Club formed in 1877 Molineux has been completely rebuilt in recent years , with the oldest stand, then called the John Ireland Stand (since renamed the Steve Bull Stand) being opened in 1979. Three other stands were then built in the early 1990's with the Jack Harris Stand the last to be completed in December 1993. The stadium itself is superb and is made up of four separate stands, complete with a couple of posh video screens in two corners, which show the game as it is being played. Both ends are large single tiered stands (one of which the Stan Cullis Stand has a small clock perched on its roof), whilst both sides are two tiered with a row of executive boxes along the middle. Both the side stands are unusual in being oval in shape, meaning that those sitting on the half way line are furthest away from the playing action. It is a pity that the stands do not go all the way around the ground, (the corners of the ground are largely open) as this would make it a truly wonderful stadium. Martyn Wells adds; 'the clock on the Stan Cullis Stand, is the original timepiece that sat atop the old Molineux Street Stand (now the Steve Bull Stand) since the 19 3 0's. It was moved when the stands were re-developed'. Wolverhampton Wanderers Football News Website: wolves.co.uk Back to FA Championship Soccer Stadiums |
