Wolves History Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

In fairness (and I don't like being fair to the club about ticket pricing, because their approach is nonsense):

1) Footballers' wages have increased way more than 2.9% p/a since 1981

2) It's not just football tickets that have seen a crazy spike. Just to use an easy example, the average price of a pint in a pub must have at least close to doubled in 20 years. 20 years ago I was still at uni and was unhappy at paying over £2 a pint anywhere in Manchester or Wolves. If you get one for under £4 now it's a bit of a win

I definitely get the point, but a lot of the issue is that people’s wages have not increased by much more than that and those are the ones who buy tickets.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yes.

They had Warnock in charge and they were incredibly horrible, even for one of his teams.

Lovely ball in by Muscat.

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

Yes

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Yep

Yeah, I even took a mate who hated football and I was trying to convince him that if he experienced a live match it would change his mind. His one and only match and he'll have no idea how poignant it was. Funnily enough, his surname is Bull too

one of the best games I ever watched that. Loved it!
Kennedy's goal is awesome, and the goal line clearances at the start of the 2nd half are superb!

I had half an hour of "shame it didn't work out, we sold him a bit short, let's see where we go".

Then it became apparent we'd tapped up Saunders. And I asked what the fuck was going on.

People backed him as well, genuinely said he was good.

I loved the old South Bank but the ground really was a bit of an atmospheric dump

 

[lemonjelly]

Why was the John Ireland stand built so far away from the actual pitch?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The plan was to move the whole ground over but we went bust

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Depending who you believe:

1) Because it was all getting very moody at games, putting it miles away disencouraged pitch invasions and chucking stuff at players/officials

2) We had plans to do all the other stands and move the footprint of the ground that way, the old Waterloo Road stand was literally right against the road, the pavement was just about wide enough for one person

Yep, the infamous video of the fan with Bully when we reached the Sherpa Van final.

I remember on the news when we won promotion from Division 4, the camera was in the changing room on Bully and co celebrating and some bloke appeared through the window, put his arm round Bully and shouted "Come on me babbies!"

EDIT: Reached the final not won promotion. I stand corrected.
