Mine is to wear a replica shirt. I'm convinced we'll lose if I don't. I don't think anything will ever stop me doing this as it's so ingrained.

Be nice to bump into Darren Woolley before the game as well, only done that twice and we've taken 4 points and kept 2 clean sheets.

This morning I got out of bed on the count of 5 after telling myself that we would win tonight if i did.

I do this on the morning of any big game.

I've left work early because I'm so genuinely nervous about the game and wasn't getting much done (and I fancy getting down the pub early). I have not felt like this about a game for ages.

And funnily enough, Bolton played Villa the day we got married 7 years ago.  A draw as I recall.
