Look at the new gable

Post by Chicken Dhansak »

For years, being a hot metal compositor, the gable on the East stand used to wind me up, it not being centralised. The new gable looks
so much better. 8-)

I think it's just the lettering that has been replaced , the Gable is in the same position .

If those are the letters you've bid for in the auction then I'm afraid you've been had.

So the badge is off-centre, for some reason, and the pic still doesn't show whether the gable has been moved or not (I suspect not, but the OP seemed to indicate that it had been)

The gable isnt the best shape
I dont think the badge is off centre
The left side is slightly longer than the right sight &
Less steep to the peak


Damn ive gone as O.C.D as you have Spike .

The badge looks like it's about 1 inch right of centre, but it looks really good so I'm not going to be pedantic about it.

By your user name I figured that you had some knowledge of the printing trade. What union were you in, I was in the NGA.

Have we been able to establish if the gable has been centered or not?

And heh at the off-center badge.
