Ashtons Other Half on 09:59 - Jun 2 by PhilTWTD | It is iconic on the front of the Cobbold. I was thinking the other day that if the stand is replaced at some point then the Ipswich Town Football Club in that font should be put on the new stand somehow. |
That was kinda my point, the actual name of the club inside the ground is a different font, as is other signage. it is nice, don't get me wrong, just not that bothered about a font when I'd rather that entire stand was just replaced! |  |

Ah, I get you. Yes, I was thinking he meant the lettering on the inside when actually it was the outside that was mentioned. Agree, the lettering on the outside is less important. |  | |  |

Read that as Volta Pro Bald and thought you were having a sly dig at Phil. |  |

Ashtons Other Half on 13:39 - Jun 2 by itfcjoe | Needs wider spacing....can you do that please?! |
I haven't got the font, so was only doing it using the font example visualiser... Here's the best I can do by adding. space between each letter... |  |

That's a similar font but with a little taken off the top.

Can you draw the stand around it so we have it in context? |  | |  |

They did spend a couple of weeks presenting from the Eels foot beer garden last year, so it could've been a hybrid of the two.. |  |

Top work! I think that font is the one, although obviously I'm no expert. Would love to see that signage kept on the front of any new stand if the Cobbold were to be replaced, it's an iconic part of Portman Road for me. |  |

Something like this, you mean? |  |

I can't find anything closer. That is the iconic one rather than the one on the back of the stands, as that's always been the backdrop for multiple team photos. I agree - if the stand is updated at any point, it should be retained, I would hope. |  |

I would also suggest the other fonts may have been a poor attempt to match it. Don't seem to match the Cobbold fonts on the labels shared earlier. |  |

Ha! Only just seen this. Definitely a font we ought to use to some purpose at some point. |  | |  |
