I expect a lot of lads wandered down from the Barracks plus all the Cotton Mills & maybe Docks were going full belt. I bet the whole town was buzzing at that time.

Was posting this. Just received as a present from the missus's sister. Never come across it before. Starting it tonight.

The barracks definitely, but weren’t the mills staffed mostly women during the war? It’s a moot point though, the game in question was actually played in 1938, ie pre-war.
OP
I can see them if I click on where it says view attachment, they open.
I don't know for definite ( There's a WW1 Preston History book but I've not see a WW2 )
ROF Chorley/Euxton & White Lund@ Morecambe took on a lot of lasses .
As Uniform-Making was a big requirement, I'd think that there would be a lot of the most skilled people would have to keep kept on in a lot of Lancashire Mills.
It needs researching.

That looks like an aerial shot of our inter-departmental game in July 1989….
The famous night when I scored 3 goals in our 4-3 win..
Put the bottle down Ando
Was on sale in the shop 3/4 years ago priest, thats where I picked my copy up.
Plenty of memories relived, good, bad and funny.
Enjoy!
Correct Janie, we went in a van and stopped over for the weekend.
Very tasty after that game outside, we hid away in their supporters club called The 'corner post 'till it calmed down,
then stopped just outside Plymouth for the evening session.
An area I cannot remember.

No sound but still a good watch and a reminder of the old Deepdale. Anyone go to this game?

1998/1999 ish ?
I remember us playing Greenock Morton in September 1979 in the Anglo Scottish Cup
We had lost in the first leg away 2-0 , one week earlier.
We lost the second leg at Deepdale 1-3.
Was on that one Janie, still got the programme. Did we win 3-0.? Was on the Kop. Our first game back in Div 2 the following Saturday was a 0-0 draw at Carlisle.
Fascinating footage thanks for that! 👍
We also played Partick again in Dec 86 at Deepdale, forgot the score on that one.
We also played Linfield at Deepdale. in 71 or 72 ,
