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.
