In 1964, during the Charlton Athletic versus Norwich City Division 2 League match, a sequence was captured from different areas of the Charlton stands, including the back, mid-stands, and closer views. The footage showed Norwich City's Bill Punton dribbling the ball forwards, while the largely male crowd, with a few women and girls, clapped in appreciation. The narrator commented that 60 years prior, on a Saturday afternoon, Woolwich Arsenal workers would have played for the Arsenal team. However, the narrator lamented that the modern-day Arsenal players do not care much about their origins. A still photograph of the 1905-6 Woolwich Arsenal League Team was also shown. As the narrator discussed the declining significance of Woolwich, workers were shown leaving through Woolwich Arsenal's Middle Gate on Plumstead Road. They departed on foot, bikes, and in cars, with a VW Beetle leading the way. Policemen were seen directing traffic on either side of the Royal Arsenal Gatehouse on Beresford Square. The narrator warned that the arsenal might shut down unless people like Frank Glasson fought to keep it open. Frank Glasson, dressed in a suit, was filmed sitting on a wooden bench at Shrewsbury Park. The camera captured him from the front, in close-up, and from behind, looking downhill over Woolwich. The panoramic view included Plumcroft Primary School. A closer view over the rooftops from the park showed the Rockmount Estate and panned to Woolwich Power Station. Mr Glasson spoke about his long service at the Arsenal, the impact of a possible closure, and a petition to Parliament against the decision. The scene then shifted to views of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, with the beginning of the petition being read out. According to the narrator, Woolwich had to fight for its survival in the past. In 1906, Arsenal workers, led by Will Crooks, who was the Labour M.P for Woolwich East, organized a rally in Trafalgar Square and presented a petition to the Prime Minister. A still photo was shown of the crowded rally, which included a brass band, policemen, and a large banner demanding "A Fair Share of the Nation's Work." Another photo depicted the crowd at Trafalgar Square, with policemen and rally leaders, including Ramsay MacDonald and Will Crooks (holding the petition) in a group to the side of a lion statue. Former Labour Party leader Arthur Henderson was seen standing in front of the lion.
