As most football hooligan films go. It is based on the London football clubs. Usually Millwall are involved in some point in nearly all of them. Two of the most well known football hooligan films around which are: "Green street" and "The football factory". Both are based in London and both involve Millwall. The film will always be based around one set off fans and throughout the film you get a taste of their lifestyle and get to see actions between other football tam firms as the film goes on. The film usually end with a big fight between two fearsome rivals. For example, in "Green street", West Ham fight Millwall as they draw one another in the FA cup. Then in "The football factory", a similar event occurs and the Chelsea firm and end up fighting Millwall's firm.
My film just works exactly the same as these as James and his lads who are part of the Sheffield Wednesday firm get to fight their fearsome rivals, the Sheffield United firm at the end of the film. The reason we are not using two London clubs is down to our location for filming. On the other hand, maybe the change is needed from the story line of a firm in London. According to The Telegraph, the rivalry between the two Sheffield clubs is the third most fearsome in the Country despite the fact that over the years, the violence has been well controlled. But, it has been over 6 years since the city have seen a fixture between the two sides and this maybe the reason that both sets of fans are ready to take it out on one another without police being able to do a thing. A link to the article from The Telegraph is pasted below.
