Wolverhampton Wanderers have made it known that they are planning to expand the capacity of Molineux to around 50,000. The clubs promotion to the Premier League has seen a big increase in demand for season tickets and this coupled with the ambitions of the Club's Chinese owners, means that they are looking to increase capacity.
The Club are planning to first replace the Steve Bull Stand on one side. The new stand will have extensive corporate facilities and once completed it will increase the capacity of Molineux from the current 31,700 to around 36,000. This may also result in away fans being moved from that side of the ground, to be housed instead in the upper tier of the Stan Cullis Stand. The second phase of the development would see the Jack Hayward (South Bank) Stand at one end, being replaced with a much larger single tiered stand of around 10,000. Corners of the stadium will also be filled. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

If this actually happens it would be great. This is a continuation of the premier league team's stadium arms race. Teams need more resources to compete and Wolves want to be in the big leagues. I hope they can get it done.
how many seats you recon you could sell out?
@@jammypacks4504 45k I reckon. We have a long ST waiting list.
@@sorryofficer1 yeah fair enough I recon Wolves could fill that one thing I hope wolves don't do is go over 50k because I'm a west ham fan and we have a 60k and sell out most weeks but 10k of them aren't even West Ham fans and just go for the day out. That's why I don't want Wolves to go over 50k because the Molinuex has one of the best away atmospheres and I love going there despite that we've been beat both times I went and I hate the away end
I'm a Celtic fan and Wolves are my favourite English team it will be great to see Molineux's capacity increased to 52,000 it's a great stadium
Where are Wolves going to find 52,000 supporters? Average gate 2022/23... 29,000
@@JohnSmith-fr7js where are you gertting this number from? Their lowest attendance of the season was 30,546. Average is 31k, same as the capacity of the stadium.
Ah, Molineux. Where they built the stands so you don't have to turn your head.
I'm really looking forward to them changing the section for the away fans anyway.
I like Wolves they're a great club
With great a tradition.
If i was from the midlands
I would support either Wolves or Aston Villa.
Hope they do well this season.
All the best Wolves from a Man City fan 👍.
Cheers , man City are also a great club despite having the gulf riches !!
Fair play to you Jim. And congratulations on an almost guaranteed Premiership title.
Wolves are my team
Anyone but villa bro they're stuck in the 80s
Plastic
No disrespect but you don't choose your club you are born into it I'm from London I don't go supporting Chelsea and Arsenal because they are the best team in my city I support West Ham because I was born in Canning Town and My Dad and Grandad used to take me to the games. You shouldn't be allowed to choose your team you should back your local team
Why couldn’t we have done this to Upton Park 😭 I miss that roar at Upton Park and many other teams fans will agree with me. Upton Park was so special and now it’s demolished. I have never been to the bowl and I never will. Away days only from now on. Can’t believe we have had our church demolished.
Getting a free 62,000 seater stadium cost less than spending money
Amazing stadium and great job as always!
Absolutely Beautiful! Do Elland Road please!
They’ve done it. Go to the UK/English stadiums video.
I'm from the nort east..(staunch toon fan)......but I've always had a soft spot for Leeds....got to see elland road for first time couple month back....one good stand..but the rest of the ground was like something from the 50s.....needs modernising very desparetly......
No chance cos Leeds will go down to championship.
he don’t do small clubs stadiums
I didn't realise Molineux has quite an open aspect around the stadium, compared to a lot of older stadiums that are surrounded by terraced houses.
The new additions fit in with the original form of the stadium very nicely.
The terraced houses on the east side of the stadium were purchased by the club and knocked down in the 1970s to make way for the Steve Bull Stand which was built behind the old stand. There is a large ASDA and car park to the NE which was built as part of the rescue package (put together by the Gallagher brothers) when the club was bankrupt in the late 1980s.
The gap between the Molineux Hotel and the South Bank is so large because the new stand is so much smaller than the old one which was one of the largest terraces in the UK. There is so much pedestrian space between the Billy Wright Stand and Waterloo Road to the west because the stadium got moved over by about 30 yards when it was redeveloped under Sir Jack Haywood as the club began its climb back to the top.
