In 1975 they became Radford Olympic after the firm's move away from Nottingham to Scotland in 1970 and have the Olympic rings on the club crest as a result. In 1977 Radford became the first amateur side in Britain to sport advertising on their shirts and appeared on the BBC as a result. They took up residence at Selhurst Street for the 1981-82 season.
