******************************

The 1980 Open top bus ride from Somerton Park to the Civic Centre, thanks to Alan Harris for the photos.

(Top and Below) Here comes the bus and just look at the crowds waiting opposite the Railway Station, the Tredegar Arms is on the right.

A lovely close up of the players who won the Welsh Cup and Promotion, looks like Gary Plumley has spotted a familar face in the crowds and Steve Lowndes and Keith Oakes take good care of the Welsh Cup.

The bus now passed the Station and makes it's way to the Civic

Another great shot of the players. Nigel Vaughan and Tommy Tynan take care of the Welsh League Championship Trophy

The bus is now outside the Civic (above) and again just look at the crowds! (below)
