Don't get me wrong I can understand why they might hold a special place in people's hearts and I am the king of old tat and memorabilia, for instance I will pay whatever the outrageous price to get a Goodison seat when it does come down so I can have an old wooden piece of history but to integrate that clock in a state of the art stadium I don't think is possible. Perhaps on the side of a tv screen maybe ok? But it's just not for me.

Does it come with the lad glued to the top?

Not sure how asking about them equals an obsession.

But for me it’d be a nice and realistically do-able way to incorporate something relating to Goodison.

To me the Leitch crosses could be added via electronic advertising boards on the upper tier (they don't have to be displayed all the time) and/or we could try to create the half circles behind the goal as per the 1966 Goodison. Ok that leads to a reduced capacity but it is unmistakably Goodison, compared to some clocks that were added for a corporate sponsor that no longer holds any sway and were taken down in 1985.

So your best memory of 'Old Goodison' is a barrier for dart throwing hooligans...you'll be wanting stacks of police horse poo and woodbine packets dotted around the outside next...Get some therapy mate, distinct wiff of Cronomentrophobia here...point on the doll where the clock touched you.

Haha degsy. I think I could if I so wanted to throw a dart the extra few meters to clear that small gap:

Just like the clocks, it is what we personally take from Goodison and to be honest when you are sat directly behind the goal you don't see a lot of what is happening at the other end and that's where these circles help to lift you up to then be able to see the more of the field. Much more useful than an old clock. ;)

Ps we would be here all day if I told you what the clock did to me, the big hand and the small hand were both in places that they should never have been.. :p

I’d rather just make our own history in the new stadium. Don’t get me wrong, bring the Dixie Dean statue, but leave it at that.

Some people want a spruced up Goodison on the dock.

Completely agree.

History is all well and good and I appreciate the need to celebrate our past as much as anyone, but we're a club that's encased in it like a tomb at times and it suffocates us. Leave all the nonsense about Rupert Towers and Leitch criss-crosses and Littlewoods clocks behind and embrace the future. It's time to move on.
