Saw it for the first time during the Aberdeen-Rangers game.

Nice nod to CCFC and Two Tone but also to Delia Derbyshire too.

Pleased to see the absence of Wasps.

Hopefully that's because they won't be here much longer

I'm pretty sure on 47 seconds they are using Birmingham's ring road.

I'm pretty sure on 47 seconds they are using Birmingham's ring road.

It is the Coventry ring road, it's the station junction, the next junction being the sky dome junction. Its sign posted left lane Redditch, right lane for next 2 junctions Birmingham (A45) (Holyhead Road) and Tamworth (Radford Road). The footage is from late 70's early 80's.

Oh that explains it then. Thought the Redditch was a bit strange and didn't recognise it.
