Earls Park Football Club's home games were played at Selhurst Park, the real home of Crystal Palace Football Club.
After the fifth season had been shown on television, ITV and Shed Productions mutually agreed to end the series due to declining ratings, hence the various unresolved cliffhanger endings in the season five finale.
Alison Newman did not have to audition for the role of Hazel Bailey. Executive Producer Brian Park thought she would be perfect for the role, having worked with her on Les condamnées (1999), where she played the deadly Renee Williams.
During a scene in the first season where Jason (Cristian Solimeno) drives up to his house and quickly jumps out of his car, Solimeno did not properly put the handbrake on, and the car continued to roll before crew members and Solimeno himself stopped it.
Cristian Solimeno read many books about football, as well as several biographies of footballers in preparation for his role as Jason Turner.
