The clock at the corner of the main stand

Why the fuck does it stop on 90.00?

The doomsday clock.

Tradition. 
 

🤷

 

used to piss me off years ago (even at Hampden) but eventually most grounds ‘went with the times’ but seems Aberdeen are indeed a stopped clock

Gunner operates the clock and he has to leave bang on 90:00 to get the kettle on and make the teas.

When we sold the toaster back in the Ebbe era a frugality crept into the club, in certain instances. 

The option to operate a clock to 90:01 and beyond wasn't taken up.

Much like there is only one set of darts for the dartboard at Cormack Park 🫣.

It's only been there about 5 years.

Honestly,  8 minutes of injury time and you're just fucking guessing unless you remember to set a stop watch

The clock isn't the talking point. The fact the bath in the south isn't there now is the talking point.

Very true, but I think there's already a separate thread on that.

Isn't it an actual rule that the in stadium clocks can't show past 45 and 90 minutes? Sure it happens in all stadiums. Not sure the point of the rule is though.

Not sure why but you are right. It is the same in all stadiums.
