Turnstiles

Turnstiles at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, Bolton for Saturday's game against Peterborough United.

These are the turnstiles I use to gain access to the stadium. Football fans are very superstitious believing that things they do prior to a match can influence the result. Some people wear lucky pants, touch a "lucky object" , take the same route to the stadium , have the same pre match meal...you get the idea.

Some people always go through the same turnstile. I vary my selection for each match. As for my superstitions, once could never disclose them as if I did, they wouldn't "work anymore"

Wonderful B&W capture. Fun to have all the persons turning their back to the photographer :-)

Ha ha amusing narrative! I had a very superstitious mother, I still can’t put new shoes on a table, throw salt over my left shoulder etc etc

[Phil Howcroft]

@carole_sandford "new shoes on the table" ...that's in Blood Brothers the musical

[Zilli~]

Nice capture!

[Issi Bannerman]

Great shot and I love it in black and white. Always an interesting narrative from you, Phil. Thank you.

[Beverley]

Great to see, I like it b&w flashback…

[Pat Knowles]

Loved hearing g about the superstitions, I can easily understand how you could be like that….if your team wins you want to replicate everything about that day. The black & white is perfect for this shot….’uup North’ & all that!

Such an interesting image - I love how they are all so focused on the entry and their tickets.

@tinley23 @carole_sandford Lesley , carole we've seen Blood Brothers several times , even though you know the ending and the narrator in the musical tells you the ending in the first few minutes of the performance , it is always a tear jerker . Highly Recommended too.
