Molineux fire

[Newbridge Wolf]

Always thought the gantry stayed open in the Waterloo Road stand. Remember seeing a clip of Turner climbing some ladders.

Yeah he used to sit up there quite often. The cameras were on the scaffolding though (and occasionally GT too as you can see in the second image!)

Where does it say this?

This video must have been early on in his Wolves career, pre that scaffolding, probably 86-87.

FA Cup tickets in the Billy Wright are now back on sale

Not like the BBC to blow everything out of all proportion now is it?

 

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

I have been told that, as we know, the fire damage is the function room and smoke damage is extensive. Water damage has gone through the floor and straight into the changing rooms below flooding them and pretty much knackering everything down there, this is where the focus is repairing at the moment.

My boss mentioned to me this morning, as we discussed the Brentford game, that has a box in the Billy Wright and asked about the possibility of giving up the box and taking on season tickets instead. He has been told that they currently have a waiting list of 12000 for season tickets and and 3000 waiting list for corporate boxes.

Wow, 12,000 on the season ticket waiting list, and 3000 on the waiting list for corporate boxes..
A new Steve Bull Stand with increased capacity and more corporate facilities is badly needed based on those figures.
But back to the fire, hope the club can get the changing rooms sorted in time for the Norwich game.

So the bbc seem to accurately report what wolves have told them and it's the BBC blowing it out of proportion?

They got it pretty well spot on. Still, the BBC haters will make stuff up.

Didnt the BBC originally say that the stand would be closed - which doesn't appear to be the case.

Correct. They did

Probably rushed to get a news item out and interviewed Keith Lard

Joking aside, the changing room issue is a concern.

Well ours anyway!

I know someone who’s clearing out the damage today. The glass cleaner is the culprit.

What's their name?

 

[Titch]

As has been pointed out the glass dishwasher was the problem, half the Presidents function room will be out of action for the Norwich game, the rest of the Billy is having a good clean including all the seating.
