I can remember a few we lost
Assuming that there are only 2 choices, i.e. playing at home or playing away and assuming that a previous away draw does not influence a subsequent away draw, then the chances of drawing 13 away is 1 in 8192. Rather small chance.Quote:

There was a US Park Ranger called Roy Sullivan who was struck by lightning seven times during his life and survived every time. Additionally, his wife was once hanging out washing and when Roy popped out to help her, she was struck by lightning.Quote:
