Re: Takeover
ComancheWe've been mentioned in the series obviously but imagine the Peaky Blinders actually attending a 1920s Blues game in a Peaky Blinders film.
If Steven Knight is involved then there is every chance this happens. St Andrews packed to the rafters with men in suits and flat caps, brown leather boots and ball, plenty of action shots of the 1920s style kit to get brand awareness of the club logo out to a huge global audience, as we smash some nameless team playing in claret and blue. This is where we'd have to take some historic liberties as the kits back then didn't have badges, but the film would be the first time a lot of people lay eyes on a Blues kit in their entire life and we would want to push the Ball & Globe badge. We could then sell the 20s kits as seen in the film and they would fly off the shelves. You would have Americans who don't yet support a team aligning themselves to Blues just through Peaky Blinders alone.
It's through collaborations like this that we start to grow the club as a brand.
Isn't the film a continuation or did get that wrong? That's why all the characters were set up and Solomon (Hardy) came back. It will be late 30s which I think is our record attendance from memory.
I honestly think it will be about the battle of Cable Street. There's no other good reason to bring Graham as the staunch trade union guy. It brought nothing to the final series storyline in reality.
Hardy and Graham give it proper extra star power.
