The setting within football hooligan films give a lot away about the culture of the people who are involved in football hooliganism. The films usually are set around a rivalry of two clubs within London so the location tends to be in London. Another reason behind why these films are located in London is because the city is stereotypically known to be filled with areas that are for the less wealthy of people. Also, the film setting is typically set within a council estate or an estate of lower quality to show the kind of lifestyle these characters live; turning down other opportunity costs with their saving to spend them on a weekend at the football. The setting is usually dull and raining because it creates a sense of danger which the culture involves itself.
Another typical setting for these film are the football grounds of the teams these characters are3 supporting. Within the arguably best football hooligan film created, 'Green Street', the home ground of West Ham Football Club is used as the firm within the film, 'Green Street Elite' support this football team.
