Omens and portents…

Omens and portents…

Redskins loss equals Kerry win etc etc - one of the (few) enviable things about US politics is their forest of signs and portents that ‘predict’ elections, many of which are sporting. Does Britain have any equivalents? Is there some lower league team whose Saturday result has “predicted” every general election since 1922? Or a village cricket team whose sunday innings is always within 20 of the Tory seat total? Answers on a polling card please…
