Grounds which have appeared in film and TV progs

[Lady Whistledown]

Don't they use Selhurst or White Hart Lane for Footballers' Wives?

Being careful not to admit to watching it too closely...

 

[On the Left Wing]

Griffin Park - United (a 1960s soap which ran for about 18 months!)

 

[Jambo Seagull]

I do! With craggy Scots coach called Willie Young who came out with the classic quote "That's football!" Every week. Cherie was class as the 'Ress.

 

[ditchy]

What ground was used for the Manageress? Does anybody actually remember this program?

yeah that was the fit bird from kenco coffee ad..cherie lunghi believe that was birmingham

 

[aftershavedave]

alf garnett filmed at upton park in the mid seventies because in the programme he was a west ham supporter. problem for the programme makers was that as warren mitchell the good north london spurs fan that he actually was, that his reception was less than friendly! if i remember rightly the film was heavily trimmed to make it look very different!!

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

I think Roker Park was used in ID, in the scene where opposition fans throw darts at the Shadwell fans. Have a feeling that the Den was used as the home ground of Shadwell.

 

[Seagullmatt]

I remember a one off program years ago about a female footballer joining the mens game. And she played for QPR. Loftus Road.

 

[On the Left Wing]

Loftus Road - Budgie (a series co-written partly by Terry Venables and starring Adam Faith!)

 

[Braders]

renford rejects- one episode at stamford bridge

 

[Seagullmatt]

Jossies (sp) Giants - St James Park (not the one in Exeter!) They went on a special trip in one episode.

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

Stade de Colombe - Escape to Victory.

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

Isn't the Berlin Olympic Stadium in the Ipcress File, or is it my crappy memory ?

 

[Johners]

The Goldstone was used for a video for Slade, I think, in season 77/78. Don't know how much of the ground & fans was actually shown though, but do remember them appearing in front of North Stand before one game on stage.

 

[On the Left Wing]

Were those the inmates or warders from Slade?

 

[Kenhead]

The New Den for Dream Team. Selhurst Park was used in The Firm, a BBC play with Gary Oldman about football holigans.

I got that on dvd recently, i was wondering what ground that was!

 

[Seagullmatt]

Loftus Road (again) - Boys from the Bush. A program about a QPR fan who emigrated to Australia in the 60's but still didn't fit in in the late 80's. In one episode he made a pilgramige to Loftus Road.

(Usless information - Main character played by Dennis Healy who is a Newcastle fan.)

 

[Kenhead]

You can see aston gate in the distance in an episode of only fools and horses, in the one with all he riots, there is a view from the towerblock and aston gate can breifley be seen

 

[Seagullmatt]

Ashton Gate? I thought Fools and horses was in Peckham!!!!

 

[Braders]

fever pitch - highbury

 

[Jambo Seagull]

Er, I think you mean Tim Healy who played Dennis in Auf Wiedersehen Pet as opposed to the former Chancellor of the Exchequer with comedy eyebrows!
