7 September 1889

[Frank Lincoln]

On this date 134 years ago, Wolves played their first competitive game at Molineux. They beat Notts County 2 - 0 in front of a crowd of about 4,000.

Hopefully, Wolves will be at Molineux for many years to come

Happy birthday.

Ahhhh … I remember it like it was yesterday!

No they didn't, we moved to Molineux in 1889 not 1899

Who scored

 

[Baboon]

Of the 92, I believe only Burnley have played at their current ground longer than Wolves.

Preston have been at Deepdale for longer (1875) while if you look outside the original members of the Football League Wrexham have been at the Racecourse since 1864

Apparently it would have been 3 - 0, but Mike Dean‘s grandfather disallowed a goal for offside.

VAR are still checking one of the goals.

In that case it’s bound to be disallowed.

Not a million miles off, as the match report describes a goal being disallowed due to a foul on the Notts County goalkeeper.

Before Molineux became our home ground we had played there
in 1886 in a local cup semi-final v Walsall town.
Have lost the result of the game

Coincidentally , it was the last time we scored twice at home .

I didn't think they had fouls back then?

Have lost the result of the game

We won 2-1 (Brodie, Lowder) in front of 2,500.
Unfortunately, we lost in the next round 1-3 to them down the road

We actually played three games there before it became our permanent home.

We played there twice in the 1885/86 season losing to Walsall Swifts 3-1 on 6 March 1886 in the Birmingham FA Cup semi final and then again on 20 March 1886 when we lost 1-0 to Walsall Town in the semi final of the Walsall Senior Cup. We also played there on 17 May 1888 when we beat Wednesbury Old Athletic 4-1 in the final of the final of the Wednesbury Charity Cup.

In each case Molineux was used as a neutral venue with home games in the early rounds of the cups we entered played at Dudley Road.
