how many seats you recon you could sell out?

@@jammypacks4504 45k I reckon. We have a long ST waiting list.

@@sorryofficer1 yeah fair enough I recon Wolves could fill that one thing I hope wolves don't do is go over 50k because I'm a west ham fan and we have a 60k and sell out most weeks but 10k of them aren't even West Ham fans and just go for the day out. That's why I don't want Wolves to go over 50k because the Molinuex has one of the best away atmospheres and I love going there despite that we've been beat both times I went and I hate the away end

Cheers , man City are also a great club despite having the gulf riches !!

Fair play to you Jim. And congratulations on an almost guaranteed Premiership title.

Wolves are my team Anyone but villa bro they're stuck in the 80s

No disrespect but you don't choose your club you are born into it I'm from London I don't go supporting Chelsea and Arsenal because they are the best team in my city I support West Ham because I was born in Canning Town and My Dad and Grandad used to take me to the games. You shouldn't be allowed to choose your team you should back your local team

Where are Wolves going to find 52,000 supporters? Average gate 2022/23... 29,000

@@JohnSmith-fr7js where are you gertting this number from? Their lowest attendance of the season was 30,546. Average is 31k, same as the capacity of the stadium.

The terraced houses on the east side of the stadium were purchased by the club and knocked down in the 1970s to make way for the Steve Bull Stand which was built behind the old stand. There is a large ASDA and car park to the NE which was built as part of the rescue package (put together by the Gallagher brothers) when the club was bankrupt in the late 1980s. The gap between the Molineux Hotel and the South Bank is so large because the new stand is so much smaller than the old one which was one of the largest terraces in the UK. There is so much pedestrian space between the Billy Wright Stand and Waterloo Road to the west because the stadium got moved over by about 30 yards when it was redeveloped under Sir Jack Haywood as the club began its climb back to the top.

@@tonysutton6559 Thanks for all that, I didn't know that. Up the Wolves

That’s why away fans can’t be heard there because the open spaces.

@@rjboxing460 because your all quiet

@ Trish Jackson - no chance. You’re living in denial if you believe that 😂

Getting a free 62,000 seater stadium cost less than spending money

They’ve done it. Go to the UK/English stadiums video.

I'm from the nort east..(staunch toon fan)......but I've always had a soft spot for Leeds....got to see elland road for first time couple month back....one good stand..but the rest of the ground was like something from the 50s.....needs modernising very desparetly......

No chance cos Leeds will go down to championship.

he don’t do small clubs stadiums

Not sure about that....i always thought the reason they had the bent stands was, if they weren't any good at Football they could try their hand at something else?? Like Hockey??

I was at that game. I was also in a picture from that game in the tropical times football annual. Pitch was white over.

@@derekpugh6819 I was in the stand that got knocked down in 1979. Not far from the Everton fans. They were chucking snowballs in our direction during halftime. Everyone in the seats there had to stand up to avoid them. Anyway, it was the Everton fans who left disappointed - so we got our revenge.

We need it with the waiting list

Inside information told me they will do the South bank next as they will loose less gate receipts that way then the Steve Bull after then the Billy Wright last.

@@sdolman79 It makes sense when you look at it that way and it would also be quicker and cheaper to build the South Bank as well. I just dislike the Steve Bull stand because of the lack of legroom.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Next joke!

Villas ceo said recently that there are 20000 on a waiting list for season tickets and were shit, imagine if we were decent

@@avfcad not sure that’s correct as if there were that many surely you would look to expand ? 42,000 capacity seems about right for a club of Villa’s size .

I think that number has only come about since the recent promotion to the prem, there has been talk of the north stand being redeveloped for a while now

@@avfcad it would be a wonderful stadium if they continued the Trinity road stand around the North stand end of the ground , filling in the corner. Villa Park is a proper old school ground with 4 independent stands of different designs.

It can be a great old stadium on its day, however id sacrifice a bigger ground if it meant we could see a bit of success

Stadium shah alam is the best

No the South bank next as that way they'll loose less money on gate receipts as the Steve Bull holds more than the current South bank. I've had inside knowledge.

@@sdolman79 inside knowledge from who? Matt wild, Steve Sutton?

