New To Netflix - The English Game
This starts mid march and is a costume drama about the forming of the football league.
It could be of interest

Story was watchable but the football was better in Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Re: New To Netflix - The English Game
interesting stuff about the earliest days, but the writing was atrocious, . hideous script trying to appeal to soap fans with the love lives and relationships. caught between two rotten woodworm ridden stools.

Not a true reflection of the actual events but interesting enough to realise it was a battle between good and evil.
Evil eventually triumphed.

Re: New To Netflix - The English Game
Watched the full lot yesterday.
Even Mrs W enjoyed it even tough it was about football.
Looked like Pendle Hill in the background for one of their "training runs" and it also looked like one scene was filmed looking down onto Brierfield as a building looked very much like the old Smith & Nephew

Re: New To Netflix - The English Game
finished watching it yesterday, I enjoyed it, warts and all
Re: New To Netflix - The English Game
Quite a bit was filmed in Saltaire; exterior shots of the mill (Salts Mill), the row of shops on Victoria Road, Albert Terrace and Herbert Street. The train station was Keighley.

Mrs Darth's review:
"This programme seems to be blokes being lured into watching something about the origination of football but really its a spinoff for Downton Abbey"

Arthur Kinnaird actually played for Wanderers at the time this was set, playing for Old Etonians later. Fergie Suter played for Blackburn Rovers and actually followed Jimmy Love down to Darwen from Partick. The club featured is a mixture of Blackburn Olympic (played in the main match of the series and in Maroon jerseys in it) and Rovers (who Suter and Love played for and were paid by against the rules. They didn’t play for Olympic).
A great short series though and well worth a watch.

Re: The English Game
Wasn’t it Queen Street Mill that was used? I recall filming trucks up there last year.
I watched in the hope Rovers (it was a mixture of a Rovers and Olympic, I know) would be thrown out of the cup and liquidated for their shenanigans.

Re: The English Game
Oops, sorry didnt see other thread
The English Game
I've not seen this posted about. Just started watching it on Netflix and it is very good. Apart from the fact Blackburn feature in it, the story is about the origins of the game. It also tells of the social aspects surrounding the teams.

The English Game.
Someone may have already posted about this Netflix film/series but I have only just finished watching it. It is very good despite all the inaccuracies, the main one being that the star player Fergus Souter left Darwen to play for Blackburn Rovers but in the film the FA Cup final he featured in was Old Etonians v Blackburn Olympic. The scriptwriters decided to call his team just Blackburn!
The most interesting issue in the film is the rivalry between the public schools' Old Boys teams and the rising influence of northern/midlands clubs with their working class base and to the horror of all to the privately educated amateurs these clubs paid their players! Old Etonians, the Wanderers and Old Carthusians won many of the first few finals until the now defunct Blackburn Olympic took it north. These public school Old Boys teams still play in the Arthurian League where the values of the corinthian spirit live on. We always see the public schools as bastions of rugby but football was and is very important to many of these schools.
It is sad that the FA Cup has been so devalued in recent years and one wonders what these pioneers of the game in England would have made of today's game. It is definitely worth a watch despite it being mostly about Blackburn! Burnley do get a brief mention along with PNE.
