[YordiDietens]

Hello Wolves

My name is Yordi Dietens and I am a starting sports journalist from Belgium.
I just started a Podcasting series where I discuss a random team in the world. I talk about the history of the club, the current situation, fun facts…
For my next episode, I am going to talk about Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and I would like to try something new. I am gathering short quotes, fun/interesting facts or unique stories about the club to use in my Podcast.

Are you willing to help me? If so, record your quote, fact or story on your smartphone and send it to: dietens.yordi@gmail.com or in a DM on my social media!
Thanks in advance!

Supposedly Molineux is the only stadium in the country you could flip the pitch 180 degrees and play length ways Billy Wright to Steve Bull stands.

I don’t know this as a fact, but I was at University of Essex 2004-07, and a university groundsman saw me in the student union wearing my Wolves shirt and introduced himself and made some general Wolves talk, then said to me he was a former Wolves groundsman and told me that fact, saying it would be a squeeze but doable stand to stand… I’ve taken his word for it ever since (although with a pinch of salt). I sit back row of Steve Bull upper, and got to say it might just be possible!

That fact is completely true Alex. No other club could do this.
At the time, there were even discussions to decide which way to have the pitch permanently.

Also a few decades ago I watched Ian Botham play in a friendly top level cricket match on the Molineux turf. The boundaries were quite long in all directions.

Very interesting facts! It's clear that the club has a lot of history!
Would you mind voice recording some of these facts, since podcasting is adio-based.
It would be so nice to hear real Wolves fans in the podcast.
So for example: "did you know that Wolverhampton is the first club to have won all four professional english leagues"

You can send your voice recordings to my mailadress: dietens.yordi@gmail.com
Thank you so much for all this interesting information!
