Wolves are probably playing in black & amber stripes, but it appears to be all black, judging from this clip

@wolfman9874 This video is Deepdale. The pitch you are looking at in this video is still played on today by Preston North End.

I'm sure its the old Spion Kop aka Fulwood End, not the Town End?

[wolfman9874]

@NorthEndFan Correct me if im wrong, so it is deepdale?

[druidus]

Amazingly good quality. There's film from fifty years later that is much worse than this!

[NorthEndFan]

Get in the Wolves! Shame the voice over is done by Boggie Adrian Chiles - how dull.

Premier league here we come.
