I am clearly a basket case as my superstitions are considerable....
- having to touch wood whenever mentioned to the point that i now have a piece of wood in the glove compartment afterhaving to pull over on the M25 hard shoulder.
- throwing 3 pinches of salt over left shoulder. (I spill it on purpose in case i'd already done so and hand't realised
- not walking under ladders obvs
- new shoes on a table obvs
- saluting single magpies and asking how there wife is (and spitting three times which is home made)
- When i walked to LR from where i used to park, having to walk on the same cobbles from Batman Close to the Loft End
- My knees having to point in the same direction we're attacking (a challenge in East Paddock).
There's more...i'm a basket case, i know that....anyone else?

Maybe it is a northern thing as my mum was from the north and she used to hate the shoes on the table etc so we used to do it deliberately but now I find these things do stick with you so that one, the open umbrella indoors, the salt over the shoulder, walking under ladders, bad luck for the one magpie etc. The QPR ones include if I check in on how it's going and the other side score I try not to look again, if I can stand the pressure of not knowing, just in case I jinxed it. Same with the away Swansea match I went to, decided I'd better not go to another one last season just in case. |  | | |

The salt over the shoulder is I think, biblical.
I always say it's bad luck to go in a pub and have less than 6 pints. | | | |

I'd park near the Crown and Sceptre (Findon Road) then my superstition starts.
I'd walk to the Uxbridge Road and only cross the Uxbridge Road directly In line with the paper shop, absolutely never by the traffic lights.
I would walk down Bloemfontein Road only on the left hand side until the pedestrian crossing where I would cross the road and carry on walking down Bloemfontein Road until I reached the Bloemfontein Road cafe.
In days gone by Maggie would always say (what you having Ted, your usual mixed grille?), unfortunately they've long since sold up now and I don't think much of the new owners.
From the cafe I'd walk through the flats to the ground, suffering a bit of flatulence and I would always for some strange reason stop by the players car park, I haven't got a clue why but once I forgot to stop by the players car park and we lost at home to Wimbledon 1-0. FFS.
I would as best I could enter the ground pretty close to 30 minutes before KO.
Sometimes I would repeat the above nonsensical system of getting Into the ground religiously.
One evening game the Bloemfontein Road cafe was shut so I quickly made It back up to the Uxbridge Road and Into the Harp cafe, I recall Mel walking past and opening the entrance door and shouting at me Ted you vanke r, I'm convinced we lost that night due to my superstition cycle being broken
The Harp cafe has sadly long since gone to that great frying pan In the sky.
A complete and utter waste of time and bordering on lunacy. |  |
