Superstitions on Charlton
I know i helped the team on Saturday by putting the picture of Katrien and myself back as the wallpaper on my phone ?
Strange one i know at this moment but i had taken it off on the train down to Bournemouth and put a picture of my
family instead, bad move,
If i see a Robin in the garden on the morning of a game i feel it's a good sign.(Cardiff at home the last time)
I tried lucky socks, trainers, pants, a pen in a particular pocket. I won't walk under black cats on match day !
What current or past superstitions have you tried ?

There was a old chap who sat at the front of East Stand Block E (may still do, I've given up my season ticket since going to uni) and he wouldn't sit down until kick off, first half and second half. Me and my mate (who sat halfway up the same block) used to follow his lead, only sitting down once the game had kicked off, must've done it for 5 or 6 years. We don't always get to the same games as often anymore, but both of us still follow the tradition that no matter where we find ourselves seated, home or away, we'll stand until the game kicks off.
*I'll await the obligatory you're not a proper fan if you're sitting down comment1 -
Always have to wear a Charlton shirt to the match... Feels unlucky if I dont0

Although I'm not the slightest bit religious, I always had to watch Dean Kiely say his prayers against the goalpost before kickoff. God was on our side!0

Wore my old charlton scarf to games early on this season, lost it before the Ipswich game
Won't watch the lunchtime game on TV before a home match
Won't ever bet on charlton after we were the sole team to let my acca down 3 years ago
Refuse to wear anything in the other teams home colours to a match0 -
If you can fit under a cat I'm assuming your a mouse and if you are a mouse why would you go near a cat anyway.soapboxsam said:Just seen that the Wolves Match thread was finished on 666 comments. I've always said that the Devils in the detail.

At least we don't see that bloody black cat walking round the pitch anymore. Last time I saw it, we lost to Blackburn.0

Not really a superstition, more like a case of blind hope. For those who remember the teleprinter on Grandstand, there was often a corrected result. When Charlton lost, I used to sit and wait in case the corrected result was a reversal of the original scoreline in Charlton's game. I don't think there ever was such a reversal, yet each time I would believe it would be "corrected".4

When we started out fantastic season in division 1 to return to the prem, me, my dad and sister had to have haddock and chips before the match, one week we didn't and Kiely let in that howler v Swindon I think and we lost 1-0. Fish and chips carried on for the next season aswell in the Prem.0

I have thought about taking a lucky rabbits foot to a game to see if it works but my grandaughter does not want her pet to have a limp5

But also the Fin JJ, was one of my favourite players.0 -
Refuse to play Fifa on the day of a game.
Need to bring my gooner friend more, he has been twice and both times we have won and scored 3 goals.
My girlfriend has also been twice, and we have scored 0 goals in both, and lost 1. So maybe she shouldnt come again0 -
My daughter and I always double tap the 'no parking' sign on the church-type thing half way down Charlton Church Lane, in spite of the fact that this has clearly been shown to have no influence on the result.3

When I turn up to watch em, we always lose.1

Before the game starts I will have a slash. I have to enter on the left hand side and exit on the right,
It hardly ever works.0 -
2 lots of tea in my Charlton mug regardless if we are home or away or whether I'm attending or not.
It sometimes works....0 -
If the crossing is closed in Charlton Lane; always wait. Don't use the footbridge or else the crossing gods will punish your impatience.1

Well, I think it might have been me that caused that long winless run. I started growing a beard in November and only shaved it off this morning - sorry folks ;-)1
