More Balls Park Filming?

I see lots of little pink signs pointing towards Balls Park marked as 'FG2'. Looks like more filming - anyone any idea what? There was also some filming at the old Police Station this week I heard - may be connected to that?

These signs say FG2 not ML though so maybe not connected then

A friend of mine was walking his dog over at Balls Park on Friday. Security guard told him it's the new St Trinians film, The Legend of Fritton's Gold. Stars Colin Firth and Russell Brand if you do a google thingy search.

According to the St.Trinian's Facebook page, filming starts Monday 6th July, which ties in with James's report above.

I followed the huge catering trucks down the hill of London Road yesterday what fun, they won't go hungry judging by the size of them!

oooo wonder if we'll be seeing Colin Firth propping up the bar in Baroosh on a Friday night? Perhaps not [;)]

For this film, it's more about how you look in a badly fitting cliche of a school uniform, methinks.

Stop it. You know how I assign cartoon characters to forum members who I've not met. The female lead from 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' just popped into my head.

I wouldn't - you might get some unwanted attention from Russell Brand

Is there another film production on the go at Balls Park? Little pink signs have appeared with 'BH' on London Road which are clearly new and therefore have no connection to Bleak House which was shot there previously.

I noticed this too and thought of Bleak House.

Does any 1 know what was going on at Balls Park today, Alan Shearer and Steven Gerrard were there? A film crew were with them and my Daughter spoke to Alan Shearer briefly across from Simon Balle school fields.
