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.

Going to bother posting a photo?

The auction of the old one seems to have stalled

Has it been centred, then?

Simple enough question .... and yet..

Posted: **Thu Jun 17, 2021 4:02 pm**

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.

Sorry, being a bit of a Dinosaur, I don't know how to upload a photo to the MB.

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.

But if it was centered it wouldnt be over the y & t .

That would blow even more minds

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.

Was in the old National Society of Electrotyper & Stereotyper and as you know ultimately amalgamated with the NGA

Yes, hope they have improved the soap dispensers snd dryers in West Stand, what with covid

Posted: **Fri Jun 18, 2021 1:14 pm**

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

And heh at the off-center badge.

Obvious that the email they banged in to hang it off had to be put next to the beading or whatever it is
