Any update on the Steve Bull

Its still too far from the pitch

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Yes.

There’s no work planned. It’s not being replaced.
It won’t fall down.


Next!!!!

 

[JonahWolf]

I’ve heard a nasty rumour…
That both the concourse and seats themselves are horribly cramped.

I cannot reveal my source.

 

[old jacks thumb]

Liked it more when it was red seats.

 

[TFWanderers]

Yes. We can still host 5 a side games in between the touch line and the stand.

 

[Peszkywolf]

****ed myself waiting for the toilets, can't fit my knees in front of my seat but not allowed to stand up.....and they're still charging us £700 for a season ticket.

 

[yateleywolf]

We had the lowest interest rates for years and it wasn't touched now no chance.

 

[Beeches wolf]

Its still standing.

 

[Berlin Wolf]

I wish there was!

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

I saw him sit once too.

 

[WolfLing]

I saw him sit once too.

Sure he’s lay down on the pitch once or twice too.

The state of Molineux is becoming a joke. Peeling faded paint, broken glazing panels, comedy level concourse and services. I get ‘the first team is the priority’ TM - but for god sake can we not find a bit of investment to get even a half decent stadium.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Will be having a new STH in it next season as I’m not renewing.

£722 is a joke.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Can I recommend this great source of information…

Stadium Plans

Two years since this was unveiled. Am I right in thinking these plans changed 12 months later to not demolishing the other stands?

It's the new part of FFP clause 987

Jeff's still painting it

The metal is rusted on top of the stand surely someone can paint it the same with the stairs outside the bully

The ground needs painting full stop.

The Billy Wright roof steel will end up white at the rate they’re fading.

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now that there is (usually) less queuing does it really warrant the continued focus on improvement or even total replacement?

Try the toilets or seating there.

 

[Perton Wolf]

The Steve Bull basically represents FOSUN's current level of ambition, it's slowly but surely decaying.

The Steve bull was built with humans not in mind

 

[Jamwolf]

Time to take note of Brighton - developing the stadium and the team in tandem.
Our ground, especially the Steve Bull, is way behind the curve. We've got the balance between the players and the stadium all wrong.
Trouble is that most of our fans prefer the instant fix of a new signing to something that will benefit the club and its supporters for a generation.
Fosun need to show leadership and vision.

 

[thetwistedsock]

I have done for a long time. I was able to use the toilet on Saturday, during the game of course. I've stopped buying beer. I might still have an imprint of the seat in front on my legs. But for a couple of hours I don't know why we focus on it so much.

 

[Monk]

Whilst we can stand legally in the South Bank now - to be fair the concourse and getting a drink or going to the toilet have similar issues to the Steve Bull. On the odd occasion I've been in the North Bank it's luxury in comparrison.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Stadiums do represent a a conundrum though don’t they for non oil state, or equivalent owners. For me though, surely x1 new stand is the equivalent of what, x1 Fabio Silva.

I know what I think would represent the better investment.

Where the best part of 10k people gets seated in the meantime though, god knows.

 

[Ned]

Isn’t stadium redevelopment about to be included in FFP. It’s currently nothing to do with it and doesn’t count towards it but as soon as it does we can kiss goodbye to any major improvements until we are a genuine, 100% guaranteed self reliant top 10 outfit.

 

[sillytuna]

The real problem wolves have is post pandemic construction costs probably near enough doubled.

They really should have put something in place when the pandemic got going. Too late now.

 

[TFWanderers]

The Steve bull was built with humans not in mind

People were clearly very slim and no taller than 5'10 in the late 70's.

 

[Shergar]

Liked it more when it was red seats.

What about the faded pink after a year in the sun?

 

[Northbank cigarette]

A completely theoretical/historical question. If events hadn't taken the course they had, and we had ended up with the whole ground constructed like the John Ireland/Steve Bull - would we be in a better or worse situation now (stadium wise)?

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

I believe that was a strategic nod to our 1880s colours

 

[old jacks thumb]

I think they were the cheapest colour option at the time.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Well, that’s actually probably not a million miles from the truth. People were in average shorter then, and certainly a lot thinner.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Weren’t forest building a stand at the same time and we got them cheaper in red?

The Steve bull was built with humans not in mind

The average height of a UK male is 70 inches. Back in the 1700's when the stand was built, the average height was only 65 inches which explains the lack of legroom.

Indoor plumbing was the stuff of a madman's dreams back then. The space was originally used to store the hangman's gallows for the halftime entertainment of hanging witches.

Basically the Steve Bull stand (originally the William III stand - it's where our colours come from) is very old.

The original colours were in fact orange hence the tribute kits by puma before the Fosun dynasty.
