The RFL had hoped to be able to get clocks in for the season commencing but it has nor been possible to get them in at all non TV games this week. They expect to take delivery of clocks for all grounds in the next 7 - 10 days.
This friday vs Hull KR we will have use of the Sky Big Screen which will have a countdown clock as part of the display.
We will then have our own permanent countdown clock situated in the East Stand for the Catalans home game (26th February)

Thanks for clearing that up, Mick. My dad was a bit peeved about it too! |

Thanks Mick.
I appreciate that this isn't controlled by the club, but it's just typical of the RFL to insist that something is compulsory and then not to deliver on their own ruling.
Farcical mismanagement from Red Hall yet again.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

I have always thought that a clock positioned in the North stand would be ideal for the fans... All home fans could see it there.

It doesn't suprise me in the slightest that this is an RFL mistake. The sooner we get a complete overhaul at Red Hall the better IMO. |

Apparently this isn't allowed, as it would give an advantage to the team attacking that end. (They would be able to see the clock at all times, whilst the opposition would have to turn away from play to check). |

Agreed, the game is going backwards at an alarming rate in terms of leadership, but with Wood & Cummings in key positions, its hardly suprising.
We saw massive improvement when Lewis took over, as he was top line in his field, but as his involvement lessens, we seem to be going back to the old days. |

It is unfair to blame the RFL for there being no clock on friday.
At present there are only 3 in the country which are being rotated around the various grounds.
We possibly could have had the clock on friday albeit on a temporary basis. It would have had to have been situated in a temporary position and then taken out. Such was the expense, manpower and paperwork (risk assessments, health and safety etc) that is was deemed on Thursday (jointly by the club, stadium and RFL) to concentrate on getting the permanent clock in for the Catalans game.
As stated the Hull KR game next week will see the Sky Big Screen used for the countdown clock.
Having experienced countdown clocks in the Guinness Premiership during my time at Newcastle Falcons I can say they are a fantastic addition to match days. During tight games they really add to the excitement at the end of each half and they can assist in preventing mishaps with the hooter/final whistle.
Regards
Mick
