Title: New lettering on DR stand.
Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 10:33:40
Has anyone told the club that it looks shit yet?

The letters do look a little on the thin side, but to be completely honest I couldn't really care if it looks rubbish or not.

By the sounds of it the DRS will be quite full most weeks anyway so I'm not too worried

Umm that's because they have removed the old seats and not put the white seats in yet......

Letters are too thin, looks wank.

Why didn't they just write Fatbury and be done with it.

they would look better all being the same size as the W.

New pics up on the OS.

Looks OK. Not sure I really care much to be honest.

I think it looks good personally, tidies it up a bit.

Are they changing the Arkells seats to all Red ?

I thought this was talked about and something they said would happen - but I haven't seen anything to suggest it is going to happen ?


Title: New lettering on DR stand.
Post by: Power to people on Wednesday, June 4, 2008, 12:43:51
I'm guessing the red seats taken for the DR stand will be put into the Arkells as a starting point.

Nice to see they replaced those horrible grey seats they put in though...do you think they may have swapped them into the Arkells  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

You must not start a sentence with a conjunction. Actually you can really, but we'll pretend you can't for the purposes of this thread.

It's not really a big deal, but i think it looks a bit crap.

Looks fucking crap.

The letters are different sizes and thickness.

They can't even get that right.

I thought it looked better finished than it looked like it was going to half way through....

But hey who gives a shit

Once the North stand seats are all red the ground will look loads better than it did last season.

I disagreex3

I like the multicoloured arkells seats. Are they still as multicoloured as they used to be?

It's like a battered old rainbow of love.

how many seats will that have gained the arkells anyway?
will it be enough?

Personally I couldn't give a flying fuck one way or the other. For the first time in over a decade we're debt free and for the first time in nearly as long we don't face the prospect of the club folding at any time. I could give two shits whether the S is two or three seats wide. Jeez.

I tend to agree with Lumps.
The finished article certainly looks better than it did during its construction.

In a way, I'm disappointed we didn't do a Preston North End and have a famous face imprinted onto the seats.
I think They've got Tom Finney.. we could've had Don Rogers.

I wanted to go around in public and proudly boast to strangers : "Yes, I've sat on Don Rogers face."

Haha. It would have been good although I'm not sure the seating sections are big enough for it to work?
