Bit of a Communication Breakdown there I guess.And if you were that planty you would have known it was me
It’s a shame, I went once ages ago when we were in championship, I quite liked it… but it was about £90 at the time which I think was max it was worth. When we got promoted the price went up considerably, and is now well overpriced for what it is… mind you, the same could be said for most the stadium match by match prices.I’ve used it when I needed to guarantee tickets in advance for family/visitors etc.
It’s an expensive product for what it is, what is it?
You get a match day program
A buffet/finger food selection which is OK and you can go up more than once.
A padded seat in the NB lower with no atmosphere.
Coffee at H/T or
Access to a pay for/card bar for the beer etc..
Unless you’re under 10, no club colours not even a club logo (last season/Everton I got stopped for having a black shirt with a single Wolves badge on - I had to go across the Asda and buy a **** shirt to wear over the top…..which is ridiculous when all the waiting staff have black aprons with a wolf head on them and the whole bar and restaurant area is covered in Wolves logos.(The stupid contradiction is it was the same shirt I had worn in there on 3 previous occasions last season… with no problem)
They have way overpriced the product which was evident in last week’s Brighton cup game.. I reckon there was well over 50% empty padded seats.
As you can probably guess I’m not a fan but they have me by the balls if I need to guarantee tickets for visitors well in advance rather than leave it to chance nearer the date.
WV1 Adult is £177.60 (incl VAT) for Fulham on Saturday!£110 is the ‘budget’ option?
Hopefully they sort it out and ramble on.Bit of a Communication Breakdown there I guess.
Just always leaves me dazed and confusedBit of a Communication Breakdown there I guess.
There is a WV1 plus that is something like £250+ for an adult and you get all the food and drinks waitress service that you want with a table facing the pitch. Sounds similar to your WHL experience. Like you say still very expensive though and it only opens a certain time before the match and closes soon after so there’s only so much the body can consume in a limited period.I was a corporate guest at the New WHL when we beat Spurs in the 21/22 season. Everything about it was absolutely tremendous…other than having to sit with the Spuds.
Free beer, free cooked food - you could try everything on the menu, Free beer at half time, and free beer at full time until the already opened bottles were finished…and we even got given some caramel brownies to take away for later.
I looked up how much it would’ve cost our host and it was close to £370 each and there were four of us.
To be fair, it’s costly for what you do get but if you’re trying to impress a business contact, Spurs have got it spot on for their corporate members.
Wolves corporate seem like they would be reluctant to even throw a pack of crisps to you in your seat and give you a plastic cup of Bovril.
If you’re going to sell something as corporate, offer a first class experience but charge accordingly. This nearly £200 thing they do satisfies nobody.
Update...well overpriced, food really poor, ipa was nice priced at £5.75 so not overly expensive. Nice area good seats met a couple of fans good chat. 5.30am start 2 trains over 8 hours travel, worth it?I'm there on Saturday £177! Needed to purchase to guarantee a ticket. Tried to book museum tour/hospitality but was told it was "sold out" a couple of weeks later the museum package was advertised but they wouldn't let me upgrade, raging! Looks well overpriced but it won't spoil my day.... score dependent!
I’ve been lucky enough to do Arsenal corporate a few times (the missus Mum used to be connected to a senior board member of the club). Fortunately for a few Wolves games too.
Having done the stadium tour at Molineux, and comparing the two corporate offerings we are a MILLION MILES behind them. Our board area where Shi and co hang out looks like a meeting room at your local conference centre, and the main lounge looked seriously substandard in comparison.
Clearly somewhere we are lagging behind.
Its not really comparing apples for apples though is it - they have a modern stadium built in the last 20 years , we have a jigsaw of a stadium
Fair. But my point more being as a club we either need to pump a decent wedge of cash into what we have and try to make best use of the space (or at least improve it significantly). Alternatively the club needs to get cracking with stadium developments.
Not advocating that’s an easy thing to do, but it’s an area we’re in desperate need of an update to at least try to keep pace.
Except hardly anyone thinks a new stadium is either economic or desirable. Never mind thinking Fosun have any intention of building one, or even painting the one they own!I don't disagree with any of that but I suppose its a bit like you don't decide to undertake extensions or renovations on your house if you intend to move home. Hopefully its an indicator that a new stadium is still on the table - the boardroom looking a bit old hat is something I think that most fans can live with.
The new (2Ms "value engineered") Stan Cullis stand was completed six years after the Emirates Stadium. It looks like a half-finished utter slum in comparison. I sit in the North Bank upper every home game and live a mile from the Emirates.....Its not really comparing apples for apples though is it - they have a modern stadium built in the last 20 years , we have a jigsaw of a stadium

I absolutely agree. However, even without that there are semi-exposed pipes and cables and bare brickwork all over the place. Take a look at the top of the turnstiles from inside some time..... Not to mention that there are only two lifts which have to be used for both people and goods.I’ve always wished that they didn’t bother with the north bank quadrant, it just makes Molineux look so lopsided, and not in a charming way like Villa Park etc. You just look at the stadium and think it’s unfinished, and it’s looked like this for over a decade.
Would probably look ok if the Stan Cullis was just a double tiered stand without the quadrant.
I've done corporate at Arsenal. My suppliers have corporate there. It's unreal. The food is unbelievably good. Watched 3 Wolves games there.I’ve been lucky enough to do Arsenal corporate a few times (the missus Mum used to be connected to a senior board member of the club).
