The "Superkings" ad was the last to appear above the scoreboard before it was demolished. Presumably "Shipstones" was the original and that ad was still there around 1979, though I'm sure it had gone by the time I started attending in 1982, probably replaced by "John Player Special" circa promotion in 1981 which was still in place at the time Warnock first took over. So the "Superkings" ad was very short-lived.
