I can't answer the question directly, but it raises an interesting
point! Having spent hours trying to identify Notts County and other

Your group seems to be positioned in the upper tier of a pavilion,
with a crest of some sort in front of them. Maybe we need a
catalogue of pavilions!

Best wishes, Tony
