anyone know what ground was used as the kennell?
They showed it from the outside, I'm thinking Kennelworth Road (Luton) I know it wasn't Millwall's, who the film was apparently based on

Have a look at the filming locations, im guessing that the kennel was probably filmed at more than 1 ground.
Centenary Market, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England, UK
Leyton Orient, London, England, UK
Millmoor Football Ground, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England, UK
Selhurst Park, London, England, UK
The Den (Millwall), London, England, UK
The Tower Thistle Hotel, Wapping, London, England, UK
Valley Parade, Bradford City Football club, Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, UK
na it wasn't, I'm a fan and it wasn't the gate definitely
shareThe inside was Millmoor, Rotherham United
shareSheffield Train Station, when the first train arrives and they get a coach it is Sheffield that I'm pretty sure of, they get off a train and walk over a bridge that is Rotherham station.
The scene where they walk to the ground in a road full of houses and stop at the 'Kennel' looks like Leyton Orient's Brisbane Road to me.
Terracing scenes include Rotherhams Millmoor - the scene in the corner where Gumbo gets a dart in his face, the first time J&T go to a game also.
The taking of the home end is at Valley Parade - Bradford, John is dragged onto the pitch and then runs into the Shadwell end, which is actually the same end he's just come from as the stand at the opposite side is a two tiered seater stand.
Rotherham's ground is used when they are all seen walking down a long passage, the Market scene's are also Rotherham.
I'm not 100% but I think some scenes are in London, i.e. the chemist's scene.
I don't think any of this film is at Millwall or Sellhurst Park at all, people may be getting it mixed up with the firm.
it seems most of it was shot on location in Yorkshire.
That was definatley Sheffield train station. Not too sure about what ground it was.

On watching the film again last night I realised that the chase to the chemist scene (where trev jumps on the bus) is shot on Dunton Road in Bermondsey, SE London. I think many other scenes in the film were shot around that area, posing as Shadwell & Wapping (East London). Bermondsey is near The Den; Millwall's ground.

not in ID surely? the Firm maybe.
Well according the the filming locations on this website they were all used in ID
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113375/locations
having just watched it i can say that the majority of the filming on the terracing is millmoor (rotherham)
the only time that the den is used is during scenes shot outside - you do not actually see inside the ground at all
other than that a lot of the film is shot around new cross, lewisham and bermondsey area with the football scenes all ahot in yorkshire as at the time of filming there were more grounds that were still as they were in the 80's.
remember when the film came out in 1995 a lot of grounds had been redeveloped since the 80's with millwall being a huge example
Absolutely agree. Tower Thistle Hotel especially - don't know London that well but when the 3 firms have the meeting at the hotel and you can see Tower Bridge in the background - I'm assuming that's the Tower Thistle!
Plus I don't remember there being any hotels in I.D.
And Yeti's ground was Selhurst Park ("he's bottled it"). Not sure about The Den though. Most likely that was for I.D. but external shots only.
