Yeah it's decent, but Fulham and Forest better ( apart from results)
[Albion] Wolves - The Best Away Day in the League?

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Not for me.
Don’t mind Forest, great atmosphere.
Fulham nice because it’s local, but otherwise a bit meh….
Possibly because that's the only nominated away pub.

Wolves v Newcastle? No comparison

First went there in 1979 when Wardy scored a hat trick. It was pretty derelict then and the pitch was a frozen quagmire. I've been countless times since and never lost (in the league) Lovely bike ride up the canal towpath today, parked the car out near the M6 and the bike at Asda. Home near Coventry by 6.30. Good day out.

I liked the slightly less militaristic entry and more friendly stewards than you get at many grounds. For a change once a season, I actually like the side view and the banter you get with the excitable corporates behind. The fact we beat Wolves a lot is a major plus. I dunno the best but certainly top half of the table

Fulham normally my favourite, great ground.
But we are shit there and this season their fans were absolute twats.

Brilliant in the Great Western today and no security on first door. Great catch up with ex work colleague and Wolves STH
And a great win, what's not to like ?

Much prefer Newcastle and Sheffield personally.

Fucks me off when homophobic chanting is brushed aside as 'banter'.
Would you have the same relaxed response to racist chanting...? I bet you wouldnt.

Thing is, there will be gay fans in the ground home and away that will feel unwelcome and potentially threatened by large groups of people chanting this stuff.
This is exactly why there isn't a openly gay footballer and why the Rainbow Laces iniative serves a purpose.
Is it PotG?

All down to personal opinion, but Wolves isn't in my top 10 'aways'.

Would you find it banter as a gay fan? I’m not sure what to make of your post tbh. Is racial chanting banter to you?
Fulham used to be our favourite but usurped by Brentford. Pub right on the Thames tow path, short walk to the ground (although, like Fulham, not a great result this year).

I have to say, I felt quite smug when I pulled out my sunhat and glasses. Tremendous decision.I remembered my hat and sunglasses but have a very red nose.
I also echo people who find it a good trip. I had beers in town with no issues whatsoever and that's nine points out of nine for my three trips there
This is all very well, but I have never once, home or away, come away from a Wolves game without facing homophobia. It's not a case of a few ****s, there were hundreds chanting this stuff yesterday. More has to be done but, like Chelsea, my view is they're just a bigoted fan base at core.
