A picture below from 1980. Norwich are clearly one of the teams but who are the opponents and the referee?

The referee does have a familiar look about him. The game might be a pre-season friendly which could explain the thin attendance. I wondered if the opponents might be Colchester (similar strip) but the stadium with its red seats doesn't fit either team.
I can't help with the ref but this picture appears on the front of a programme on ebay for the Norwich v Shrewsbury League Cup tie 2nd rd 2nd leg, played at Carrow Road on 3rd Sept 1980. I think it can be assumed that the picture was taken before the start of the 1st leg tie played on 26th Aug 1980 which might explain the paucity of the crowd and the red seats. A West Midlands ref such as Civil or Hamil (but not Seville) could fit the profile but no idea who.
It's 100% not Shrewsbury. I think it's definitely Colchester, given their home kit in 1980/81 looked like that pictured:

In those days, programme covers were printed in bulk and that same cover was also used for the Norwich v Stoke game on the opening day of the 1980/81 season (look it up on Ebay).
More likely, the image is from a pre-season friendly between Norwich and Colchester, which means the referee is likely to have been fairly local to Norfolk/East Anglia.
I've asked my Norwich mate whether Carrow Road had red seats at the time.
EDIT: Just had confirmation that the South Stand at Carrow Road once had red seats, so that's where it is.
