Withdean Clock.

I know we can't do anything about the facilities that we have, but why can't we organise even the most simple things in the world.

We have a clock to countdown the time for each half, yet nearly every week it doesn't get re-set for the second half. It's this type of things which makes us look silly; let's face it, it's not difficult, just a matter of getting someone to ensure that they re-set st the start of the second half.

It's not a lot to ask for really.

They can have a lovely new one, with super-bright l.e.d. digits, that you would actually be able to read clearly from any part of the ground, showing the countdown, plus the scores, for £15,000.

MP can pm me for details!

Not a lot to ask but beyond the wit of the club to reset it at half-time - a good question for the insider if he was available.

And why play music before the 15 minute deadline? That's the deal we shook hands upon at Withdean so stick to it Attila. No good moaning that the club had received complaints; we broke the agreement.

And rather than inflict you love of 80s punk on us week after week perhaps we could have something more in tune with everyone ?

we've only had 8 years to train somebody to hit a re-set button.......give them time ffs. You lot are too impatient

The clock wasn't there when we first played at Withdean. So only about 4 years, I think!

The clock was provided by a kind sponsor whose name is upon it. It seems a shame that the club let down this fine local supporter of the club quite often by not using properly what they said they wanted!

As others have said, it surely can't be difficult.

Alternatively you could just make a note of what time the 2nd half kicked off and work out how long was left through the power of arithmatic.

Can't see the clock from the family stand.

We had a bit of a panic as we were walking through the park and heard music playing in the ground, thought it was a 7.30 kick off. Not sure we need to piss the neighbours off at this stage.