@@tonysutton6559 Thanks for all that, I didn't know that. Up the Wolves
That’s why away fans can’t be heard there because the open spaces.
@@rjboxing460 because your all quiet
@ Trish Jackson - no chance. You’re living in denial if you believe that 😂
I remember going to Wolves matches in the late 70s. First match I went to was Wolves v Everton, Jan or Feb 1978 I think it was - Wolves won 3-1. The current stand now called the Steve Bull Stand I think, originally called the John Ireland Stand, was built across the road from the old stand. If you look at videos of Wolves matches from 1979-80 season onward, you will see a big gap to the pitch. The pitch I think was slightly shifted toward the new stand to make the gap a little less so, but it was still way too big. When the remaining old stands were knocked down in the 1990s and rebuilt, to more or less what it is now, the pitch was shifted even further toward the 79-80 stand. Hence, there is a lot of space around Molineux.
I was at that game. I was also in a picture from that game in the tropical times football annual. Pitch was white over.
@@derekpugh6819 I was in the stand that got knocked down in 1979. Not far from the Everton fans. They were chucking snowballs in our direction during halftime. Everyone in the seats there had to stand up to avoid them. Anyway, it was the Everton fans who left disappointed - so we got our revenge.
The sooner this gets done the better.
Went to an away game there in 1988 ... unrecognisable!
Oh yes please, can't wait to see all the stands built like the Stan Cullis stand, will be lovely once it's all complete ❤️
Very nice , hope our stadium will be like that
That would be amazing if they did that for Molineux imagine 50,000 Wolves fans singing we've got Neves or Si Senour that atmosphere would be amazing it's already a buzz with 31,000 of us but imagine 50,000
We need it with the waiting list
Molineux is the best stadium in the PL dont @ me
Not sure about that....i always thought the reason they had the bent stands was, if they weren't any good at Football they could try their hand at something else?? Like Hockey??
Respect for Wolves 👏🏻🐺
If it were up to me, I would start with the Steve Bull Stand which is a relic of 1970s design, too small and with very little leg room. A three tier stand designed to match the final plans for the Billy Wright Stand would increase the capacity to about 40,000 which would generate income for future development.
Inside information told me they will do the South bank next as they will loose less gate receipts that way then the Steve Bull after then the Billy Wright last.
@@sdolman79 It makes sense when you look at it that way and it would also be quicker and cheaper to build the South Bank as well. I just dislike the Steve Bull stand because of the lack of legroom.
Corners definitely need filling in.
I love adding graphics to my content but this is another level
I remember going there when two of the old wooden stands were closed following the Bradford fire and the crowd was about 3,000. Be great for Wolves if it happens.
Shout out 🙌🏼 to club maintain the same place for stadium.
Nice job, saw an interview with the “ new” Chinese billionaire owners a few yrs ago and this was his #1 goal after getting wolves back into the PL & Europe football….
So yeah, I can definitely see this happening
The greatest football church on earth.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Next joke!
Wow come on Wolves 💁♀️😇🥰
seem to remember Wolves having plans for a new stadium around sixty years ago
Imagine how good the atmosphere would be with 50,000 fans cheering.
Something needs to happen soon. The angle on the Stan Cullis stand looks so weird, like they started something and finished 10% of it and ran out of money. Can’t be looking like that.
Seems like only yesterday the pitch was miles from the stand while reconstruction was going on..my mate from school Matt Foreman was playing fir the Wolves then ...
I'd like to see the south bank much bigger like it used to be.
Get it done Jeff
Making a difference among other premier League stadiums
Do what you think the next stadium upgrades should be for 5-10 clubs?
Do Ewood Park home of Blackburn Rovers
The first part looked like an orange old trafford 😭
The Custard Bowl
I’ll never forget the time I was shopping in asda and everyone screamed
I don’t think they can do anything to the Billy Wright stand as it’s too close to Waterloo Road. I’m sure planning permission has been rejected a few times.
