Grimsby Town prepare for a new season - in 1980

[@bobkippuz]

Lincoln fan here but have to say that's some quality film !

[@andisadler2897]

The old cinema were mcdonalds is now crazy history. When i was a kid it was easy to get into Blundell Park there was a corner down a back alley near Imperial Av! and you could climb and drop right in lol. Seen loads of games that way in 80s.!!. All shops down Grimsby Road sold programmes back then. The Imp would be packed. What happened.

Some views of a stand that did not exist in the summer of 1980. Namely Findus stand which was built following summer

[@yellowbelly06]

Agree. If you have fantastic recall and sharp eyesight you’ll see on one of the external shots of the Findus stand the offices of Viking Radio (now the club shop); this station wasn’t on air until 1984. Also the photoshoot shows the kit bearing Nisa as a sponsor which did not happen until the start of the 1984 season.
