said he did, then he asked "Where does he wash his hands?" I looked around again before telling my dad I could not see anywhere he could wash his hands. My dad asked "Do you still want one?" I said no, and I have never had one ever. Probably one of the reasons I am veggie today. The chips he got me further along where lovely though.

I've started wearing an Everton shirt on matchdays. Trouble is up here folk think it's a Rangers top half the time.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

My true superstition is to go to the match with no money. My detractors will claim its because I am a minge-bag, but I maintain it is a genuine superstition! ps I have no data to prove it is successful or not?

Do Your mates buy you a pre or post match drink?

If so, I'd say that's sufficient data to suggest it's a success.