ADO scored three own goals at Molineux in a UEFA Cup match(4-0). The roof was so special.
It would be great if you make one but instead of the future of the past, of how emblematic stadiums were built in Europe and America
This is how Fosun see this stadium not far from now . They could go 3.mile down the road and build a brand new one., but appreciate tradition and listen to the fans .patience.is needed , we can't complain, next year will be our 5th year straight in the prem.Wolves are worrying alot of big teams now .
respect from malaysia 😄 .. stadium sultan ibrahim the best malaysia🔥
Stadium shah alam is the best
50000, much bigger than Villa Park then which only has 42000. I hope it gets built .
Villas ceo said recently that there are 20000 on a waiting list for season tickets and were shit, imagine if we were decent
@@avfcad not sure that’s correct as if there were that many surely you would look to expand ? 42,000 capacity seems about right for a club of Villa’s size .
I think that number has only come about since the recent promotion to the prem, there has been talk of the north stand being redeveloped for a while now
@@avfcad it would be a wonderful stadium if they continued the Trinity road stand around the North stand end of the ground , filling in the corner. Villa Park is a proper old school ground with 4 independent stands of different designs.
It can be a great old stadium on its day, however id sacrifice a bigger ground if it meant we could see a bit of success
1990's bwfc and wolved where savere rivals , hated wwfc , now i live in midlands i love wolves and wba , probley only footy fan that can say that
Didnt fosun the owners say they was going to have expanded by now? They seem to not spend any money at the club anymore
FUTURE CENTRAL AMERICA STADIUMS PLEASE!!!
You can use stadiums like the new el salvador national stadium, New alajuelense stadium, New herediano stadium, the remodelation of the magico gonzales olimpic stadium or the new metropolitan olimpic stadium of honduras
Would be brilliant. But it is just a dream.
Will it still be in Wolverhampton? 😃
If this happens, and it will someday, they could host the Euro's just in England! Maybe they will after all :)
All nice and clinical but you’ll end up with a ground like Sunderland Derby Middlesbrough etc. They all look the same just different colour seats. If i were a Wolves supporter I’d want it left as it is. Bit of character to it. Drop the admission prices instead.
Cuando???
Very good stadium for the Portuguese national team
Just to let you know, it seems the She e Bull stand will most likely be the first to be redeveloped
No the South bank next as that way they'll loose less money on gate receipts as the Steve Bull holds more than the current South bank. I've had inside knowledge.
@@sdolman79 inside knowledge from who? Matt wild, Steve Sutton?
@@Shot_by_Stu When the board were talking about redeveloping the stadium they were quite vocal on the fact that South bank would be done 1st
GG Wolves
No inside view?
As a Wolves season ticket holder this for the stadium will NEVER happen
well, it's likely to be built outside town, probably quicker than sorting this one out
@@malcolmgeorge1180 That would be a disaster
Need to go along the lines of Man City me thinks
@@edcarbone4257 Not to the fans who can’t get tickets
@@Wanderingstar967 It would kill the whole city's pub trade if the stadium wasn't in the middle of it.
We need the new ground the fans need it shouldn't have to wait for a season ticket just do the ground foson yu make money out of it just hope it happens soon
To be fair Fosun could have rebuilt the Steve Bull stand during covid lockdown they would have pissed it 🤦🏻
Waiting from 2019 to now. When reset rebuild
Haz el nuevo Estadio Azteca.
Do Blackpool stadium mate
Do portsmouth
wolves got that many fans?? lol i joke o joke , loks great
Look brilliant but still nothing happens since they build first new stand.
32,000 cramped...50,000??? what??
Very nice future stadium but I wonder whether your owners would have enough money to do an improvement or will the local council give you permission?
Look up fosun they are the 4th or 5th wealthiest owners in the prem. Worth over 9 billion mate. I Just wish they'd get on with it lol.
