RedLionLad Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 5 minutes ago, ChippenhamRed said: The other issue is the left-hand tower has the extra bit on the top, whereas the blocks around Ashton Gate are clearly identical. I’m satisfied it’s not The Gate and think it’s probably Upton Park! I don't think it's Upton Park either. The blocks are not the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Some great sleuthing going on here. Was worried it wouldn’t be of interest but you’ve taken it up and run with it! Gotta love OTIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Is it The Valley? I`m sure there are some tower blocks near that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Must be taken from the top of the Bristol Record Offices on the Cumberland Basin for that height and angle? Always an amazing view in the summer when the sun sets over Ashton Court and beams back across BS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Oh wait have we established it's not us? Tower blocks must be East of the ground for the sun to be south by south west, which is more or less correct for AG, but it should be to the right of the gantry in the photo and behind the sports bar for any other angle. This is a photo taken North East of the ground it refers to, and where there is a clear horizon in the distance. Not many grounds this can apply to. At Orient the separate tower blocks (not the ones built into the stand) are definitely North East of the ground. Which is this angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Have given ChippenhamRed's original a bit of a tweak and hope this might shed some more light on the case. I had originally thought the ironwork is redolent of the Atyeo but is clearly not. Hope this helps Hope it's not the reflection of ChippenhamRed's furniture...

hantsred Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I have just toured google maps in 3d and still can't find the stadium. Any detectives out there... large city based stadium (tower blocks, large stand), possible open one end to allow photo accross the stand, horizon has trees and is hilly which suggests suburban location.... good luck!

LondonBristolian Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Did a quick bit of sleuthing - bit bored tonight. From what I found, this was filmed February to April 2017 and the Boleyn Ground was demolished September 2016. If that is the case, we can probably rule out Upton Park.

clunes Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 It could be anywhere in the country, but it could also be a cricket ground. I thought it might have been the Oval for a while as it looks like there is a low stand with white seats it also might not be a sports ground at all. It’s a bit tall to be on the roof of a stand. in summary, good luck. I need sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciudad Bristol Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Got to be Upton. Maybe inverted image and with telephoto lens so those towers are miles away in North Woolwich or something? Spent too much time on it. I give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyInWeston Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Okay, I've seen the scene, you really cant get anything more of detail from the original picture, its way too dark except that its a sunrise and not a sunset, so its definitely in the eastwards looking direction. After careful consideration I've declared that if it IS indeed a stadium, the steel gantry goes across the length of the pitch and not the width, but then I could be wrong. Anyhoo, for those who still want to see a direct source, below are two pictures, one original and one slightly tweaked to the best of my ability.

SydneyCity Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 It was filmed in London and Anglesey and it wouldn’t make any sense (financially or creatively) to do pick-up shots anywhere else. https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/tvfilm/hard-sun-on-bbc-one-cast-locations-and-everything-else-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-bbc-thriller-a3733536.html%3famp I’m going to say it’s The Emirates. There are a few more tower blocks next to the two, top right of the pic, but you could easily frame them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it isn't because of the way the steelwork stops at a straight end......all those on the Emirates either curve or connect to something.

It just cannot be, look at how straight the edge of one of the "stands" are if it is a stand. Plus there are no residential tower blocks in said positions looking east wards.

Olé Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 FFS I think I've checked every football stadium on Google Images now. Charlton doesn't work as not that many cantilevers (but does have identical tower block with the lift shaft). Emirates has identical tower blocks but cantilever isn't square (and I've been by it on the train out of Kings Cross loads of times and the horizon is not empty around there). Norwich actually has a similar cantilever and the high rise hotel to the side, but the cantilever curves. I'm prepared to say this is NOT a football stadium.

Your tweaking has clearly revealed Upton Park in my opinion! Look at the cladding at the end of the stand (just above the “one”). Exact match!
