In this electrifying image captured by renowned photographer Bernard Platt, the intensity and passion of the Battle of Lancashire between Preston North End and Blackpool football clubs come alive. The 2013-14 season opener at Deepdale Stadium on August 5th, 2013, marked the beginning of a new football year in Lancashire, England, and the long-standing rivalry between these two historic clubs was more evident than ever. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric as the teams took to the field, with the Preston North End fans in their iconic deep blue and white stripes, and the Blackpool supporters donning their tangerine colors. The anticipation was palpable as both sets of players prepared for the first kick-off of the season. The action in this photograph captures the very essence of the beautiful game. The Preston North End player in the foreground, with determination etched on his face, is poised to challenge for the ball, while his Blackpool counterpart, equally focused, attempts to protect it. The clash between the two players is a microcosm of the larger battle unfolding on the pitch, with each team vying for supremacy. The vibrant colors of the players' shirts and the lush green grass of the pitch are beautifully contrasted against the backdrop of the crowded stands, filled with passionate fans cheering their teams on. The sun, setting behind the stadium, casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of drama and excitement. Bernard Platt's photograph is a testament to the enduring rivalry between Preston North End and Blackpool, and the passion and intensity that comes with every encounter between these two Lancashire giants. It is a moment frozen in time, a snapshot of the beautiful game at its very best.
