I'm finally returning to Molineux

[Boss Hogg]

We know Shi is desperate to turn things around when he starts bringing back overseas fans who are lucky charms

Safe travels @Erick1011 hope you bring us some luck

 

[Rhoswolf]

As you return @Erick1011, I miss another 2 league games due to the train strikes and no return train home, managed 2 home games so far this nseason as a ST holder and sadly, finally realised I dont really miss it. Ticket in SL1 for Brighton and Arsenal available.

Sad for you to read this Rhos. This year I have bowed to the inevitable; age, train disruptions and costs have meant I gave up my ST. I know we're having a **** season but like you I too don't miss it.
Safe trip over Erick!

M6 J8-11 is a write off at most times, but after 3pm it’s just a disaster.

Fwiw i would probably drive, but it’s still a ball ache especially being foreign to our roads

You can avoid the bottlenecks on the M6 if you are prepared to pay for the toll road.

True!

It's certainly not been at all enjoyable this season, but I guess that is normal Wolves.

Hi Molineux Mix,

So after years of not seeing my beloved Wolves in person, I'm finally returning to Molineux, this time with my wife.
I'm going to the Wolves vs Leeds United cup game. We'll be flying into London on Nov. 7th, and we'll be there until Nov. 11th.
The plan is to take a train from London to Wolverhampton, but I'm currently having trouble booking a train ticket - and no idea what to do about the return since the game is a late night game. Anyway, since the game is on Nov. 9th, and my birthday is on Nov. 10th, it's a perfect time to see Wolves, and with Julen's imminent arrival, we might actually give Leeds United a game this time.

Any tips for the trains? I figured I can go to the station a few days before the game to buy the one-way fare, but for the return to London I'm still not sure what to do about it. Are there late night trains? Should I plan to stay in Wolverhampton overnight?

Thanks all - and hope to see some of you out there.

Erick

Hope it goes well for you Erick. Once our new house is built i'll be making the visit again. One year i made a 20000 mile round trip in 72 hours to watch us play Crewe. Never again like that! I'll stay for a month this time!

My brother in law is a United fan. He came over from Seattle to watch the 0 0 with Newcastle, 10,000 miles for 0 goals lol.

In his drive up from Basingstoke, the toll road would have saved him 1 minute according to google maps.

Use maps and trust the blue line.

It all depends on the time of day. Getting to evening matches the toll road is usually much quicker.

It's all about timings.

 

[wolvesaywe]

Yes! That’s what some people called me
I’m hoping my wife’s first game starts with a win or else I’m doomed.

My record is only during League One, however, and we were pretty dominant that season.

Oldham 0 - 3 Wolves
Wolves 2 - 0 Bradford
Wolves 2 - 0 Notts County
Wolves 3 - 0 Port Vale
Walsall 0 - 3 Wolves
Sheffield United 0 - 2 Wolves
MK Dons 0 - 1 Wolves
Wolves 2 - 0 Peterborough
Wolves 6 - 4 Rotherham
Coventry 1 - 1 Wolves
Wolves 3 - 0 Carlisle

Bloody fair weather fans

Would cut off a toe to be able to go back in time to 6-4 Rotherham

Enjoy it my friend, get the lovely lady a pork joint

Supporting Wolves isn't about winning, but belonging to a historical special club. It is a feeling, a passion. It isn't something you can turn off or put down. It is something you take with you to the grave.

It´s not even belonging to a historical special club.
It´s just is..I truly believes one doesn´t pick one´s team.
It´s just the way it is..either it is the team you dad brought you to when being a small kid.That is the local thingy of it.

I just cannot pinpoint why I started supported Wolves as a six year old swede.
Wolves being on the telly was of course a factor..but there were alot of other teams on as well.
I blame Kenny Hibbitt.
Alot of Swedewolves is doing that you know.
He was the real cult hero back then in Sweden I think.
I´ll always love The King Kenny.For me it´s Hibbitt,not Sir Bull.

 

[WasStefan]

You are in luck. Train strikes are cancelled. But you will still need good luck travelling Avanti . And i would still recommend stopping the night in Wolves, really is much less hassle.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Welcome back home @Erick1011!

Hope you enjoy tomorrow massively and perhaps with the rail strikes cancelled, the stars are aligning!

So many icons to choose from back then. Keep the faith! UTW.

 

[hankin]

The rail strikes for next week have been suspended!

 

[paxrax]

The rail strikes for next week have been suspended!

unfortunately there will, apparently, still be disruption.

It had planned to take strike action at five train firms including Avanti West Coast and West Midlands Trains.
Avanti said on Friday it would not reinstate services on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday.
West Midlands Trains said a reduced timetable will remain in place for at least Saturday and Monday.

edit - just had a quick look, a few options from euston to wolves on 9th and going back on the 10th.

probably best to look at

Finally booked a train ticket. I’ll be arriving in Wolvo at around 1530. Now just gotta find an overnight stay since going back to London seems unlikely so late at night.

Novotel or the mount. Novotel probably a bit easier as its 2 mins walk to the train station and 10 mins from Molineux.

Or the premier inn, again 2 mins to the station and 5 mins to Molineux. (If your priority is a decent cooked breakfast then this would be my choice)

Tried Novotel but there's no more rooms available. I'll have to check The Mount. Thank you!

Britannia is still there isn´t it?
Perhaps not for the fancy one´s..but it is cheap and it is central.
Don´t think they have pizzapolice nowadays as well..

If you choose the mount, uber is your friend getting to and from the station.

But do try the Premier Inn too.

 

[Golden Arrow]

Could you not travel from Euston to Wolverhampton via Birmingham New Street and check your baggage into a hotel in town.
You could then continue your journey afterwards to Wolves, and there would be services back to Birmingham after the game.

Just another option perhaps.

 

[Flea]

Looking at Booking...most seem sold out.
Connaught Hotel still has a room available though...standard king.

 

[Erick1011]

Ended up at Holiday Inn at the Racecourse. The closer the better! Cheers to @StefanWolves and @PumpKing for the help

Seriously avoid if possible. We stayed there on the night we beat Man Utd in the cup. Awful.

Didnt think of that! interestingly i met a mexican couple last winter who came over to watch Raul (and he was banned lol) and they stopped there.

HolidayInn is walkable, but a bit ropey walking through whitmore reans!

 

[Jonzy54]

I wouldn’t touch the Britannia with a barge pole .

Stayed there many a times and I haven´t had a problem.
It´s seriously outdated,but if the only thing one looks for is a rough over head nighttime then it works for me.
Biggest problem is finding one´s room..there is a serious maze of corridors and stuff in there.

We went to a Christmas meal there from work a few years back and there was a massive fight in the bar with blood everywhere and puke all over the place.
Not long afterwards our daughter was returning from Birmingham with our Granddaughter and someone came running out with a gun and once again it kicked off.
Apparently the place is now used to house refugee families

Only about a 15 minute walk to the ground too.

That sounds ugly.
Never used the bar there myself..or even had one of their meals as Moon is right across the street.

You were a lucky charm last time I think?

Too damned right. A friend of mine stayed there once and once only - absolutely filthy - blood stains on the bedsheets and used condoms under the bed.

Britannia named worst UK hotel chain for tenth year in a row | Hotels | The Guardian

Which? survey places the group firmly at the bottom, with ‘dire, drab and smelly’ rooms, while Premier Inn retains top spot in spite of price rises

[RichB]

Can you come to the Arsenal game please?

Even a draw would be a fantastic bonus point

 

[JOSWolf]

Eric must come to the Arsenal game!
