i traveled here on the 17th december when stoke won wolves 2-1, the train ride was only a short distance away and took less than 15 minutes walking to the stadium, the home fans were friendley outside the stadium, the service at the food and drink kiosks were quick and quality even though they ran out of food at half time, good match fairley cold inside the stadium good banter from the top tier and the main home stand behind the goal with some santas giving the banter back which increased the quality of the whole day. in conclusion this was a good day out and would recomend anyone to take the journey to the molineux stadium if you like a quality game with good banter from the home fans.

Drove down to Molyneux and parked a short walk from the ground at 5 Ways Parking (as above) for £3. Easy to get away from the car park after the game but Wolverhampton itself was a jammed and took well over half an hour to get under way.

Molyneux is unfinished with one stand half built but otherwise its a great stadium with the best bunch of fans I’ve come across this season. Those in the unfinshed stand got soaked in heavy rain but kept supporting their team despite the inclement weather. They kept behind the team all through the match even after Wolves went behind twice. There was some booing at the end of the game and it wasn’t clear to me if it was for their manager or the linesman. Either way, I don’t understand why you would boo a manager after your team has played well or after the linesman got a crucial decision right The atmosphere at Molyneux is a really good one with crowd noise coming from all directions but the home fans have an unfair advantage over the visitors. Away fans are housed in a thin strip all the way down one side of the pitch and it’s hard to coordinate a song with different songs starting at different ends of the ground and meeting in the middle in confusion. Maybe once the ground is finished away fans will be housed at one end as is traditional or maybe Wolves will want to continue to have an unfair advantage? The view from the away areas is also low down so not the best but not the worst either.

Facilities are decent. Bog standard ordinary crap beer inside the ground. We didn’t bother with the local pubs as all the info suggests you should stay away if you are wearing colours and who goes to an away game not wearing colours? We had a few chats with Wolves fans and they were a decent lot, very friendly, so why we can’t share a drink with them is beyond me. I was starving and had a burger outside. It was poor quality really but filled a hole. We tried the pies inside the ground, beef and chicken balti, and both were decent. On the way out of the game I noticed a hog roast which I’d missed on the way in so maybe there is better food to be had.

Found some parking quite easily near to the ground on the ring road, trouble free walk to the ground, wolves fans seemed quite laid back, got to the ground down the road past The Feathers pub to the away end, very few police were visable, after a quick search entry into the ground was quick, the concourse is narrow, Dark and dingy and gets stuffy when full, the seating is quite tight although we stood through the game this was no issue, Wolves fans were quiet and struugled to create any real noise (not a suprise considering thier recent run) they came to life after Wolves pulled back to 2-2, after the final whistle we exited the ground and made our way back to the car, when walking near the subway a group of Wolves fans attacked three 15-16 year old kids wearing Swansea colours, the young kids had to fight back a bit to try and get away, although when the Wolves spotters saw a group of Swansea walking up the road unaware of what was going on they quickly hid back into the crowd, it’s a shame this still goes on, even worse when young kids minding their own business are targeted, then to hide from a group that were more mature? The Wolves fans i spoke to after the incident were quite embarassed, and laughed at the fact 3 young kids had given as good as they got against 6-8 guy’s in their 30′s.

Would never go to Wolves again. As soon as we arrived in Wolverhampton (travelled from London, where I now live), was hearded to ground by Police. However the hostility we faced, would not have risked trying to have a pint. After the game, even though Wolves won game easily, it was like walking through a war zone. All the way back to the train station we were pelted with anything the home ‘supporters’ could get their hands on. Never again. If you decide to travel here, TAKE CARE

we arrived very early on the train and were desperate for a coffee and some breakfast.
Just up from the station we came across a wine bar called quadro? bar and although my family of four were wearing Fulham colours the owner of the bar opened the doors and let us wait whilst she got ready to open.
We had a pile of sandwiches and great coffee and the lady who was the owner told us about the town and were to go and was very friendly.
We decided to stay there all morning and by 12 it was packed with fans great crowd.
We were escorted by locals to the ground and had a great day.
The pitch and ground were great and we enjoyed the whole experience.
After the game we went back to the bar had some noodles for dinner very nice and spicy.
Banter with locals and a short walk to train
Everyone was polite and very friendly and the owner of the bar could not have made us more welcome

Not a nice area at all, ground needs refurbishing, wasn’t very well policed, found a nice bar in the city centre though which isn’t that far from the ground which is good, the view for us was the lower tier steve bull stand and it was shocking, and we were if i’m honest too far away from the pitch, the fans are ignorant but you’ve gotta give it to them for the atmosphere created by them in the stand behind the goal

Arrived at the ground with a few hours to spare so we had a wonder through the City centre which is only 5 mins from the stadium!
Had a few problems trying to find a pub/bar to drink in as most wont allow away fans. Didnt encounter any hostility at all from the Wolves fans which always helps with the banter!
We were seated in the lower tear of the steve bull stand which makes it hard for the away support to generate much noise even though 3,100 of us were threre. However small the stadium may be compared to some of the premier leage grounds, the Wolves fans created an Electric Atmosphere which made for a cracking game, it sounded more like 60,000 fans were there instead of the actual 29,000! A credit to their team!! Well policed and the escort back to the coaches was trouble free!

Went for a cup game, and the home support was small and quiet. Palace sold mout their section and were very loud however. felt a long way from all the other stands, which i didn’t like. home fans were freindly enough, lots of bantewr on way to ground and in the famous subway. Can reccomend The Great Western, a lovely old two bar pub behind the station. brilliant, cheap Holdens beers, and lovely food, home and away supporters but a good atmosphere. head right out of the station (not towards the bridge) and down some stairs into a subway, then right down an alley that leads you to the pub.
