Friday the 13th is a day of mystique, superstitions and bad luck! It has also been estimated that around £250 million is lost from the Stoke economy every Friday the 13th because people can’t be bothered to turn up to work on those days! (Or the Jobcentre.)
It is thought the rumours of bad luck were started by snooty (15-a-aside) Rugby Union fans, who wanted to denigrate the working class fans of (13-a-side) Rugby League, so they put the word out onto the street that 13 was an unlucky number, a belief many people have latched onto down the years.
