Setting and Location is an important factor in any film, especially in films such as "Green Street" and "The Hooligan Factory". For example... A football hooligan film is not going to be set on a beach or in an American neighbourhood its going to be set in a lower-class British council estate, typically on a rainy cold day. Typical cities such as London and Manchester are usually used as they are stereotyped that they feature areas that are less prestige such as council estates and run down areas.
Areas such as these are almost featured on the back alleys of these estates or under bridges or just somewhere out of site of the public and most importantly the police. You will never see fights taking place in the middle of the city or next to the football ground as it will be too "risky" for them to do so.
A stadium will always be included in a football hooligan films as it shows an insight into how much football matters to the supports and most importantly the characters willing to fight for their club and their fan base.
