Football doesn’t begin at kickoff, it begins with the rituals and routines of matchday. From the walk to the ground, to lucky scarves and odd superstitions, to the pubs, trains, and streets that transform into extensions of the stadium itself - anticipation is football’s true opening act.

In Episode 6 of Turnstiles & Touchlines, we explore:

  • The pilgrimage of the walk to the ground.
  • Lucky charms, superstitions, and strange routines.
  • The sacred pre-match pint.
  • Matchday markets and the smells of football.
  • Streets becoming stadiums.
  • The raw theatre of the away end.
  • Plus: Premier League & EFL weekend results.

⚽ Next week: Episode 7 — Groundhopping & Pilgrimage, the culture of travel in football.
