City of Wolverhampton and Wolves

[footc]

Hi there from the South Coast. It is a coincidence that we are playing yourselves next Tuesday after a new football related website is introduced.

On this site is a page relating to your city and club. Could you do us a great favour by checking that page and informing us if we have any errors in facts and figures. Research was thorough but yourselves know all about the city and the club.

Please post any observations on here or via the email address on the site.

There is also a Facebook Page connected to the site and will shortly be making Wolverhampton "City of the Week."

For those travelling to Brighton next Tuesday might also like to look at the Brighton and Hove page info, particularly the piece about BHAFC subsidising part of your public transport costs, if you have a valid match ticket.

Anyway, lets hope for a good match when we meet next Tuesday.

The link is www.footballcities.co.uk

Cheers

Not read the whole thing but one thing I did spot was our chairman is no longer Steve Morgan. It's Guo Guangchang.

We don't house away fans in the Jack Hayward (South Bank). Haven't done for some years. Steve Bull lower and occasionally the quadrant of the Stan Cullis.

Some of the city stuff is pretty awful - the bus station is on Piper's Row (not Way), which is on the eastern side of the city centre (not western). You can get to lots of other places direct via rail, not just the few mentioned (and the main railway station is east of the bus station, not west). The A38(M) is in Birmingham, not Wolverhampton, and no-one in their right mind coming from the north would head to Molineux via M6 J10 - you'd get off at J12. The A41 doesn't go through Willenhall either.

And the founding of the city by Wulfrun was in 985, not 895. The Holyhead Road was built by Thomas Telford specifically to take in Wolverhampton (as well as Birmingham and Coventry), so that's the wrong way around. Tnere's also more than just one canal, and no bombs fell on the city in WW2.

We've also won the Charity Shield more than twice - 1949, 1954, 1959 and 1960

Thanks Law's Bus, will check our sources and amend as necessary. This is the feed back wanted.

Our brains must have been exhausted when we got to writing up about Wolverhampton, last in the alphabetic order.

Did a similar run with Preston North End fans last week and there were only a couple of minor issues and over 5000 of their fans viewed our thread.

Very minor point, but if you are coming in from the South West (as I do) then you don't go anywhere near the M6

Leave the M5 at junction 2 and take the A4123 straight up to the ring road

Thanks fellah, will adjust.

Hope those coming to Brighton on Tuesday have a good trip. If you have any queries about your visit, just ask.

Hi, no it is Chester. We know Chester aren't currently a League Club but we wanted to use a neutral photo for the Home Page.
