Arsenal to bring back Clock End
Icon to return inside new ground

Clock End: Previously at Highbury
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has confirmed the club will be reintroducing the legendary 'Clock End'.
The Clock End stood at Highbury for over 70 years until Arsenal's move to Emirates Stadium in 2006.
Upon leaving Highbury, the clock - first introduced in the 1930s - was assembled outside the new stadium.
But now the club are planning to put it back inside the ground overlooking the pitch.
"We want to bring the clock back into the stadium and we will move back to having a Clock End, North Bank and East and West Stands," Gazidis told the Daily Telegraph.
"We want to make sure it is the best stadium in the world, five, 10 and 15 years from now.
"We want to make it not just a technological marvel but a place that our fans can feel the traditions of the club."
Gazidis also brushed off speculation about Cesc Fabregas, insisting it was merely down to club elections at both Barcelona and Real Madrid.
"There is a [presidential] electoral cycle that happens at Barcelona and at Real Madrid and every time they go though the cycle there are a group of players that end up filling the column inches," he insisted.

Doubt it, quite a few children over there as the FE is in the one corner and in the other are the away fans.lagerisgood1981 wrote:Great news!!
Hopefully the new Clock End will be a good as the old one .......
Looking at the seating plan, for a typical game (depending on the usual away allocation being taken) The Clock end would only constist of 4 blocks
