I've always worn the same outfit to the following game, if we win. if we lose i'll make sure I don't wear the same clothing and so on,right down to my underwear .

I only wash my Villa shirt after a loss. 40º minimum to get rid of the bad luck.

I have a mug with club crest on. It only gets used on matchdays, nothing else, regardless of what I’m drinking. Tea, coffee, beer, vodka

I don't have any lucky match wear, but me and my mate sometimes repeat stuff we have done before a win in subsequent games.
During our narrow survival seasons we both kept seats two blocks apart out of fear that sitting in a different seat could see us fail to survive. We now sit together as of the first season in the Championship.
I always cross the fingers on one hand during opposition free-kicks and corners if we are holding onto a lead ( though I hide my fingers under my other arm so that no-one sees what an idiot I am ).
We got confused at Sunderland away in 14/15 and circled the ground before we won 4-0, so we did it again at Wembley before the Liverpool game... unfortunately it had run its course by the final.

I just try to wear a Villa shirt on the day of the game. Nothing too complicated.

Can be tricky getting 'em on right, though.

I'm working away, staying in Bath. I've only ever watched us on TV in Bath once (Hull away last season won 3-2) so I've just booked the same table in the same pub!!

Instead of my usual Villa polo shirt, for no particular reason I wore a non-football navy blue sweater for the Derby game, the first of our 10 game winning streak. I superstitiously wore it every game after that including sweltering in a heatwave at Bolton.
I left it off for the dead rubber against Norwich - we didn't need to win and I wanted to conserve its power. I wore it for both legs of the play-off semi-final and at Wembley.
Considering its job done, I retired it this year, wanting once again to wear Villa colours.
But I'm strongly considering un-retiring it tonight. In two minds because if we win , I'll have to carry on wearing it, but I don't know ....we really need a win tonight, maybe it's time .
[Yeah, I know its bollocks. But we all know how many committed atheists change their mind on their death bed "just in case"........, ]
Thoughts please H and V ....To wear or not to wear, that is the question !!!

Lucky "car park" wear. We changed our normal car park of many years for the 4-0 Derby game last season. We've stuck with it since!!

My lucky Villa scarf which I wore to games from around 1979 to 1983. I am still convinced to this day that my Mum washing it circa 1983 led to our fortunes changing from 1983 to 1987. I still wore it but I superstitiously to this day believe my Mother had washed out the magic.
