Apparently are having to close two stands for repairs for a couple of months but have sold more season tickets than the remaining two stands can hold.

Season ticket holders will now have to enter a ballot to get a ticket until the stands can reopen.

And I thought the temp stand debacle was amateur hour.

 

[molineuxmen]

Also on top of that they have sold single tickets for the matches affected which will take preference over the season ticket holders! This place would be in meltdown if that happened to us

 

[Black Coffee]

TBF they barely half fill their ****hole of a ground at the best of times, Being real It shouldn't make a difference

Wow.
Might be more about getting the inspectors in or scheduling the contractors. Materials and labour seems in short supply

And quite rightly so if that happened here.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Reading that almost achieved the impossible.... Made me feel sorry for bluenoses.... Almost....

 

[JohnMatrix]

Awful for the fans especially those who have children etc or fans that are less abled or learning difficulties and might not understand.

Sorry yes i agree rightly so. Its disgraceful.

Thats not true all match tickets cancelled

I remember sitting in the home end at St Andrews a few years ago when we played them and a section of corrugated iron blew off one of the stands and landed (if my memory serves me correctly) on the pitch! Amazing how nobody got hurt that day.

 

[Deleted member 7862Bler]

The stands are closed for 2 real glamour fixtures of Stoke and Bournemouth.

Its a sorry state of affairs and decent football fans need to stick together. Our football clubs are the lifeblood of our communities, a massive part of the history of this country and the football authorities do nothing to ensure the owners of teams are fit and proper owners held to account. Come matchday we all love giving each other stick but these people are our friends and family and we'll do well to remember it was us not so long ago. Seems to me there is more accountability in running a take away than a team in the football league.

Yeah I remember that around 2000-2001?

Worst thing is the two stands they've closed aren't even that one!

It probably added £50 to the value of the ground.

In other words, doubling its value.

I remember it well. It was the choke season. I flew to Detroit the next day for work and whilst I was away it all started to go wrong as we lost by about 5 goals to Grimsby I think and Kevin Muscat got himself sent off and didn’t play again as had signed pre contract with rangers. I’m hoping the above is correct as it’s all from memory

 

[Zico]

The most shocking part of that report is that they have enough season ticket holders to fill more than two stands. I mean, I once met a Birmingham fan, he's the only one I've ever known.

This was the game:

"The match was delayed for several minutes after a panel of roofing blew off in the high wind but neither side could get in front before the end."

Our second 2-2 draw in two weeks, and the beginning of the end that season. The Muscat red card vs. Grimsby was the following week, a 1-0 defeat at Molineux. We also had the ignominy of losing to a Steve Claridge penalty away to Millwall a couple of weeks later. Gunner Halle played right back each game after Muscat's red card.

 

[dewolfman]

Just give 'em a pie and a pint and all will be fine

 

[pacamac]

Maybe the should ask Coventry if they can ground share there.

 

[molineuxmen]

Thats not true all match tickets cancelled

May be wrong but my season ticket holding friend said that all match tickets cancelled AFTER the stoke and bournmouth games only. After the first 2 games its season ticket holders and away fans only no matchday tickets allowed in. They are having a ballot last night to see what season ticket holders could go to the first 2 home games

In the interests of fairness. It could always be worse

As I recall it flew off and onto the car park, whereas when one came off the then New Stand in the mid-80’s it cartwheeled along the no mans land between the pitch and the stand. Also seem to remember we had problems with the lights under the stand that day as well. Molineux was in a real state back then.

I may be wrong but l'm pretty sure that the incident being discussed happened at St Andrews and the sheets definitely landed in the ground. I was actually there. It's not particularly funny wondering if the next sheet off might land on your head ...

Definitely flew into the ground went down in the lower tier of the stand to the left of us (empty seats).

 

[maws]

And there was the FA cup tie where sone local fire left the pitch unviewable, Pour on petrol, St. Andrews is burning down burning down burning down

Correct. Was the stand to left of wolves fans.

Was there too, can remember it coming off but not landing on the pitch, this seems more likely than the car park.

Remember that very well as I was also in the home end.

Did I hear someone say that the losers will be the lucky ones.

The sheeting that fell from “ The new stand” at Molineux turned out to be an advertising hoarding left by the constructors ( McAlpine) and as you say it floated down to the grass below. Lucky no-one was hurt.

Oh yeah remember that one too thought there was a chance they might call it off at one point or at least delay. Night game wasn't it that? After the original had been called off with half of Wolverhampton already running amok in Birmingham.

The wind blew the roof off and we blew a HT 2-0 lead! Ended 2-2...got promoted but not for too long unfortunately!

I was there for that one - though I believe it was the choke season when Blues went up through the play offs

It was that very match. I remember it very vividly. Lescott and Butler scored two identical goals from indirect free kicks right Infront of me. Wolves fans literally 20 yards to the right of me going nuts. How I didn't explode god only knows.

Yes also remember it well. It was the main stand and I was sitting next to Kenny Hibbet who was assessing the match day officials.

So basically everyone then

This will be us soon if we keep dragging our feet with the stadium by 2040.

Funnily enough the main stand is alright.

Had a look on small heath alliance and it's not a straight forward job by the sounds of it.

Blues fan mate of mine said he's not surprised, they threw it up and the place has started to look really tatty over recent years.
