Promotion and the 13 year curse

[1973Blade]

Yes I'd love us to go up next season! But the 2019/20 season does coincide with our 13 year curse which seems to come around as reliably as Hayley's comet.
1967/68 relegated to Division Two on the last day of the season.
1980/81, relegated to Division Four on the last day of the season thanks to Don Givens' penalty miss
1993/94 relegated from the Premier League on the last day of the season thanks to a last minute Mark Stein goal for Chelsea.
2006/07, relegated from the Premier League thanks to David Unsworth and Carlos Tevez.
If we go up this year, I'm staying in bed next season, I won't be able to take the heartache! (it's a good job I'm not superstitious )

Better to get relegated from the Premier league than the Championship

 

[Bartleby]

what about relegated to League One in 2011, how does that fit the cycle?

 

[Grizzly blade]

Maybe Wilder will break the curse....not only we have good news in year 13, maybe via a play off final too

Interesting stat.

Next season there’s no way we’ll get relegated from the Championship.
So that means the omens look like we’ll be promoted this season and to be fair we’d need wholesale changes for the PL.

Maybe we can do a Burnley, be promoted, then instant relegation, followed by instant promotion, then we stay there.

An added free bonus from the footballing gods...

Now you've gone and fucking done it.

or the 13 year cycle was reset and we have 5 years in the Prem to look forward to.

You can just imagine the pre-match brief, last game of the season, win needed for promotion.

Lads, appreciate your efforts this season but as we all know, when this ground was first built they seeded the turf with some magic beans which kicked in mid 60s and are destined to curse the club every 13 years, and we all know what next year is..... Let's treat today as a training excercise, drop into the play offs, for't revenue like, do our usual at Wembley and come back fighting next year. We've got a shaman coming pre-season, he's very good, specialises in removing the thing they put in mirrors, ladders and solitary magpies. Once he's done his stuff, Champions League in 5 years.

That reads like a script from a Rusty Rovers scenario

As long as its not the Shaman McCabe employed since 2007.

But we didn't have Wilder and Knilly then!

Is he going to piss on the corner flags like at Brum?