@@MrMilly72 8.5BN USD thats about 5BN GBP, not bad, just not allowed by the Chinese government to release any of the money into British assets
Puedes subir de quilmes porfavor
Do Eastleigh or Southampton or AFC Bournemouth
Pipe dreams, this isn’t happening anytime soon or ever
What would be the final capacity of the stadium?
mid to high 50s is a guess. maybe 60k+
50,000. Current capacity is 32000 and last I heard the waiting list for season tickets was over 10,000 in 2019. Long term project to build up to this over next 5 years or so. Steve Bull stand is the main issue. If they can get that sorted out the club can really start to move forward. Still not sure this quite works. The space behind the Steve Bull is very tight with recent expansion of the University Business School, and the orientation of the ground abuts the Waterloo road at a tight angle. Fosun want a purpose multi sport and entertainment complex and conference centre that can generate money 365 days per year. Unfortunately we fans think it is just a matter of more bums on seats. This issue is why nothing has happened on the development front in 2 years.
Fosun would like to move to another part of the city where a purpose built stadium can be designed and built with new supporting infrastructure. The Molineux site simply doesn't have the space and infrastructure to support 50K + capacity. This isn't the 1970s where toilet facilities on the old South Bank terrace was urinating into the pockets of the bloke standing next to you. We can't even close the Subway because of the memories of punch ups and knifings that are all part of the "history" of molineux. With a fan base that moronic it is just a matter of time before our inevitable return to the Championship and the departure of Fosun.
Being unable to develop the ground has been a problem for over 70 years and destroyed the club in 1982.
Fosun should demand agreement from the council to build a new Molineux near Blakenhall on the South East of the ring road. No shortage of land in need of development in Wolverhampton. Close to the Black country way and near Wanderers Avenue in Blakenhall where the club started in the 19th century. Going back home to where it all started and a new future in the 21st century.
The current stadium including the Steve Bull or John Ireland as it was known remains a constant reminder of the collapse in the 1980s and the council allowing the University to extend the Business school means it is now more difficult for ground development and expansion. The ground that was the real molineux was demolished in the 1970s and 80s and that atmosphere has never really returned. The council insist that football must be played at Molineux. Unfortunately their nonsensical planning means it will remain a championship stadium and before too long a championship side will once again be playing there.
@@myroseaccount says wba fan
@@myroseaccount There are acres of space behind the Steve Bull Stand (btw it was originally the Molineux Street Stand) for redevelopment and the Sir Jack Haywood Stand could easily be extended to double the size because it is so much smaller than the old South Bank.
Besides being seeped in history, Molineux is one of the stadiums that visiting fans enjoy because of its proximity to the city centre and being an easy walk from the station. It is so much better than a soulless generic stadium in the middle of nowhere or an overgrown tin shed in a run down industrial estate with a semi derelict council estate next door like one of our smaller neighbours.
@@tonysutton6559 Dinglehampton is a shithole, everyone's on drugs and they look like they haven't washed in years. I mean in a decent city yes this ground would be fantastic.
Do thew Atletico Mineiro Stadium please, Arena MRV!!!
Pipe dream
When will this happen?
Never
@@Mz77519 lol
@@OfficialSimon2004 often you see Videos like this but they will never build it
SouthBank needs to be a separate stand, not joined to the sides imo.
Only way fosun will ever develop stadium is if we get into the champions league
Why do the away fans sit where they do? Anytime you watch a Wolves game or even play them in FIFA, the away fans are right in front of the main camera view. No other team that I notice is like this and it’s quite weird. You would think at a home match, you want only your fans in the main camera view
🇹🇷❤️🐺
These plans were an idea when Wolves Chinese owners were new and claiming Wolves would be the next Man City and challenging at the very top.
They’ve since realised this costs a lot more than they’re willing to spend.
They’ve stopped spending on player recruitment and allowed Adama to leave as they wouldn’t break their wage structure to offer him a better contract.
