Last weekend against South’s at Fremantle Oval I thought what a disgrace the time clock has no hand on it to show the time of the quarter and no electronic replacement.
Now I just turned on the telly on the Sunday Footy Feast on 7 showing footage of Buddy Franklin running around for his old junior footy club in Dowerin and what do you think caught my eye?
A magnificent old school traditional Aussie Rules football time clock sitting proudly on top of their clubrooms. Looks very new too not faded like it’s been there for 30 years plus. What a disgrace some of you WAFL club CEO’s are along with WA Football that you won’t get off your ass to fix or replace our time clocks at WAFL grounds.
Agree R and L every ground should have a decent time clock. And clean toilets. Spend a few dollars on every ground and make it more comfortable to go to the footy.
The Fremantle Oval time clock has sadly been retired- for heritage reasons the clock face has been kept and hopefully into future re-instatement will occur
If that’s the line your club is running with Southerner then that’s a load of shite and a lame excuse not to fix/replace it. As you can see from the photo at Dowerin oval they still make them.
Also noticed that there were no around the grounds scores on the old fashioned scoreboard at Freo Oval on Saturday. That again isn’t hard to do, especially now with phones and WAFL apps etc. Can’t let these little things fall away, like little league!
South by the way have an electronic clock on the fence between the 2 interchange benches.
Surely in our “supposedly modern day & age” time clocks can be repaired? Or simply replaced with a decent new one. Thrre is no real reason not to have a time clock nesr the score board.
