Molineux redevelopment

[Deleted at own request member 8370]

Just knock down the whole stadium and play on ASDA car park with jumpers for goal posts

Yes, 24k. 24,321, just checked Pagey.
As I remember it. 9,300 Wolves fans in the John Ireland, 11,000 Wolves in the South Bank, and 4,000 Sheff United other side the fence tallies.
Great to watch the YouTube clip again, great goals, celebrations and crowd scenes in the old two sided 1989 Molineux.

Great video. Rumour has it that the North Bank still generated more atmosphere that day than it does now

 

[reanswolf]

I reckon there was more than 24000 there - 9300 in the sold out Steve Bull, 4000-5000 away fans, only 11000 Wolves in their half of the South Bank? Surely a few more in there?

I thought the same as you reans.
Looked more than 11,000 Wolves in there when viewed on the night, and on the video clip.
But I recall Sheffield United brought 4,000 fans, the attendance was 24,321, so officially, must be about right.
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Sheffield United, 09 May 1989

 

[Peszkywolf]

Still 11000 in a section of terrace that only went from 1 goalpost to just past the corner flag is a big stand?
Bet that was only full 10 times in the previous 10 years?

The sign of old age as we remember the old south bank. Great memories in there except for standing in front of the bars

If my memory serve right, was that the 1st home game for years that was all ticket?

 

[greco wolf]

And one of the first game after hillsborough?

Just watched this feeling nostalgic as this was the year my dad first took me to molineux and this was my 2nd game.

Imagine my shock when I saw myself in my brand new wolves shirt at the end of the clip

The first after Hillsborough was the Sherpa Van defeat v Torquay.

Been looking through some old programmes from the 70's & it looks like the fans helped fund the Steve Bull Stand (John Ireland Stand, the New Stand, Molineux Street Stand, etc) - so do we get our money back when they pull it down ???

 

[Living at other WWFC]

Wish the expansion would hurry up.
Only been able to get to 3 games this season.
Seems I won't have enough loyalty points to be able to get to any more.
My fault for living in the south-east and having children.
Am I like one of those plastic Mancs / Scousers that live all around me?
A glory hunter?
Thank goodness for internet streams

A friend of mines father was part of the formation of the Wolves Lottery, and yes they helped the club in so many ways, @Berlin Wolf you may know the guy from worldwide wolves, he co runs Raised by Wolves

 

[beppe7619]

Right pain getting to molineux today on the A41 traffic lights only stayed on green for 10 seconds Wolverhampton council should sort these things out knowing it is match day

 

[RosehillWolf]

5th in the table. Last 32 EL and I’m guessing the waiting list for a ST is growing
Yet still no news on ground expansion and as far as I can see no planning applications have been submitted , I think this is very strange after all the talk that’s gone before

A lot of games make it down to 130 points.

 

[JayStringer]

News will come, we just need patience. Fosun are thorough. And once they push the button on an idea, they go full tilt at it.

 

[oldgoldheart]

I have my doubts about the stadium expansion. I think it might have cooled

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Temporary stadium? The Joshua Ruiz stadium has taken just 47 days to build. Shows what can be done.



15,000 capacity.

 

[reanswolf]

If they want to rebuild Molineux from scratch why don't we play at villa Park for one season?
Just a thought.

 

[Coshamwolves]

Exactly. Problems with the Council. University rules the area.

 

[greco wolf]

Who knows. Doubt Fosun have binned the idea. If the council won’t help /budge then they’ll
Look elsewhere

 

[oldgoldheart]

I also wonder a tiny bit about fosun. I hope nuno is right when he says defo new signings in january. Part of me worries its said to put pressure on fosun. Hope ism just seeing shadows

Apparently stewards have been told about the Steve Bull not being there in it's current form for next season.

 

[Monketron]

I think it would take 2 seasons to do a complete rebuild. But not against the idea. I think they will go 1 stand at a time though. Just bloody do it already!

Lol......As long as they don’t use the same contractors that have been working on the M5 from junction 1 to 2

Just bring a load of Chinese construction workers and they’d have a stand up in 8 weeks

 

[greco wolf]

Did you hear that from a steward directly ?

I’ll ask one in the steve Bull next home game

A retractable roof, a bigger South Bank & new Steve Bull Stand entrance - The Molineux changes Wolves fans want to see
New roof, increased capacity and other Molineux changes fans want

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

A retractable roof?

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

A retractable roof?

Like the Big Owe?
The owing never ends at the Big O, Montreal’s Olympic stadium

 

[ShropshireLad]

A retractable roof?

No thanks. That's a pie in the sky idea.

Would love a tower like that!

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Would love a tower like that!

When the roof retracts it gets pulled up the cables attached to the top of the tower and looks like a furled umbrella.
BTW logistics makes this an extremely rare occurrence.

Here's a pie on the ground

[AndyY]

What a pointless article!

 

[Peszkywolf]

Most just happy with 13000 extra seats/standing, in new bully and south bank, stands closer to the pitch, and a bit more enclosed.
Basically build half a ground, shouldn't cost the earth should it??

Lovely
Bung it out near M6 perfect

I quite like the roof at the Red Bull Arena. Translucent PTFE fabric, which protects against rain and wind, but allows sunlight to pass through. The roof material could be mostly finished in old gold as viewed from the outside, with a large Wolves wolf head where the Red Bull logo is. It would look a lot smarter and modern than the current North Bank roof, and would provide a lot more rain protection.

[oldgolded]

We have to increase the capacity if we are going to progress.