As a Wolves fan I would love to see Molineux look like this, but I doubt it will happen in the next decade, or ever.
Pandemic has just held the spending back a year or two... expecting a big signing or two in the summer, especially if we're in the champions league.
@@edcarbone4257 hope you’re right Ed. Champs League is a big ask though. I think any fundings this summer comes through the sale of Neves unfortunately. He deserves to be playing at the very top. I just hope it’s with Wolves 🐺
I feel old because I remember the current stadiums opening game. It must be only about 30 years ago. I've never visited it, but it says a lot about the quality of the design in the fact it's already needing to be torn down and replaced.
I'm always an advocate of having a large single tiered home end and stands close to the pitch. Spurs is a really good design. Emirates doesn't generate any atmosphere. I really don't like the mini old traffords like Leicester either.
Wolves is still one of my favourite away days, I have been to far worse grounds. It’s a nice stadium tbh but it’s not big enough
Nowt wrong it's just not big enough
The only reason* that it is being upgraded is that it is too small and there is a waiting list of about 10,000 for season tickets. The Billy Wright stand was built with expansion in mind with the structure being designed to have a third tier added in the future if needed.
*Other than the Steve Bull Stand which was built in the late 1970s.
@@tonysutton6559 10,000 waiting list for a season ticket and yet your game against Arsenal went on general sale?
@@derenh1052 of course, EPL rules state that a certain percentage of tickets have to go on general sale.

I used to be a big wolves follower in the 60s & 70s, but not now it is too expensive, all the stadium will do is push the prices up not increase the crowds.
Do they have enough fans to fullfil the stadium
12000 on the season ticket waiting list.
@@SM-co3bv only 12000 fans more than the capacity ? And how much will be the new capacity?
There are at least 10,000 people on the waiting list for season tickets and if the club hit their targets to be regularly involved in Europe that will only increase.
Easily
@@tonysutton6559 and how many seats will be at final capacity?
Galatasaray Stadium?
Best ground in the championship 😂😂
I’m afraid this will never happen,with utility prices going up and the price of food football attendance’s will dramatically fall.
That stadium does not fit in the space available. These are simulations and not plans and you could show the Camp Nou in the space between the Wolves business school and the Waterloo Road if you wanted. The Billy Wright stand abuts at a tight angle into the Waterloo road. Suddenly a new 2 tier wing stand appears in exactly the same footprint. This does not work. Also where did the Wolves Business school disappear to when showing the sequence where the Steve Bull stand is replaced? Again the space is very tight to fit in a new larger 2 tier wing stand. The council have screwed the club AGAIN as they have done many times down the decades.
They have insisted football is played at Molineux whilst allowing developments that have narrowed and reduced the space available for a serious redevelopment. Fosun have been talking to the Council and the University about finding a solution to this complete and utter nonsensical set of planning decisions for over 3 years and is the reason we're hearing nothing substantive on stadium development. I also think the obvious issues with the Molineux site maybe one of the reasons Fosun are struggling to find partners to support stadium development.
It is essential they get going with investment in a new ground. Players come and go, and if the foundations are not in place the team will once again be a championship team playing in a championship stadium. I blame the council and the old ruling cabal of local landowners. WTF did they allow a massive multi million pound extension of the business school pointing straight out towards the Steve Bull stand. Whoever reviews and approves major building works and investment in the council are fucking morons.
As if there is a shortage of land in need of development in Wolverhampton they have to pack everything in and around the football stadium. Cretinous morons do not typically deserve to have a brilliant world class football team in their city. At the moment Fosun and what they have done with Wolves appears to be an aberration that will be coming to an end sooner rather than later.
Wow, nearly as good as Loftus Road 🤣
loftus road is a subbuteo ground lol

CGI’s of fictional stadiums. People are so guliable.
These initial plans were revealed by the club 2 years ago.
If I’m being completely honest I don’t want an expansion. Stadium these days lose the retro feel and don’t create an atmosphere. I’d expand a tad with the classic feel of molineux.
