Compo's Hat Top twelve rows of the new stand you can't see half the pitch!



Wolves have, unsurprisingly, confirmed these seats will not be sold.

Bit of a non story really because if they stayed up that roof would of come off with further ground developments!

Wolves postponed the 2nd phase of their expansion in January.

The majority of their fans are still fuming that £18m was spent on the new stand, taking capacity to about 31,700, and another £6m was spent on their training ground. The first team suffered and as we've seen many times over the years, when clubs invest in new stadia or expansions (Reading beware), relegation can often follow.

Tbf you said had they stayed up they'd have carried on building.

They stopped not because of relegation, but because they felt investing in the new training ground and academy was a priority. The stadium expansion was always deemed a long term project, the academy and train facilities was seen a must do now.

I am referring to the seats and very restricted view. They were never going to sell them as seats.

So do you think they were planning to use them for knitting or crochet classes or maybe just for tired black country folk to take their considerable weight off their feet?

My word... I knew they were useless last season but quite how they've managed to slip into the relegation zone of the Championship is baffling. To think the likes of O'Hara cost £5m :shock:

Sad for Kevin Doyle but I suppose he shoulders a large portion of the blame.

If anyone thinks HobNob is a rabble, the Wolves board is in meltdown.

Oh and this of course.

Meltdown indeed! They have no time for Saunders either. What a mess. I posted earlier on in season (will find it) that things were not good at Wolves. A good refereeing friend of mine was doing a friendly with them in and it was just chaos from moment they got off the coach. Disorganised, disjointed, egos, rabble, attitude, big time charlies were just some of the words used to describe the shower of shite that turned up.

Relegation spots are tight own there, but for me, Wolves are gonners!

wolvesforum.co.uk in equal meltdown.

Must admit, I know we've had our differences with Wolves, but they're one of the only clubs I really want to see do well based on history. Molineux was a massivley impressive stadium (still is one of the better ones in the league) and I'd like to see them towards the top of the second division more often than not.

ever since the play-off semi in 2003 when we were pelted with coins from the upper tier, I've hated them! Consecutive relegations will make me smile!

Wasn't there for that one, and heard a lot of people say it was exaggertated (I'm not questioning it was horrific before anyone takes offence, I hate Hull for treatment I received there but other people have no problem with them)

I just remember them from the clashes in the 90's and see a bit more of a friendly rivalry.

Such a meltdown last night on the Moulinex Mixer site that it crashed I think. I tried to get on last night to have read what the potato headed nob jockeys that fashion forgot were saying but it wasn't working.

Had a look earlier though and it was worth the wait, what great "support". Kevin's probably trying to dig a tunnel back to Ireland as I type.

At least when they go down, they can renew their sponsorship deal with Doritos from a few years back...
