Match day lucky charms or evil omens

Does anyone have any match day special routines, lucky charms, clothing or jewelry?

What about omens? My Missus brought me my early morning cup of tea up to bed for me this morning and it was in a normal mug rather than my usual favourite Rovers mug.......this could well be a sign that Rovers will struggle this season :(

I used to have loads when I lived in Blackburn and went to every game. My dad taught me one which was rather than drive directly down Buncer Lane you had to wriggle along Wensley Road as far as Newmans, down on to Bank Top, behind the Griffin Pub and eventually out opposite Mill Hill footy pitches - It was both traffic avoidance (when there used to be traffic) and a good luck route!

Whenever they come out of the tunnel at the start of the game I have to shout "Come on Blues" - I would never shout it any other time, just specifically that moment when they walk out. If I miss shouting it, we may as well forfeit.

Sure I'll think of more.

I used to have lucky turnstiles but last season they all failed me.

I always have to wear my Rovers scarf with the "BLACKBURN" the right way up on the back of my neck even if the weather is sweltering and I have to drive the same way to the ground although there is now a shorter way.

Same parking place, same route to ground, same turnstile it always used to be and it served well. Venkys & co ownership though has been enough to render any routine pointless.
