Molineux Stadium is one of the most distinctive and renowned stadiums in the country and is where you’ll find thousands of vocal Wolves fans on home days. The stadium has four large stands, each named after an historical Wolves figure – Billy Wright, Steve Bull, Stan Cullis and the Sir Jack Hayward stands. The former run the length of the pitch while the latter are situated behind the goals and it’s on the Sir Jack Hayward stand that you’ll find the loudest and enthusiastic fans.
If you’re not local to Wolverhampton and are visiting for a home game, you’ll want to make the most of your time at Molineux. The following list will ensure you make the most of your time at a Wolves home game.
Pre-Match Pints
Wolverhampton is filled with some great bars and pubs for grabbing a pint before the game and there are numerous pubs around the ground, particularly The Wanderer and The Moon Under Water that are great for home fans. The George Wallis is also a popular option and serves food as well if you want to grab a bite to set you up for the day, while the Duke of York has a great atmosphere on match days.
Buy a Matchday Programme
If you’re looking for an inexpensive but memorable souvenir of your day at Molineux, why not pick up a matchday programme? They’re £3 and can be bought at home games from a number of sellers outside the stadium or from the Megastore.
Place Your Bets
If you’re betting on the game, be sure to place them beforehand so you’re ready when kick-off begins to take to your seat and support the team. There are betting facilities within the grounds or alternatively you can place your bets online beforehand with InfoGol to save you time on the day – particularly useful if you end up winning but don’t have time to queue to collect your money at the end of the game!
Grab Some Merch
The Megastore is a must-visit for any Wolves fan where you can pick up merchandise and souvenirs of your day at Molineux Stadium. On match days, it’s open until kick-off and from 15 minutes before full-time, so be sure to plan your visit carefully so you have enough time to buy what you want and make your way to your seat.
Head to the Museum
If you’ve got time to spare before the game, why not head to the Wolves’ museum? Opened in 2012, it’s packed with memorabilia and interesting content, and even has its own cinema and an interactive football game where you can take penalties against computerised versions of former Wolves players. If you’re a hardcore Wolves fan you won’t want to miss out on this significant portion of the stadium so it’s worth grabbing a ticket for, particularly if you’re not local to the area and want to soak up some of the club’s history.
