Swindon Town’s head coach, Ian Holloway, has attributed his team’s poor form to what he describes as negative energy at the club’s training ground, reports The Sun. With Swindon languishing at the bottom of the League Two table, Holloway has turned to an unconventional method to reverse their fortunes—addressing what he believes are restless spirits haunting the facility.
"I'm going to try and cleanse the training ground area because people are telling me it's haunted. There's a graveyard somewhere near. Honestly, I'm not joking. I think our training ground is very close to an ancient burial site. I'm going to get my wife to come up and say sorry to all these people and hopefully we'll have a bit more luck," Holloway said in an interview with the BBC.
Holloway, known for his colorful personality, has previously shared paranormal experiences. He once claimed that his late father communicated with him by turning up the volume of a song playing on his car radio—a gesture meant to reassure and encourage him during tough times.
Whether or not the supernatural has a role in Swindon’s struggles, Holloway’s unique approach certainly adds intrigue to the club’s efforts to climb the league table.
