This may be an obvious question, so I apologise beforehand. Will the countdown clock be a big clock that the fans in the ground can see?

Well if DW isnt paying for it then it might just be big enough for all to see, apart from those in the West Stand

Will be in the west stand I guess under where sky commentators/cameras will be, above the glass suites. They can't have it in the south or north because the team playing towards it have an unfair advantage. I expect the countdown clock to be simplesowont be that big... big enough to see nowt flash. We shall see tomorrow.

Where did you get this from? There's a countdown on the big screen for Sky games which one team has its back to and I've never heard any complaints. Were you just making it up, come on tell the truth now

(only messing with you really

This is excellent news. I shall no longer be required to turn around to see how long is left!
BTW, there is not much unfair advantage to the players. The countdown actually stops with about 2 minutes to go!
