Agree, superb day out, botanist is a mega venue! Wolves fans were absolutely fine as well.

Which given it kicked off there a few years ago, I'm surprised haha

Worst part of the trip was the return journey.
Imagine the scene, 1000's leaving Wolves and planning their return.
We'll skip Oxford services because the coaches stop there and I bet everyone else stops there as well. No we'll keep on until Beaconsfield, it'll be quieter there.
M40 rammed with car after car after coach after car.
Straight past Oxford and pull into a rammed Beaconsfield. All 3000 (minus the train crew) have decided to turn up at exactly the same time. A dozen coaches, 100's of cars and blue & white everywhere. It was bad and we knew 3 x Spirit of Sussex coaches and Lynns were still behind us!

I enjoy Wolverhampton away when I meet my mates in Birmingham and we have to spend as little time as possible in the city. I'll grant you It does have stuff going for it. The city centre location of the ground, easy parking and the fans are generally friendly (excluding the guy in the Roger Johnson days who had a wolf tat on his face who enquired "where the rest of you faggots are" before chasing 2 Herbert's across the park) but best in Premier league? Absolutely not.
The away end where you can't get any atmosphere going, the number of home only pubs, the city itself is a dump, that crappy Premier Inn bar we had to drink in (thank god that's shut), the fan zone in a car park. I could go on. Give me Newcastle, Liverpool, Nottingham or more or less any London venue over Wolverhampton.

Oh, that’s my point, that the chanting was real and conspicuous, not that only a few bad eggs were to blame.

I think it's definitely underrated as a town, but even across the midlands there are better away days, for me.

My favourite normally as can get direct train from Taunton but marred yesterday by engineering works between Cheltenham and Birmingham, requiring either a scenic 4 hour journey partly through Wales with 4 changes or using rail replacement bus.
M5 won that battle and was easy parking in city centre.

Given the posts from the poster you're responding to, I wouldn't be that surprised.

Large, and generously filled too. All for £3. You have the opportunity to get involved next season.I want to know how big the baps are?

The away end was much better in the corner despite the segregation being non existent.

Thanks, I look forward to enjoying a pair of large and generously filled baps next season.

UTA!!
All the while the away end is spread so thin across the whole length of the pitch it'll never be near the top of great away games
Atmosphere such hard work
Shame as the rest is superb
