Swindon Town's manager Ian Holloway claims the club's training ground is 'haunted', damaging the team's chances in League Two. Holloway took charge in October but failed to collect a point until last weekend's 2-2 draw with Accrington Stanley. The club's captain Ollie Clarke suffered an ankle injury in training, prompting Holloway to drastic measures. He plans to 'cleanse' the training ground area, which is near an ancient burial site. Holloway's wife will visit the site to 'say sorry' to those buried there, hoping to improve the team's luck. This is not the first time hauntings have been linked to football clubs, with Middlesbrough, Leyton Orient, and Derby County experiencing similar issues. Former Birmingham manager Barry Fry reportedly urinated on the pitch to ward off a curse, but Holloway will not go that far. Swindon Town is currently 22nd in League Two and faces Morecambe on Saturday. The team's poor form has raised concerns among fans, who are eager to see an improvement. Holloway's unorthodox approach may raise eyebrows, but he is willing to try anything to turn the team's fortunes around. With the help of his wife and a bit of luck, Swindon Town may be able to break the 'curse' and start winning again. The club's next match against Morecambe will be a crucial test of their resolve. Ian Holloway is 61 years old and has previously managed Blackpool, Leicester City, Crystal Palace, and Queens Park Rangers. His experience and determination may be just what Swindon Town needs to succeed. The team's fans will be watching closely, hoping for a change in luck and a return to winning ways.
