NEW CLOCK

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I'm pretty sure it's been changed a few times. There was a rumour/legend that it was lost when the executive boxes were being built in the late 1980s
Really................. :shock: :shock:

And as for losing the Clock in the late 80s...thats a new one on me too!

Im really impressed with the New Clock... think it looks great! It will be nice to have an official unveiling for the first home game too.

It looks like we conceeded a goal! :shock: :lol:

One of the players in white appears to be running to the clock end with both hands in the air. There's also a guy in the crowd on the right who's punching the air.
But it must be a cup game as the left side of the Clockend, normally for home fans, looks to be celebrating.
