Every supporter’s got one — a lucky scarf, a ritual walk, a pre-match pint that can’t be skipped. They don’t change the scoreline, but somehow, they make the game feel right.

In this episode of Turnstiles & Touchlines, we explore the strange and beautiful faith that runs through football — from the routines and superstitions of fans and players to the folklore that turns ordinary matches into legend.

The matchday rituals that make football feel sacred.
The superstitions that keep hope alive.
The folklore that connects generations of supporters.

Plus, this week’s Premier League and Championship results and a trip to the Away End, where loyalty and belief meet on the road.

Because in football, belief isn’t just in miracles — it’s in moments, memories, and the small acts of faith that make us keep coming back.
