What’s all this fuss about the font ? 04:54 - Jun 3 with 3395 viewsreadtheleaguetable

I can’t say I care about what the “eff” in “football” looks like, as long as we win.

(I am almost certain someone else will have thought of and posted this pun which has just been begging to be used, but if they did I missed it, so just had to make sure it was not omitted.)

I'd need to see the font to know but am a little bit far away from the ground these days.

I can see a future for Portman New Roman.

Because it’s iconic.

Apart from the trophies themselves it’s probably the first thing that stands out in the traditional team photo from every great side we’ve had almost.

The font itself is horrible and out of date if you see it anywhere else. But it’s a small link to the days we were one of the greatest in the land and we should rightly protect any small link like that to those days.

To give the banter era a fitting send off we should replace it with comic sans.

Well, this is a fair point. But what better way to show that the banter era is still going strong than to have comic sans as our chosen font on the Cobbold. It's a win/win.

Wow. Tough audience. So many who cannot “get” a joke or “take” one.
I blame the schools!
Thought it was pretty clear I was not complaining about the font on the stands or anyone’s desires to keep or change it. Just using a very old, bad pun for a tongue-in-cheek comment on the never ending debate about whether attractive football is more important than winning football.
Someone wants to change the look of the letters on the stands, which of course include the “f” in ‘football’. And we of course endlessly debate the effin’ football.
Didn’t know it would be such hard work. Should have known ! This is TWTD.

I didn’t make up this very old bad pun and I am not actually commenting on the font. Just telling a bad joke, just for the heck of it, about pretty v winning football.
