Come and admit it here .. what have you been doing recently that you won’t be changing today?
For me it’s the ‘Lucky’ Grey training top that has already been donned in anticipation…
I know it’s daft.. but would you stop now

Making sure I see two magpies together.

I have been wearing 2 items of Burnley clothing i.e., a shirt and a pair of socks.

Unfortunately, I am off to watch AFC Fylde's likely relegation today at home to Halifax (committed to going a few months ago). Since I can't really wear a claret shirt there, I think it will be 2 pairs of socks for me today instead

I haven't had a shower or bath in 5500 days.

I always use the same gate into the Bob Lord - even if there’s a queue and none at the one next to it. Occasionally switch over if we lost the last game. I like to think I’ve played my part

I'm distraught today. Lost a KO golf final yesterday when I was 3 up with 5 to play. I just lost concentration and couldn't regain focus. Just worried that it was a premonition of things to come. 5 points clear with 4 to play

After growing up in cricket dressing rooms, the most superstitious places in the world.
Where people put the same pieces of clothing on in the same order, have to do a lap of the ground in certain directions. Nobody can move seats in dressing room/area while a good batting partnership is taking place.

I have done my best to disprove superstition works.

I'm not superstitious, just a little stitious...
Seriously, I drink out of the same coffee mug for match days, and usually wear either my burnley t-shirt and/or sweatshirt during match day.

Keep it up fellas. We all played a part today.

Lucky Socks, Lucky Pants, Lucky Bacon & Egg Panini, Lucky Burnley Mug and the 2 Magpies in the garden all contributed today

Some items of clothing have been worn 30 times

Posted: **Fri Apr 18, 2025 11:06 pm**

I’ve not not had a drink of alcohol in 30
Games

Have to wear the same shirt, socks n pants - quite a demanding washing schedule sometimes for my better half.

The "2.30 fart".

During our long unbeaten run the 1991-92 season I noticed that a had a habit of letting rip a real howitzer at 2.30 on match days. This became a superstition and I'd find myself trying to force one out, if there wasn't one forthcoming, sometimes turning myself purple in the face with the effort.

This has now lasted 33 years, with the time adjusted to cover the various different kick off times we now have. It's pretty simple - no fart, no win. On some days if I couldn't parp I didn't even bother going to the match, as I knew the outcome already.

Before the play off final in 2009, I took certain precautions to ensure the 2.30 fart happened and breakfasted on a cabbage omelette with beans and real ale. I'm not proud of the results and also misjudged the timings, and I managed to clear a carriage on the Metropolitan line on the way to the stadium. Fortunately, I was still happily pumping away at 2.30.

Fortunately, for medical reasons I'd rather not disclose, I've been remarkably flatulent recently.

I continue to cover myself with copious amounts of deordorant when going to the Turf.

I wear a Burnley top and Burnley socks. I also call upon all ancestors and the gods to assist the Mighty Clarets to 3 points.

Is this affected by things like the clocks going back, weather conditions or even your 'other' medication?
