i cant remember the last time i had to keep looking at my watch to see how many minutes to go...nothing fancy, we could have charlton life painted on it and instead of an automatic or one with a battery, it could be a wind up...

    Agree. Didnt really miss the screen today apart from the fact i had to keep getting my phone out to see how long left etc. Could we just have a count to 45 minutes or something on there?

    LOL - was going to post the same thing. Might have to start wearing a bloody watch!

    proper old school with people asking ''how long to go?''

    I wonder if it also meant fewer early leavers?

    Totally agree, we definately need a clock. When were a goal up late on which will happen regualarly this season it helps to know how long is left.

    yeah the only thing that annoyed me, mainly cause I didn't check my watch as to what time the second half kicked off !

    Programme sales will go up too, couldnt tell who was who quickly enough and no more glancing at the screen to find out.

    Not at £5 at time they wont. lets hope this is the last time the club incorporate a handbook in it's programme. I bet the Bournemouth fans were delighted.

    sure it will be the last time........ this season ; - )

    If you really want to organise a collection for a clock then do it don't just talk about it.

    Can't we take 2 bits of the screen that still work, and put them in the west stand and the north stand with the time on them?
  • Off_itOff_it
    Don't we need someone to do the necessary research and come up with a business case first though Henry? Then there's the fire certificate, etc.

    Couldn't we just get the ball boys to hold up a board counting down the last ten minutes?
    ;o)

    Actually, couldn't we just pawn the big screen to get some cash for a clock. Must be able to get something for it.

    I think this one is available:

    Didn't Millwall nick it a few years back?

    Oh no, silly me, that was all bulls**t and bravado on their part, wasn't it?!

    Yeah man....

    A clock would be great.. proper old skool...

    Back to the roots...

    cafcandy,

    Well done for starting the collection. I'll match your tenner

    Only another £124,980 for you to raise now.
  • Henry IrvingHenry Irving
    why are so sure? What about running costs?

    The old screen has had it.
  • mascot88mascot88
    Id love an old school scoreboard, F*** the jumbogay... lets go back to the old days... big clock and score board...
  • Henry IrvingHenry Irving
    lots of guesses in there and the running costs are more than breams poxy graphics i'm afraid

    Email the club and get an actual cost
  • Covered EndCovered End
    [cite]Posted By: CafcAndy[/cite]Im sure a sponsor would cover the running costs, because that the only place the money could go if we fully own the big screen...Surely?

    Woud be interesting to get a cost, but maybe it's beyond repair.

    A whip round for a clock it is then..

    I believe we tried to find a sponsor, with no success.

    The clock is in Airman's shed.

    Why would I put a bib on the screen? Bit silly.

    What about a Charlton Life fob watch badge...?

    I bet they'd be the next rage...

    we're in Greenwich, the home of time (GMT) from which all world time zones are based and we haven't even got a clock!! I'll match Henry's tenner.

    Porky Sparrow, why are you on this site on a Sunday evening looking at a discussion about a clock ? Did you misread the title and get excited ?

    I've got a second hand, if you want it.
