sage Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Has anyone got any Derby superstitions? We used to walk a certain way from the Arboretum and we got promoted under Cox due to me eating Jaffa Cakes before each game (in my mind) and my brother was married for 20 years before his wife realised why he wanted Rice Pudding every Saturday. Recently I was going to shave before the Sheffield Wednesday game but didn't have time and I haven't shaved since, even through the awkward ginger phase (sorry Duracell) around the Blackpool game.

rynny Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Never wear anything with even the slightest bit of red on a match day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I never tolerate any thoughts of superstition - and I never do that 11 times on match day standing on one leg with a pair of underpants on my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a clean pair and we might get promoted. This also may increase the attendance in your part of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 i always enter through turnstile 30 or 31 - because in my head they represent 3 nil and 3 one wins for the mighty rams. (don't where 5 - 1 came from last week!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Never wear anything with even the slightest bit of red on a match day. This exactly. Also there used to be a guy who sat near us that did not sit down until the referee blew his whistle for kick off even though every single person around him had say down. We started to copy him as a joke and now we do it just for a laugh really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I have at least 5 pints before every game (although I'm not sure this is superstition) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Used to always wear the same clothes to a match until we lost, then I'd change. Don't realy do it anymore. Also stopped buying a programme years ago when realised we always seemed to lose when I did (turned out we lost pretty much whenever anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
