        Not sure id want to roam around Wolverhampton and take in the ‘sights’ for any length of time.
        Best to jump on a train to Birmingham and catch one back given the ‘welcome’ you will probably receive from the locals .
        safe journeys

              Got to agree with the comments here

              Wolves away is the only ground your guaranteed trouble

              Coach in and out and let the police deal with the idiots

              Mate of mine got hit in the face with a sock full of pool balls last time and many on here will remember the police dogs

              Is this a recent thing or something that happened in the past. I attended the university there between 1996 – 99 & lived RIGHT next door to the ground when i lived in the student halls & never saw a thing. The only time i did see a scuffle was when they played west brom once but even that was only minor.

                  You just have to be vigilant anywhere really always a gang of bullies ready to intimidate in some of these places.
                  one thing I’m proud of is that our town and people welcome people in and treat them well regardless of origin and our supporters have no time for bullies either.

                    In the incident I’m referring to and probably Garswood to, on leaving the ground Wolves fans immediately mingled in with the Wigan crowd, selected their prey and then began their intimidation routine. There is a steady incline back to the coaches where you are not protected, its not that far so you really don’t expect any trouble.

                    I had a middle aged chap standing on my toes and bumping into me trying to get a response. This was happening to loads of Wiganers despite age or gender. In a crowd situation this is nigh impossible to pick up on CCTV.

                    Their aim was to get a physical response from you and then bushak, they would wade into you claiming it to be simply protecting themselves against your aggressive behaviour.
                    I quickly had this sussed, so simply nibbled back without making it too obvious. My other mates were getting the same, the odd fan did react and that’s when the attacks / fighting started.

                    It didn’t end there, as the away crowd reached the top of the hill, some geezers who looked like officials, where directing the fans down a street to the right. We could see the coaches to the left in the distance, so we ignored them and carried on. Those who took the right turn, thinking it was a safety measure to keep fans apart, were met with a possy of Wolves fans despite coppers being all over the place. It must happen regular, so why the coppers didn’t intervene god only knows.

                    I’m making this out to be the worst option for travel,the fans traveling by train may have missed all this, but my thinking is if it happens so close to the ground with a heavy police presence, then town centre areas must be a nightmare.
                    My advice is do not wear the club colours if going by train, keep a low profile especially if we win.
                    Hopefully these idiots may have grown out of their thuggery, although like I said, the majority looked to be between 30 and 40 years old.

                    I’ll still be there for the game and just hope that 10 years on things have changed. :woohoo:

                      Went to Wolves v Birmingham a few years ago and I was in with the Brummies in the lower tier of the Steve bull stand. You can imagine what was being dropped from above, it was terrifying. Also been to Wolves v Albion and that was just chaos. the coach park that jr is on about was just a battlefield. Care is definitely needed when visiting the Molineux.

                          It was not meant to put people off going, it’s just to warn people of what they could face if they wear the colours and stray into home territory. At most places you would just get a few sulky faces and the odd scowl from the losing home fans, I would not take any chances personally at this place.
                          I missed a few other things from my account of that day, George will know what things went on, it was pretty horrendous.

                          People go on about the Den being the worst place to visit, I have Millwall down as the safest place to go by coach. You get driven straight into a cage with all the Millwall animals banging on the mesh and shouting stuff.

                          Molineaux closely followed by Elland Road are the worst IMHO.

                          I personally know simmpool and know that he would not go down by train singing latics songs on the way to the ground waving blue and white scarves, its others who may try this that may be at risk, especially if consuming plenty “pop”. :ohmy:
