I always wondered how Wolves came to own all those houses that were demolished to build the ‘new stand’ (wasn’t it over 100?). Did they buy them up over a period of years or make the owners offers they couldn’t refuse in 1978?

Had to post my all time favorite Wolves player.

They were bought up over many years. I was told that the council wouldn’t let them knock them down in the 1950s due to a National housing shortage after the war.

Cyril was a decent left back for Spurs, picking up 4 England caps in the late 1960s. He played in their UEFA cup win against us in 1972. “nice one Cyril”.

Decent, but not excellent like his brother. Got his caps due to 'London centric'

Absolutely. But terrible with disposing of bog roll.

Me and my Dad on plane 1. What a day.

Not 100% sure but think I was on that plane. What a day. Will never forget Birmingham airport lounge early on New Year’s Day 1990. An incredible sight … and sound!

Listening at home on WM, the air horn going off what seemed like every 2 mins. Crazy how fast time goes.

I went with Telford Wolves that day via coach. Not as glamorous as flying but the memories are still there. I can still see myself jumping up and down behind the goal every time Bully scored.

Anybody know why the seats were red ? Seems like a strange choice !

Job lot on the cheap as Forest built an identical stand at the same time ?

No idea though

If I remember right because that's the only colour they could get them in back then

Absolutely unbelievable.

I was only just starting to support us then, aged 8, it seems quite surreal that this ever happened once, never mind twice.

Our story is what makes us special.

I remember seeing that advert back in the day when my penfriend used to send me newspaper cuttings of all things Wolves.

Wonder how that grocery shop in Dudley is doing these days

Great photo, I remember those faces. I was a kid at the time but those faces bring back some memories.

I recognise the guy carrying the box marked fragile. No idea of his name though. He used to go in the North Bank late 70's early 80's, then the South Bank.

Can I ask what they are all doing?

As someone on another thread was asking 'is there anything left of the old stadium still at the current ground besides the clock'? There's a section of the old Molinuex street wall.
I think in any future stadium development, this wall should be incorporated and preserved as our link to the past.

No idea really. At a guess maybe they’re clearing out the the hut which I think was the supporters club hut?

From what I understand the Bhattis kicked the official supporters club out of their usual meeting place, not 100% sure of the stand. The council however leased a room in the then new John Ireland stand, so as an up yours to the bhattis, let them use that room instead. Might have the finer details wrong but pretty sure this pic is them basically moving in to that council office space.
