Our trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers is on Saturday, with a 3pm kick-off, and you’ll find Molineux is on the northern edge of the city centre, just outside the ring road.
To get there by car you need to take junction 10 off the M6, then keep following signs to Wolverhampton on the A454, until you reach the ring road. There you take the 4th. Exit from the roundabout (signposted Stafford A449) and the stadium is on the right-hand side after 0.6 Miles.
The best option for parking is to use the Civic Hall car park just off the ring road near Molineux, which costs £3 for three hours or £4.50 for four hours. Otherwise, there are plenty of city centre car parks a short distance from the stadium, but the police advise away fans not to use the car park behind 'The Wanderer' pub, where many vehicles have been vandalised.
The ground is about 15 minutes walk from the train station. Leave the station and turn immediately right, following the ring road as it continues around to the left. Eventually you will see the Molineux on the right.
It is generally recommended that you don't wear Leeds colours anywhere in the city centre. Most of the pubs near the stadium are best avoided, as they tend to be full of hostile Wolves fans and the publicans don't need the extra trade or possible hassle from away fans. Some establishments are members only. And I don't know of any decent takeaways near the stadium, but there are loads of food vans outside Molineux on matchdays. Inside the food is mainly pies and pasties.
The designated away bar in the city centre is the ‘Stonehouse’ in Queen Street, though Real ale fans should look out for the ‘Great Western’ pub, which is behind the railway station. Instead of heading towards the Stadium you need turn right and go down a path that goes underneath the station, although you might not get in if you're wearing Leeds colours. Another another place you could try is a bar called the ‘Bluebrick’ inside the Premier Inn hotel, which is close to the ‘Great Western’.
During the 1990s the stadium enjoyed a £20M makeover, thanks to the financial backing of Sir Jack Hayward. In 1992 the pitch was moved to the east so the John Ireland stand no longer stood in splendid isolation, and the Stan Cullis stand replaced the remains of the former North Bank terrace.
At the start of the 1993/4 season the Jack Harris stand opened and the scheme was completed when the Jack Harris stand replaced the North Bank in the December of the same season. More recently, they have added an extra tier to the Stan Cullis stand, which now towers over the rest of the stadium.
The total capacity is now 31,700, and away fans normally get 1,600 seats on one side of the upper tier of the new Stan Cullis Stand, though supporters of the bigger clubs are given an allocation of 2,750 in something called the 'Steve Bull lower.' Yep, that’s us! Ticket prices for this section are £30 for adults and £10-£15 for different categories of concessions, and the official Leeds site still has tickets on sale for this game.
The Leeds allocation has been sold out since the start of the week, and the remaining home seats have now gone on general sale. This is tempting, but you should bear in mind that in the past away fans found in home stands have been marched to the police station and photographed for their records, despite the fact they have only broken ground regulations by being there and haven’t committed any criminal offence.
The Club have planning permission to re-develop the Steve Bull stand, which is now the oldest part of the stadium even though it was completed relatively recently in 1981 (at a huge cost which nearly dragged Wolves into bankruptcy). This would further increase capacity to around 36,000 and the scheme was supposed to start at the end of the 2011/2 season, but after relegation the Club decided put it all on hold. It may be that they won’t dust down the plans until they get back into the Premier League, so it may have to wait for a while yet.
