League cup v Aldershot

[Wolvesthrunthru]

Hopeful of cancelling Villa friendly and playing Aldershot instead on 11th Aug

 

[JR WAS KING]

Oh no, I shall be on holiday and will miss it now

$$$$ sake i wanted to go to villa friendly

hell i'd rather pay for villa game than carling p'n cup

 

[andyc225]

I'd rather play the Villa if I'm honest. A glorified friendly against the tin-pot Shots doesn't exactly do it for me.

 

[hindheadwolves]

Prefer shots in evening

 

[MobNet Wolf]

Nonsense. I'd much prefer a competitive game rather than some walking paced friendly against Villa that day.

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

Nonsense. I'd much prefer a competitive game rather than some walking paced friendly against Villa that day.

And if it gives us a better chance against Leeds, then even better.

It's all self, self, self on this board

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Nonsense. I'd much prefer a competitive game rather than some walking paced friendly against Villa that day.

Same.

 

[George Berry's Afro]

Same.

And me. Usually take the kids along to the Saturday friendly so this will be ideal to introduce them to something more competitive.

 

[Macman]

I'd prefer the competitive game against Aldershot too. I actually think it's a good idea to move League Cup first round matches to the first Saturday before the season starts. You should get better attendances with it being the first competitive match of the season on a Saturday afternoon..... erm, just keep the prices CHEAP though Jez!

 

[Jungleee]

Much prefer Aldershot at home - proper fans, loud passionate bunch who will travel in numbers. hopefully be a decent atmosphere as a result.

Villa fans are all arrogant no marks. Friendly against them is so pointless IMO.

We should be attempting a cup run for once...

I'm with these posters. Veela friendly not interested

 

[Big Mack]

I'm with these posters. Veela friendly not interested

Me too.

 

[Dewsburywolf]

I'm just sick of being Veela's glamour friendly every other season

 

[SmokeyGB]

Aldershot for £10 - £5 for kids...
Good deal on a Saturday on school hols.

 

[Batman]

Also with this being on the Saturday i would imagine this gives us more chance of getting through as the 1st team can all start. Knowing it's a week until the next game.

Bring it on! 6 weeks today

 

[dingle01902]

Was looking forward to this on the Tuesday night so I could take my girls to their first game. No chance now as they go to their Mums on Saturdays, but I'm quite excited to hopefully see 31000 enthusiastic fans turn up for a warm Saturday 3 o'clock kick off in a competetive cup match against lowly opposition.

Its kind of got the same sort of feel as Europa League qualification games for me.

 

[arctic rime]

I'm glad it's Saturday .. Something to look forward to , start the season with a bang !

Agreed opportunity for our first 30,000 crowd in over 30 years .

 

[Boss Hogg]

Agreed opportunity for our first 30,000 crowd in over 30 years .

No chance, it won't even be half that. IMHO

 

[Jungleee]

Agree I reckon 14k max.

 

[welshy]

Agreed opportunity for our first 30,000 crowd in over 30 years .

I think at those prices we would struggle to get 30k, I would say more like 20k at a push.


Anyway, I had no intention of going to the friendly against villa, but I may make the trip for this.

 

[Zico]

30,000 for a League Cup round 1 game??!! I mean come on, I'm joining in the new optimism for the season, but I'd like some of what you're on!!

 

[Phys Ed Wolf]

Can't we think outside the box and have a double header. Villa at 1pm and the Shots at 3pm. The squad will still be big enough at that stage surely?

 

[SimplyTheWolves]

Oh I get it! Play Villa first, then come 3 o’clock we won't only have the Shots but we'll be ready to let rip big time.

Now that's definitely outside the box PEW, good thinking.

 

[BB Wolf]

Has this been confirmed yet?

 

[Welford Wolf]

No thoughts for the fans is changing now. I booked my holidays based on the season staring on the 18th and would have been back for the game on the Tuesday.

But no, Wolves have to change things in an attempt to get a couple of 100 more through the gate, but it will backfire, and I shall miss my first home League Cup tie since the 1970's as I'll still be out of the country.

Absolute rubbish.

Surely they would of made more money by staging a friendly AND a League Cup game instead of calling off one for the other. It is a soley based on footballing reasons to give the players and staff a full week to prepare for Leeds away as they have.

Like I said before its all self self self with some fans on here who will bash the club in anyway they can just because YOU can't get to the game.

:congrats:

 

[Moira Stewart]

Got to agree, it's not money (although the Saturday game should ensure a healthy audience) but will help prepare for the Leeds game as they also play their 1st Round game on the Saturday.

I can't believe anyone would actually book/change their holiday on the basis of a League Cup 1st Round game in any case.

 

[arctic rime]

great news........

Pathetic post. Bashing the club for not considering your holidays?

Amazing.

Frankly, anyone who plans their family holiday around the football season deserves ridicule. "Er, sorry love, but we'll have to pay an extra £800 to go on holiday in early August, I couldn't possibly miss Aldershot at home in the first round of the Capital One Cup.''

Make up for it by going to an extra away one
