please do dig out the pictures as they may stop my head exploding. Looking from the covered end the main stand is on your left, perhaps its been built since and the celebrations were conducted in the tiny little stand on the other side....

Exactly, so glad it's not just me Jim. I reckon there was another stand on that side, it wasn't full length I'm sure. Middle span about like ours.

I was behind the open end for the whole game.....where we scored our two first half goals.The main stand......where the trophy was presented was to the left. I thought we were segregated.....but I'm not sure about this.

Definitely sure about where the presentations were though.......that stand is virtually the same to this day....just new seats....opposite has always been a standing covered terrace.

I remember that the blonde girl who presented Choc-A-Bloc was really beautiful and I liked watching Bod.

Sorry Cult, that's as much as I can remember of May 1980..

Ballers,

Thirty one years on....but I suspect that some things haven't changed.....

Huge thanks to everyone who has submitted their reminiscences either via this thread or by sending me an email or two.

There's still time for any late contributions......
