Feng Shui, we always thought, was the sound you made when you sneezed but, we've been told, it is actually an ancient Chinese art that involves moving your furniture around your room until you feel mellow (or something like that).
When Feng shui "experts" Guy de Beaujeu and Patrick Stockhausen arrived at Bristol Rovers one day last year and promised that if let work their magic a mellow Rovers line-up would beat Gillingham in their next game, the club said "yes please".
So, on the advice of the pair, the club installed a tank containing plastic fish behind one of the goals, staff were asked to ensure that the ground's toilet seats were down at all times, a ceramic frog was hung above the front gate, potted house plants were positioned in all four corners of the players' dressing room and hanging wind chimes were placed around the stadium. Match result? Bristol Rovers 0, Gillingham 1.
PS: Last Friday night mortified Rovers officials tuned in to ITV2's comedy series The Gatecrashers and realised they'd been had - the whole Feng shui thing was a prank. Blushes all 'round. Ceramic frog binned.
