Could this be an answer to our arena luck....

[real_darlo_85]

Ever since we made the move to the Arena 6 years ago its been either promotion heart-ache (the 8th placed finishes/playoff semi-final) or seasons of struggle (03/04 and currently now). I've come to the conclusion that the arena is CURSED and there were rumours that poolie workers had done things during the construction of the stadium (burying shirts under the pitch etc.) to bring us bad luck - judging by the events over the last 6 years this could be true.

Now I remember hearing about a story when Barry Fry was in charge of Birmingham City when they were going through a very bad spell of form. Legend has it that he was so concerned by a poor run of form that he asked a local gypsy about an alleged curse on the St Andrews ground. She advised him to urinate on every corner of the pitch, which he is said to have done to the betterment of his club's results.

Maybe this has been the simple answer to our problems all along. SO I SUGGEST SOMEONE ASKS TODDY TO GIVE IT A GO.....YOU NEVER KNOW IT MAY JUST WORK (or it may not)?????

I'll let you off as this link was posted a few days ago on another thread titled 'luck' (page 3). Think this explains the reasons for the Christmas theme....

Did you not bother to read my explanation that the club is hosting a Durham County Council Christmas Fair shortly.

Talk of a curse is way off the mark IMO. In those 8th place seasons, we never seriously looked like going up.

We're not cursed, we're just an unfortunate team to support.
