Every league game I've watched live we have won, anytime I've listened to stringer on radio Leicester we have lost.

I have boycotted rl until the end of the season

I used to avoid the radio, that dates back to the wolves game when we were 3-0 up at half time. I was at work that day and on my way home I switched the radio on to listen the the last few minutes of the 1st half and the half time chit chat. I got home and went to bed for a kip, woke up to see we had lost 4-3! I was convinced that it the radio that had done it and avoided it for years!

Right up until I accidently turned it on once and heard us score at that exact moment. Can't remember which game it was but I knew the jinx was over

I refuse to put Vardy in my fantasy football team. This is costing me money in my league at work.

Worth every penny.

Same and always for some reason i go through the same turnstile every home game since the start of the season

Lucky turnstile for me have to go through that one even if there is no queue for a different one I will wait, a steward actually said can you go to the next one and had to say no I will wait! He just laughed at me.

Have a pre match pint - started doing this around a year ago just before the great escape. Always use the same turnstile as well. It aways seems we get better results when I don't wear a replica shirt so I've stopped buying them.And also never listen to them away on the radio although I did once this season Liverpool away on Boxing Day sorry it was unavoidable due to my dad being round and wanting to listen ....

Have also in the past 'visited the brick' before kick off - but this stopped working a few years back

Oh and the last two games I've said before the match if Vardy doesn't score today I'm eating my Vardy Salted crisps

Also on a similar note I'm beginning to think the word King is a lucky charm Andy & Rich 3 - the stadium, the owners are closely linked to the King of Thailand. Wonder if it's mentioned on those "lucky" flags around the ground as well

Have to have 3 singha beer , two chicken balti pies pre game.

Sloe gin at half time,

3 pints on the way home.

If I don't fulfil that routine every home game I get anxious we will loose the next game !

Are you a member of AA or RAC?

Every time the line ups are announced on twitter with the picture of the team I zoom in on every player and say "good game"

This is amazing. I'm gonna think about this every time I see the lineups come out now! lol

I have to wear a City shirt of any description match day and post match I wear current season home shirt for a win, if we draw, one of the away shirts and honourable loss I wear a 1990's shirt prior to the next match. I stick to this religiously.

I've been wearing a Kasabian tee-shirt on league match days since Tottenham away last season. Missed a few games, including Chelsea last season, and a couple draws this season, can't recall which.

Everyone has them but this season mine have got worse and worse. my list is the following now:

at the game have to park at welford road and have to have 1 stowford press before the game. daughter has to have a hot dog and water. always have to buy a programme from the same shop outside the away end and not open it (seriously i dotn open it unless little girl wants the posters!)

if im at home i cant tune in till 2 minutes before the game starts

ones for both scenarios:

have to wear my 14/15 shirt too. it has to be put on left arm, right arm, head. (wore my black 15/16 shirt once to arsenal this season...since then...bad)

have to wear my glasses even though i dont need them

have to have livescore on me at all times

anyone else got any they have always done or adopted this season?

I don't have any to do with football, I had them when I played darts, using the same Union Jack flights, the same red stems, wearing a particular t-shirt on a particular day of the week. These superstitions or habits usually start when you're on a fantastic run and don't want to do anything different for fear of messing it up. A Bull Durham kind of thing.

Been buying a programme all season. Caught the late train on Saturday and they appeared to have sold out.

87 minutes and I was cursing myself.

Sadly it's the 100% LCFC Lucky Gnomes!

I don't believe in such things but I have been 'liking' them for loads of games... I did see them before Arsenal away and look what happened. 'Liked' them before Norwich... Back to winning ways!

It's the gnomes I tell you (maybe Rachel)!

Cut my nails usually the day before the game or on the morning of the game

Have to look at all my pants and chose what looks like a lucky pair for that game

Can't listen on radio (this is instant bad luck)

Have to keep checking score on my phone and keep busy (if at home) which usually entails ending up pacing up and down and looking like a nutter lol

When we turned things around last season it was because I danced with my 3 year old daughter to the same 2/3 songs either before or during each game (don't even ask the fookin songs lol)

Yes I know this all makes me certifiable but hey ho

Oh and just to finally add, I started growing a beard recently and I've told the wife I'm not shaving it off (against her wishes lol) until Leicester have won the title lol

Wearing a crown, two half cocunuts, a cape, my dartboard,

charging around the room pretending I am King Richard galloping leading the charge.

I was away from home against Arsenal and we lost.

I have a problem with foxes. It all started on the way to the league game at Spurs, I saw a lively looking fox dart across the road, cue the 1-0 win and where my problem starts. Driving up the Villa game on the Saturday I see 2 dead foxes on the side of the M1 - we concede a goal and Riyad misses a pen.

 

etc etc.

 

 

Good news is I saw a live one last night
