Some kind of time keeper at The Valley

I think that it is very annoying that there isn't a little clock built into a sideboard or something. How are we suppose to know how longs left without asking the bloke next to you to borrow his watch .

Yes, they could put it on a screen somewhere...0

People don't wear watches these days.
I hear that some of those new-fangled phone thingies have clocks inside them.
Egg-timer app or something.
Try to keep up.0 -
Who cares0

What you should do is count in your head each second. In a 45 minute half there will be 2,700 seconds, failing that look at your phone/watch.0

Thought there was an idea about putting a small clock in the ground, but money is tight.
Otherwise, use your phone or watch0 -
Young peopel today when i was youth, I took egg timer down ta valley and every three minutes turned it over - simples0

I like the idea of a sideboard at the Valley
Maybe with built in radiogram and a drinks cabinet0 -

You're right.
We'd need some kind of a signal.0 -

But how on earth would that be possible?
What with FIFAs reluctance to use technology to improve the game for us poor fans.0 -

Oh yes and an ice bucket shaped like a pineapple[cite]Posted By: Floyd Montana[/cite]But how on earth would that be possible?

Don't think it has to be high tech. Maybe if the ref rang a bell to remind us?0 -

Could the drinks cabinet perhaps be shaped like a globe, and on wheels?[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]

It will NEVER catch on FACT
Surely there must be another way? A Rank style gong?0 -
The ref, yes. Of course.
He could switch on the radiogram.0 -

hard choice.
Rank Film type gong banger (one for the ladies) or turning on the radiogram with a nice bit of Harry Belafonte or the Andrews Sisters.
Only problem with using the radiogram is that they take a while to warm up so I think it's the gong unless someone can think of a smaller, transportable audible signalling device.0 -
Surely with flags already incorporated into the adjudication process, semaphore would be the simplest and most convenient method?0

Since the shameful abolition of national service young people are no longer taught semaphore so I think that has to ruled out although we could print the signals on the cover of the programme.0 -

Just a thought, What about a whistle?0 -

Stick to Teddy Bear care, mate, if that is the best you can come up with. A whistle! As if!0 -
Actually, Henry, it's not a bad idea ... apart from the one obvious flaw.
Our signal would get confused with the ref whistling for the start of the match. After all, they would have to happen at exactly the same moment.
Also, how would the ref blow two whistles simultaneously?
Sometimes people just don't think their ideas through.
I prefer the idea of the ref playing an accordion.0 -
whistle...too much margin for error.
for me it has to be a massive egg timer (ideally situated in our goal mouth), turned at the start of each half by celebrity dwarfs.
sorted.0 -
Oh come on Sham!
Lets go big on this one.
Surely we should fill the giant egg timer with celebrity dwarfs0 -
The Peanut man starts his round at kick off, ask him how long to go when he passes by.0

You could watch the West stand, and as you see people leaving, you know there's about 10 minutes left of the game.0

A large post erected on the centre spot, with Mr Powell marking out time divisions.
Not sure this would work for evening kick-offs0 -