@@Shot_by_Stu When the board were talking about redeveloping the stadium they were quite vocal on the fact that South bank would be done 1st

well, it's likely to be built outside town, probably quicker than sorting this one out

@@malcolmgeorge1180 That would be a disaster

Need to go along the lines of Man City me thinks

@@edcarbone4257 Not to the fans who can’t get tickets

@@Wanderingstar967 It would kill the whole city's pub trade if the stadium wasn't in the middle of it.

Look up fosun they are the 4th or 5th wealthiest owners in the prem. Worth over 9 billion mate. I Just wish they'd get on with it lol.

@@MrMilly72 8.5BN USD thats about 5BN GBP, not bad, just not allowed by the Chinese government to release any of the money into British assets

mid to high 50s is a guess. maybe 60k+

50,000. Current capacity is 32000 and last I heard the waiting list for season tickets was over 10,000 in 2019. Long term project to build up to this over next 5 years or so. Steve Bull stand is the main issue. If they can get that sorted out the club can really start to move forward. Still not sure this quite works. The space behind the Steve Bull is very tight with recent expansion of the University Business School, and the orientation of the ground abuts the Waterloo road at a tight angle. Fosun want a purpose multi sport and entertainment complex and conference centre that can generate money 365 days per year. Unfortunately we fans think it is just a matter of more bums on seats. This issue is why nothing has happened on the development front in 2 years. Fosun would like to move to another part of the city where a purpose built stadium can be designed and built with new supporting infrastructure. The Molineux site simply doesn't have the space and infrastructure to support 50K + capacity. This isn't the 1970s where toilet facilities on the old South Bank terrace was urinating into the pockets of the bloke standing next to you. We can't even close the Subway because of the memories of punch ups and knifings that are all part of the "history" of molineux. With a fan base that moronic it is just a matter of time before our inevitable return to the Championship and the departure of Fosun. Being unable to develop the ground has been a problem for over 70 years and destroyed the club in 1982. Fosun should demand agreement from the council to build a new Molineux near Blakenhall on the South East of the ring road. No shortage of land in need of development in Wolverhampton. Close to the Black country way and near Wanderers Avenue in Blakenhall where the club started in the 19th century. Going back home to where it all started and a new future in the 21st century. The current stadium including the Steve Bull or John Ireland as it was known remains a constant reminder of the collapse in the 1980s and the council allowing the University to extend the Business school means it is now more difficult for ground development and expansion. The ground that was the real molineux was demolished in the 1970s and 80s and that atmosphere has never really returned. The council insist that football must be played at Molineux. Unfortunately their nonsensical planning means it will remain a championship stadium and before too long a championship side will once again be playing there.

@@myroseaccount says wba fan

@@myroseaccount There are acres of space behind the Steve Bull Stand (btw it was originally the Molineux Street Stand) for redevelopment and the Sir Jack Haywood Stand could easily be extended to double the size because it is so much smaller than the old South Bank. Besides being seeped in history, Molineux is one of the stadiums that visiting fans enjoy because of its proximity to the city centre and being an easy walk from the station. It is so much better than a soulless generic stadium in the middle of nowhere or an overgrown tin shed in a run down industrial estate with a semi derelict council estate next door like one of our smaller neighbours.

@@tonysutton6559 Dinglehampton is a shithole, everyone's on drugs and they look like they haven't washed in years. I mean in a decent city yes this ground would be fantastic.

Never

Pandemic has just held the spending back a year or two... expecting a big signing or two in the summer, especially if we're in the champions league.

@@edcarbone4257 hope you’re right Ed. Champs League is a big ask though. I think any fundings this summer comes through the sale of Neves unfortunately. He deserves to be playing at the very top. I just hope it’s with Wolves 🐺

Wolves is still one of my favourite away days, I have been to far worse grounds. It’s a nice stadium tbh but it’s not big enough

Nowt wrong it's just not big enough

The only reason* that it is being upgraded is that it is too small and there is a waiting list of about 10,000 for season tickets. The Billy Wright stand was built with expansion in mind with the structure being designed to have a third tier added in the future if needed. *Other than the Steve Bull Stand which was built in the late 1970s.

@@tonysutton6559 10,000 waiting list for a season ticket and yet your game against Arsenal went on general sale?

12000 on the season ticket waiting list.

@@SM-co3bv only 12000 fans more than the capacity ? And how much will be the new capacity?

There are at least 10,000 people on the waiting list for season tickets and if the club hit their targets to be regularly involved in Europe that will only increase.

Easily
