Our Scandinavian supporters' club held a belated party for their 40th anniversary – a year later than planned, due to Covid – at the Gronland Boule Bar.
In attendance were club legends Sammy McIlroy and Bryan Robson, along with fellow former players Russell Beardsmore, Luke Chadwick and Keith Gillespie.
The huge sports bar was a sea of red, as supporters sang and caroused their way through the evening, excited at the thought of seeing their heroes in the flesh at the Ullevaal Stadion on Saturday afternoon.

As the team were arriving at a hotel north of the city, fans enjoyed a discussion with well-known fan and journalist Andy Mitten.
A Q&A with the aforementioned United players followed, with Russell Beardsmore bringing the house down with tales of throwing snowballs at an unimpressed Sir Alex Ferguson.
Luke Chadwick spoke of our former boss's incredible personal touches, and how the immortal Scot had helped him through a difficult part of this own life.
Meanwhile, Robbo gave some insights on Tour 2022, and how Erik ten Hag has started life as manager.

There was musical entertainment from Greater Manchester singer Ryan Jarvis, who led the crowd through some classic United chants like Take Me Home, United Road and Pride of All Europe.
The youngster also played a cracking selection of Manchester tunes, including United fan favourites like Sit Down by James and Sally Cinnamon by the Stone Roses.
With the drinks flowing and fans freely getting up on stage to start their own chants off, the mood was fantastic.
