Re: Let's Get That Goblin Clock Back, Everyone!!!
Definetly bring it back, used to be loads of people waiting to see it open and surely they would then shop in Accrington!!

Re: Let's Get That Goblin Clock Back, Everyone!!!
it should never have been removed in the first place, was always a fair number in arndale on the hour with kiddies etc to see, would be interesting to see how arndale takings have changed since its removal? though thats obvious to me cos many premises have closed or changed ownership since its removal. no wonder the bloody towns dying with clowns like this.
 its a knocking bet that certainly contributed.

Re: Let's Get That Goblin Clock Back, Everyone!!!
I agree it should go back where it was in the first place after all what has ever replaced it?? A cafe that wasn't needed with seating around and now the space is just empty!!

Re: Let's Get That Goblin Clock Back, Everyone!!!
Before we get carried away we need to find out a few things:
Who actually owns the clock? Where is it now? How badly damaged is it? Can it be repaired?
