Why does it matter if south bank not in best form? Three other stands full to rafters of wolves fans
Of course the South Bank was the loudest....I was in thereI was in the side for a change yesterday H, The South Bank was the loudest altho I agree not at their best.
But absolute praise to the Steve Bull stand and the north Bank for giving it back in equal measures.
I maybe a regular South Banker, but I am a Wolves fan like everyone, first and foremost, and its just wonderful when the three sides get going.
I would say that in all my years watching Wolves , the Steve Bull yesterday was louder than I have ever heard it..
Now, imagine that it was right next to the pitch and joined up to the SB and NB. The singing would spread and be quite superb. So that is why I dream of a joined up, closer to the pitch Steve Bull stand - at times the noise would be truly awesome.
Oh careful QB, When I alluded to the same thing recently it wasn't taken at all well even though it was no more than the truth being spoken. And there's nothing wrong with more fans turning up and I'm all for a full Molineux but said back then as I will now it doesn't detract from the facts.There’s a lot of fans jumping on the bandwagon, my neighbour hadn’t been for years and all of a sudden is going a lot, he openly says he’s a fair weather fan and won’t go when they’re rubbish, is that right or wrong not sure.
I started going in 1965 had a couple of season tickets from 1993 til 2011 when having an exceptionally talented athletic daughter meant I was missing too many games. Since then I get to 5 to 10 games a season. I tend not to be much of a singer these days. Now if that makes me less of a supporter in some eyes so be it.
Lol there are exceptions to every ruleI thought yow Welsh were the bee's knees at singing.
Yow am Welsh ay ya.Gewin by ya name ay i.
Good points GA and I can't help but wonder if the teams recent struggles in games have had an effect? Whenever there's only 1 goal in it the nerves are there and the nagging doubt the oppostion will sneak an equaliser with moments left. Yes it's great Wolves are winning and keeping clean sheets but the apprehension and tension are palpable and it seems the closer to the final whsitle the worse it gets.Crowds increasing, atmosphere (at times) reducing. Strange but true.
The benchmark for me this season has to be Villa and Bristol City and we've come no where near that since.
I too was hoping that we would be backing Nuno and the team with non-stop singing yesterday, and a bigger goal half time advantage would possibly have been the trigger. We tried some Christmas stuff but even that tailed off.
As it was, we were always at risk of them snatching an undeserved equalizer which seemed to play in the minds of the crowd and keep most quiet.
i sit at the mid way point of the BW and could hear individual people in the SB at times, it was that quiet. Personally I think the main reason is there wasn't actually much attacking football. we passed around a lot but it wasn't massively exciting. good, interesting yes but not exciting. This whole nonsense about new fans needs to stop. If we go up then we can expect 30k or maybe many more every week for years to come. surely no one really wants to go back to 17k on a cold tuesday night for a 0-0 and by the way it wasn't noisy then either. The proper atmosphere died 30 years ago in all grounds when they went all seater. the reason being (in my view) that people ,although still standing, are much less closely packed. back in the 70s you wouldn't have needed a coat at any match this season. at times the mol can still be great and I love it full. I just don't like the chants agianst our own fans. Not once did I either hear a chant directed at Ipswich or from Ipswich. self righteous "where were you when we were ****" does my head in.Man City have won 17 matches in a row and judging by MOTD yo7 could have heard a pin drop in the Etihad for most of their match yesterday.
As for Molineux I thought there were times when the South Bank was really loud yesterday but also there long periods of quiet, I could hear Mick shouting instructions from the SBull upper.
Agree , Villa game was superb.Agreed, the best and loudest games seem to be when there’s a big away following to direct some ire at.
We had quite a few decent chances yesterday. Had we taken most of them we would have won very easily (6-0 had Saiss, Costa, Jota, Bright and Cavaleiro all converted decent chances and there were others e.g Douglas’ free kick) and no doubt the noise level would have increased as each goal went in.Hto be fair, the football hasn’t been that exciting recently. Efficient, comfortable, great results, fantasy position in the league but a little bit routine. So consequently the crowd has been relatively quiet. Lots of chances and shots = increased crowd response. Not a criticism , just a fact.
I have to say it annoys me that people have to wait to score to create noise, but I guess it is inevitable in a way.We had quite a few decent chances yesterday. Had we taken most of them we would have won very easily (6-0 had Saiss, Costa, Jota, Bright and Cavaleiro all converted decent chances and there were others e.g Douglas’ free kick) and no doubt the noise level would have increased as each goal went in.
There was the ultimate glory hunter on the pitch at half time admitting he hadn't graced Molineux for 4 years but came along to see what it was all about. Probably didn't pay for a ticket either...
That was JR wasn't it?
Yeah
This is about right, the range of songs was better than some other games this season too, I heard a good rendition of Wanderers scarf, hark now hear, Stevie Bull's a tatter, plus all the other standard songs and the crap new ones. Considering the lack of excitement (FFS, get a man in the box when we get it out wide, we don't always have to walk it in) I thought it was decent.it was quiet in spells but when there was noise it was louder than most of the games I've been to this season. First half generally good, start of the second half was quiet for a while
overall thought the support was good
We haven't even gone behind in a game for ages. If we conceded early I think we would see us cranking it up on and off the field.We're in the comfort zone, I've said it before, it needs a bit of edge to get the crowd going (insert Edgemond joke here) unless it's a local derby or there's a bit of bad feeling the atmosphere tends to be a bit flat.
If we go up and it's looking likely we will, the atmosphere will improve when we have teams coming at us instead of trying to stop us playing.
I still don't get why there are empty seats in the North Bank? quite a sprinkling consistently.
Not knocking those who attend in the NB, but its strange.
I couldn't hear all he was saying, with my hearing etc.
But yes it sounded like he didn't really care!
Am I being unfair?
Happy Xmas!!
Agreed, the best and loudest games seem to be when there’s a big away following to direct some ire at.
Just play the liquidator that'll get everyone bouncing
Because some people want to shout **** off West Brom while supposedly supporting Wolves? Personally, I can go with that but I prefer our pre- and post match anthems to focus on our team/club. And, can we please move on from the sixties and seventies, forty or fifty years ago - Status Quo? Dear me! Can you imagine Peter Knowles and the Doog running out to something from the 1920s?
