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!

Well done, you spotted the deliberate mistake

Right, I think I got away with that!

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

It's based in peckhma but filmed in bristol

The tower blocks are on the right of the picture

Fairly sure that the incredible "Escape To Victory" final match was shot at MTK's ground in Budapest.

Saltdean Utd's Hill Park was used in a couple of Seeboard ads:

 

[Wilko]

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.

Leyton orient was the darts scene

 

[Albion Edd]

Wimbledons old ground was in The bill, I seem to remember they chased some criminals around there.

 

[cheeseroll]

Fulham & Chelsea were in episodes of Minder and 11 against 11 (channel4 film) i think used Orients ground.

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

are you sure this was written by Venables i remember Venables co writing a series with Nicholas Ball (?)

 

[Sonic The Hedgehog]

I think Walford Town 'played' at Dagenham & Redbridge's ground in Eastenders.

Yeading (former home ground of Charlie Oatway) was used in Bend It Like Beckham

Jack Regan met his snout at Loftus Road once in the Sweeney.

 

[On the Left Wing]

Yep I think that was the series I was referring to ....

 

[Jason Speaks]

Leyton orient was the darts scene

Valley Parade doubled as 'the kennel'

They also filmed at Selurst and The Den

 

[cheeseroll]

Yep I think that was the series I was referring to ....

i think i remember now. Budgies girlfriend was called Hazel but the series that Venebles wrote that starred Ball was called "Hazel"

 

[Juan Albion]

Brisbane Road - Far From the Madding Crowd

 

[Gwylan]

are you sure this was written by Venables i remember Venables co writing a series with Nicholas Ball (?)

Nearly right. Hazell was written by Terry Venables and Gordon Williams and starred Nicholas (Whatever happened to?) Ball. It wasn't at all bad.

Budgie was written by Keith Waterhouse ... and a very good series it was too.

As for the Judge John Deed episode. While it was true that judgie did get tickets for Withdean on the spur of the moment, the ground itself was never actually shown.

Saltdean Utd's Hill Park was used in a couple of Seeboard ads:

indeed it was(called the mount). we got thrown off the pitch for them to do that! ive been booed off many times but to be literally ordered off was quite upsetting

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

An animated Goldstone was in the "Snowman" oh yes

 

[Beach Hut]

St James Park was used in an episode of Spender

 

[Beach Hut]

I am pretty certain Goodison Park was used in Brookside when Sinbad proposed to some woman
