stealthpapes Wolverhampton is a shit hole. Hit hard by the KFC shortage and the only pub on way to ground from the tram was what seemed to be the biggest Yates' in the world.
Molyneux is a grand lady of a stadium. Seat up in the sticks, good view.
We were desperate.
However, there was a massive plus point to the game - the match DJ had some absolute tunes in his locker and not just the standard dingle nonsense.
As I walked to my seat? Breaking into Heaven off Second Coming (I
think).

I actually had the opposite opinion of Wolverhampton. Expected a shithole, found a couple of decent pubs. One traditional with a bit of a new hipsterish tendency, but not too full on, just coffee available as well as beer and slightly posh expensive bar snacks etc.
Second proper traditional in a nags head sense, wet pub, with a few pies and rolls on sale.
Third was a massive place rammed pre match, felt like a big walkabout, but wasn't a walkabout.
My overwhelming impression of the place was really friendly. Even the bouncer on the door of the third place whose only job it was was to stop Reading fans entering let us in, even though it was clear to him that we were Reading fans, and clear to us that it was clear to him that we were Reading fans.
