Matchday superstitions/obsessions

Forums New posts
I always wear my blue Australian cricket shirt under my Southend shirt. Very similar colours. I just hope the Aussie winning ideals rub off too!!
 
I always sit on the same seat on the train. If i can't sit there i have to stand. I always buy my programme from the same stall and i always miss out the bottom stair on the way up to the south upper. Always read Tilson's article before the game, and Maher's on the way home.
 
Jesus, some of you lot are raving mad!...

But, if it work's then keep on being mad!
 
Just to let everyone know I'm about to go for breakfast so I am fulfilly my matchday religion. also i never bet at a game. last bet was sodje to score against spurs at 100-1.
 
We stop at Tescos at Eastwood on the way to the ground before each home game and I have a lunch. If we loose on that lunch then I refuse to eat it again that season.

This is a right ******* as this week I lost Fish,Chips and Beans which is a persononal favourite of mine.

I also like to nail the Mrs before I leave for the game but that is another story..................
 
Saturday matches must always involve a eating a Sausage and Bacon Sarnie whilst watching Soccer AM, and from there on it's the usual routine of meeting the lads and sinking a few jars of the Amber Nectar and then off to the ground.

I do not have the luxury of a relaxed build-up for midweek games as it requires a sharp exit from the office and an earlier train home to get changed and whizz to the ground.
 
Me and my friend always have to park in the 5th spot from the end at Aldi otherwise we lose. Unfortunately the space was taken saturday by a Jag who decided he will be cleaver and park across two spaces. We contenplated blowing it up but then it would of been messy LOL! :(
 
I have a lot of superstitions/obsessions before a Southend game, whether I can make it or not, and whether its home or away but I refuse to reveal them to anyone because I am that superstitions and I believe if others cotton onto it they stop working.

My younger brother cottoned onto them before the Doncaster game in our promotion season in League One and we lost the game, I had to change my whole routine around.

Its hard work following Southend....
 
Didn't Tilly take a Samson style vow of not getting his haircut during our winning sequence in 2005/06?
Perhaps every ShrimperZoner should take a similar vow until we reach the Premiership.
Won't make any difference I know but will make it easier for exiles like me to spot a fellow Zoner at away matches next season.
 
The missus has never seen Southend lose at the hall - so i take her as often as i can now. Also, went on a long run of not seeing the blues win whenever i was wearing last years home jersey - but we always win when i wear the betterview windows jersey from our promotion years - so i'll only wear that one to games now

I hate such ignorant axe.
 
I find we never win if I drink 7 pints before the game so I try to avoid that. If I'm on my 7th as kick off approaches I quickly squeeze in another one. Obviously I'm only on my 6th then I order another 2 (for the team of course).
