Can cheaters see the raid count down clock still?

Something that has come up recently, is that 3 times within 15 mins of a raid happening on a gym, another team takes the gym and on the take back, a raid occurs. As I am not up to speed with the cheats, is it possible to see the raid count down clock still?

You can check the countdown at gymhuntr.com (raid countdown, not the battle tho).

I tested that site on the area that I can see in the game and it's not accurate.

Ever since legendary raids there are no countdowns that I can see at all, for any raids. I have no idea how anyone would know where a raid is about to pop up. Please enlighten me if I'm missing something. I'm guessing the spoofers you're dealing with are just battling over a gym and a raid occurs coincidentally. Otherwise they'd have to know what level (5) it was going to be to prioritize their takeovers.

There's now no way to see when a raid is about to happen. Raid bosses just appear without being hatched from eggs like before and every raid has a 2-hour time limit, which is extremely annoying for places with very few gyms.

Right, at first I found this annoying. I'm in a relatively active area, though not a city, and although sometimes only 3 people show, occasionally 40+ people show up and it makes me think that Niantic didn't want a swarm of 100 people showing up at a black egg for an hour countdown.

Well, when you live in an area where gyms are scarce and you have to drive to them, those countdown timers were invaluable.
You coulld drive past a remote gym and know if a raid was going to start in an hour, 30 minutes or whatever. Then you could plan and contact a few friends to get them there in time. Now, all you can do is HOPE that you find a raid somewhere within the first few miutes of it happening, and that others can show up.
Talk about a waste of time, sitting somewhere for an hour waiting for a raid to maybe pop up!
They should put the countdown timers back up for hte tier 1 - 4 raids at least. I can understand if they don't for the Legendaries, but the rural players need the advance warning.

I can't disagree with you. :) I feel the same. Keep countdown timers with an egg icon on top of gyms for low-leveled bosses. Legendaries can just pop up anytime they want.
