Despite having been banned from attending any games earlier in the season … due to the uncanny coincidence that had the Sydney Swans losing every time I was there … I donned my lucky red shoes last Friday and headed off to the game.
Did I ever mention that once I stopped going to the games the Swans won 12 straight?? Just a coincidence I'm sure!?!?
But last Friday it was the Preliminary Final … and the winner would be straight into the Grand Final … so I took the chance that the power of my lucky red shoes was greater than the power of my jinxy hex and off I went.
And they won … easily.
So now ... the little issue of the Grand Final … which is held in Melbourne … which is a long way from home on the New South Wales Central Coast. And let's not forget that Hubby has only just returned from three weeks overseas … where he went through a lot of money … and Grand Final tickets are EXPENSIVE.
But as I suspected all these "minor" issues are quickly forgotten by Hubby when his team is in the GRAND FINAL.
Tickets were sought … and obtained … the credit card is heaving under the weight … and we have a weekend road trip to
Winners will be grinners … but it's going to be a loooooong trip home if we lose!!
So glad you have broken your hoodoo, phew to lucky red shoes, and converse to boot!! So this means you have been welcomed back into the supporters role. hope you have a great time and your beloved team wins.
