Not that friendly, but was there for the Cambridge and Lincoln games. If i remember right, I am sure Wolves produced one programme to cover both games. Thats how bad times were back then.

They did do it one programme for both, I was on holiday in Redcar for the Cambridge match and go the train down from there much to my parents annoyance !

I used to have the programme from when wolves played Chester city at sealand road for a friendly in 1985 i think it was

It was just a photocopied team sheet of both teams basically.

That was back in the days when I’d check the programme adverts from the likes of Steve Earle in shoot! And send away for a catalogue.

Postage to New Zealand was so slow back then, it took months and the pound was three times the value of the New Zealand dollar

Agree with Steve Earle. I ordered loads of random programmes from him! That was at a time when football programmes were a great read and with no internet back then, it gave you a great insight into the teams. The parcel arriving in the post was just like Christmas morning.

And that friendly at Sealand Road…. I was there! Got a lift from a friends dad. Cant remember the score, think it was either 0-0 or 1-1.

erm, no. There was 4 of us, and probably a handful of other die-hards. Not many Chester there either.

Ironically I thought Chester's ground was not too bad either. Sad that at a time where teams were about to build new stadia following the Bradford fire disaster, we lost a lot of good grounds to boring, small, lifeless, mecanno grounds. ie, Chester, Walsall, Shrewsbury, S****horpe (The Old Show Ground was an excellent old school ground).

Edit, funny how 'Scun-thorpe' is filtered. Reminds me of the joke.... 'Name 3 teams with swear words in their name?'.... Ars-enal, Scun-thorpe, and Birmingham ****ing City. :D

Bad memories. My Dad played rugby for Wolverhampton in the early/mid 50s and used to drag me along to watch. Bored out of my mind so spent the afternoon train-spotting by the railway line that in those days ran alongside the pitches. Saw about 2 trains all afternoon.

Anyone who lived in the Cottage Lane area of Fordhouses at the time may remember him living in what I assume was a club owned house. I "think" he liked the odd half of shandy... Ended up many years later doing football training for kids at Butlins. On his day (not that often) as good a mid field player as I have seen down here.

I lived in Primrose Ave and walked to/from St Anthony's school and can remember when the only building in Cottage Lane was a derelict farm house.

PS was there an RAF aircraft kept on St Anthony's playing field in Bee Lane or have I imagined it?!
