Wolves atau Wolverhampton Wanderers adalah klub yang baru saja berpromosi ke Premier League sebagai Juara Divisi Championship musim 2008-2009.
Spoiler
Juara Championship ini baru kembali lagi ke Premiership setelah 5 tahun berjuang di divisi satu. Mereka promosi secara otomatis setelah menjuarai Divisi Championship dengan perolehan 90 poin hasil 27 kali menang, 9 seri dan 10 kali kalah.
Mereka kali ini berambisi untuk tetap tinggal di Liga Primer lebih lama setelah setelah meyakinkan menjuarai Divisi Championship. Dengan pemain yang sebagian besar belum teruji di level terkeras seperti Premier League, petinggi Wolves langsung mencanangkan untuk memberi dana yang cukup bagi manager Mick Mc Carthy demi memperkuat skuad.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have played at Molineux, Whitmore Reans, since 1889. Their previous home was in the Blakenhall area, and although no signs of the ground remain, a nearby road is called Wanderers Avenue. The Molineux name originates from Benjamin Molineux, a local merchant who built his home on the grounds. Northampton Brewery, who later owned the site, rented its use to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1889, who had previously lacked a permanent home. After renovating the site, the first ever league game was staged on 7 September 1889 in a 2-0 victory over Notts County before a crowd of 4,000.
In 1953, the stadium became one of the first to install floodlights, at an estimated cost of £10,000. The first ever floodlit game was held on 30 September 1953, as Wolves won 3-1 against South Africa. The addition of the floodlights opened the door for Molineux to host a series of midweek friendlies against teams from across the globe. In the days prior to the formation of the European Cup and international club competitions, these games were highly prestigious and gained huge crowds and interest, the BBC often televising such events.
The old South Bank at Molineux is also historically the second largest of all Kop ends closely followed by Aston Villa's Holte End, both of which regularly held crowds in excess of 30,000.
Fluctuating attendances
When Wolves were at their height of success during the 1950s (three League Championships and two FA Cups) Molineux regularly held over 50,000 mostly standing spectators. By the time of their sharp decline during the 1980s, only the newly built 9,500-seat John Ireland Stand (now the Steve Bull Stand) and the much reduced South Bank (15,500) were in use. This reduction in capacity was due to the fact that the other two stands were wood-built and declared unsafe following the Bradford City disaster, in which a wood-built stand caught fire and killed 56 people in 1985. In the days before the Taylor Report, which required British football stadia to provide seating for all those attending, the ground had a capacity of over 60,000; the record attendance for a match at the ground is 61,315 for a game against Liverpool in the First Division on 11 February 1939.
Redevelopment
Between 1991 and 1993, Molineux was comprehensively redeveloped. The Waterloo Road stand was replaced by the all-seat Billy Wright Stand, the North Bank terrace was replaced by the Stan Cullis Stand, and the South Bank terrace was replaced by the Jack Harris Stand. By the 1993–94 season the Molineux had a 28,525 all-seated capacity making Molineux the twenty-sixth largest in English football. But by the time of the 2003 promotion, Molineux was the fifteenth largest Premiership stadium. In the previous decade, many of the smaller stadiums had either been expanded or replaced to hold a capacity of between 30,000 and 67,000 seated spectators. For the 2003–04 to 2005–06 seasons, the corner between the Billy Wright and Jack Harris Stands was filled in with temporary seating to create a further 900 seats named the Graham Hughes stand (the Clubs Official Historian), bringing the ground's capacity to 29,400. These temporary seats were removed during the 2006 close season.
Millionaire owner Steve Morgan is keen to "transform the city centre ground into a venue fit for Premiership football"[20], although the scale and speed of the expansion plans will depend on Wolves stabilising themselves in the Premier League. As a result of Wolves's promotion to the Premier League, the temporary seating will return for the 2009-2010 campaign. morgan has stated that they want to up the capisty to over 40,000. but work depends on us staying in the premier leauge.
Training ground
The Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground, opened in 2005, is a £4.6m, state-of-the-art development located in Compton, Wolverhampton. The two-storey building stands approximately one mile to the west of the stadium, and contains five high-quality training pitches, eleven changing rooms, medical and physiotherapy facilities, gymnasium, and a hydrotherapy pool, one of only a handful of English clubs to own such equipment.
