David Stockdale's Two O.G. Towel: What To Do With It?

Dear Fellow Worshippers Of The Blue And White Stripes,

Last April I ventured East to watch our (mostly still hungover) team suffer a 2-0 reverse against Norwich 'thanks' to a brace of own goals by David Stockdale. Unable to secure a ticket in the Albion section, I sat directly behind the goal at which our, until then, heroic keeper scored Norwich's two goals from (infamously) their only two shots on target - both in the first half.

Perhaps intentionally, or maybe just forgetfully, Stockdale returned to the dressing room without his towel and tucked into the net it remained for the rest of the match. At the end of the match a kind Norwich City steward passed me the aforementioned towel (see photo) and I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm aware that we haven't won a competitive league match since and I don't believe in curses but I'm open to suggestions...

Return the towel to the Albion and present yourself at the local police station and hand yourself in for theft.
It is not finders keepers

Hmmm.

Ordinarily, I'd say that it's a great souvenir from a key player in a promotion winning season, so it should be framed and hung in an appropriately prominent position. However, the player left the club before you honoured his talisman. This is the cause of us not having won a league game since. Burn it. Burn it now. If that doesn't stop the nonsense, I fear that you'll have to sacrifice yourself for the greater good.

The only way to exorcise this curse is by wearing the towel to the next game. And just the towel.

If you love the Albion, then you will do this. The towel needs to know it is loved and respected.

you could always retire "the sock" now for something that takes a bigger load. :whistle:

You could put it on twitter on the very slim chance that Stockdale will re-tweet it. He hardly ever uses titter so it may be a waste of time.

So this is why Stockdale didn't want to stay, someonr nicked his favourite towel.
