Hi all.
Just got back from holiday, whilst driving past the brit i noticed that the score board was missing. Does this mean that the new video screen we are having is imminent!
Would appreciate any feedback from anyone in the know.
Thanks in anticipation.
Longton.

They have to put in the new footings - the new board is expected by Christmas.

I wonder if Stoke are going to break a Premier League rule tomorrow - that a time elapsed clock must be shown somewhere within the ground.

Thanks Forny.
Meanwhile all those that watch the game from the bank will have a great view, (for the next two home games anyway).

Cheeky beer during the match, plastic cup... then get on the hill... lol... I wonder if there will be a Delilah to come from the hill?? First ever?  But id rather pay 32 quid for a ticket in the wind tunnel & pay 2.90 for a carlsberg with no cap...  |

Homzy- surely we will break it? Unless a stop watch is put in every seat? |

Hope we dont lose any of our potential points with not having a clock around the place.

I'm sure we will break it, unless we have a LED display like the one at St James' Park. I don't mind telling you it's been giving me restless nights for weeks |

New screen will be in fot the televised Man U game. Great opportunity to watch some free games from the bank outside, should be able to see most of the pitch for the next couple of games  |

The consequences could be huge Homzy. I fully expect the Hull match to be played behind closed doors  |

Look it's been taken out purely and simply in case TP plays Periwinkle.
Let's face it we can't put it on ebay if it's broken.

are you sure?
I'm sufficently bored and sad enough to have downloaded the the premier league hand book off their website.
I've just had a scan through it, theres an entire section on 'ground criteria' but it only talks about what you can/can't show on a big screen. It doesnt seem to stipulate that you have to have to have anything showing the time?
is it an FA rule?

I wonder if Stoke are going to break a Premier League rule tomorrow - that a time elapsed clock must be shown somewhere within the ground. is that really a rule? if so what's the definiton of 'somewhere within the ground'? And surely we would have asked for permission...??  |

you would assume that TS has asked the football league for special dipensation in this case, unless he was busy trying to find zigic and forgot!! perhaps we should email him and see? anyone know his email address ??? ;D |

I wondered why people where singing 'Time to go' at the end of the Sunderland game.

I really missed it v Rotherham. Didn't realise how often I subconsciously check the clock until I kept glancing over then forgetting and looking again 10 mins later!

Gonzo - It went after the Arsenal game not Sunderland. We sang time to go v Sunderland to give their fans a nice send off.
Adster - we know longer come under football league league, we are Premier League now

If it's a matter of getting in hot water with the Premier League, surely we could have forked out a few quid on a massive analogue clock to just shove up there for the time being? Failing that, it just shows what a bunch of muppets we've got working on the scene down there. We've had since frigging May to sort this out....

Quite sad i know, but i'm gonna miss that scoreboard, if only for the reason that i've just realised how bloody often i look at it during the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it something to do with not being able to accuse officials of rigging the time?

I didn't think it would bother me, but during the Rotheram game I looked up to check the time on countless occasions.
