Wolves will be glad they don't have to entertain the Daggers on a Tuesday night?

Absolute joke live in wolves and every week have to do my weekly shop in asda one of the small town of wolverhampton s only two supermarkets. I look at the new multi million pound stand and think would not swap them right now.

A club grossly mis managed by the detested moxey and co they will end up where they deserve can not wait for my home town boys to take this place next season.

 

poxy moxy, do you mean lou macari's best mate.

What is the away fans allocation at Wolves?

 

(just looked at their official web site couldn't see anything unless i missed it)

 

1500 Part of Stan Cullis Stand upper tier or if required 3200 Steve Bull stand( where we used to go in the 90s).If you want to go to Wolves it looks like you will need a season ticket( first come first served).

'The Stan Cullis stand... was not built to entertain the likes of Port Vale and Tranmere Rovers.'

 

More relevant is that it wasn't built for the current duffers playing for and running Wolves

The South Bank in the 80s you mean? when the rest of the ground was derelict and we didn't have a choice of where to go.

To be fair, Wolves did start throwing shedloads of cash on redeveloping their stadium a couple of years ago thinking they were an established Premier League club. They weren't intending to be in League One when they drew up the plans to redevelop Molineux.

 

I'm not sure why Wolves rebuilt the Stan Cullis though as it looks no bigger than the existing stand built 20 odd years ago, which was built to entertain the likes of Vale and Tranmere, as we were all in the second tier in those days.

 

The issue here is that it's a very lazy journalistic cliché to point and laugh at a team that's been relegated and say something along the lines of 'well, they'll have to get used to facing the likes of [insert name of team promoted up to same division] next season'.

 

But if it is a slur, then it's the kind of slur I can live with very easily. The days of Jimmy Greaves, Trevor Francis, Mark McGhee etc. trying to belittle Vale and us ramming their words straight back down their throats was a very enjoyable time in our history. Hopefully this is the start of those days coming back again.

Well said, that man!

Wasnt their main stand a bus trip from the pitch in those days?

Yes Nick:DThe first rebuilt part of the ground,The John Ireland Stand.That stand and the South Bank were the only ones open at one time.

We need to teach him a thing or two about the Vale.
