I accept that 4 most of us that, much like our parents, we don't get to choose 
our football team. For me also. I never forgave my mate who defected to support 
Lpool in 1975. 

But I am a bit more hands off than you lot. 

Cheers

Richard

 I have often wondered how my life would have changed if, on that fateful
 Wednesday night in 1966, my Dad had taken me to Old Trafford instead of
 Molineux. It's rather like dreaming of winning lotto: a few minutes of
 fantasy and then back to reality. Nevertheless, it was Molineux that night
 and I was immediately under the Wolves spell. I really don't know how anyone
 can stop supporting them. Remember those few minutes back in 80's when we
 almost went bust, and the Doog came through at the last minute to save us
 (albeit temporarily). I was on the 'phone to England where dad had the
 receiver against the radio with live coverage of events. The sheer joy of
 being saved. I still think of that moment when things look bleak. Prefer to
 support a Wolves side wherever they may be, and long as they are there.
 We will have our time in the sun again sometime.

 Yes Richard, thats right, theres no way out. Supporting Wolves is a life
 long suffering there is no escape from. You can change your room, but you
 can't checkout.
 
 You can run, but you can't hide. You think you're free, but sooner or later
 you'll walk around the corner and see another loser in a Old Gold and Black
 shirt, and you'll start wondering again... I wonder where they are in the
 league now? (should be IF they are still in the league) They must be doing
 better by now ?  (no, they wont be) I wonder if they've found another Steve
 Bull ? (no, theres more chance of him making a comeback) Have they still got
 that Mick McCarthy as manager ? (yes, they probably will) Have they bought
 any decent players yet (no, they wont have)
 
 We must all be paying a penance for a high price for being horrible people
 in previous incarnations. But we have probably chosen to be Wolves fans as I
 hear the more suffering you choose in each life, the greater growth you can
 achieve. So when we get to the pearly gates, we'll all be in for a BIG
 heavenly payout that will make 500 virgins seem like childs play.
 
 I'm sure Steve will take you off the list. But what will you tell God when
 he meets you and he asks why you walked out on your chosen suffering ?  Out
 of Darkness remember...  ;-)

2011-10-19 Thread LEESE Matthew

My first games going to watch Wolves were in the old 4th division (my old man's 
a Liverpool fan so I didn't inherit them through a family member who took me as 
a kid) and I have to say, those were some of my best times watching Wolves. 
Major disappointment watching us lose to Aldershot in the play offs, but from 
that point we had a few great years where we tore teams apart and Steve Bull 
was scoring for fun. Going to grounds where the away fans out numbered the 
home, paying blokes on the turnstiles a backhander to let us in and having a 
right laugh with my mates as we secured successive promotions were my 'halcyon 
days'. Our extended stay in what is now the Championship became a bit of a 
grind after a while and the expectation that came with Sir Jack's investment 
changed the whole atmosphere. Me and my mates had many conversations during 
that period about the merits of getting relegated - getting to go to a few 
different grounds again, losing some of the annoying home 'fans' and lowering 
people's expectations - but ultimately concluded that while it would be 
refreshing to go to few different grounds again the atmosphere would never 
return to that carefree 'backs to the wall' one that came with coming within 
touching distance of going under and the expectation levels would probably be 
even greater as we played teams like Bury and Rochdale in our shiny new stadium 
rather than the 2 sided relic of the pre-Hayward days. 

Ah, the good old bad old days

Luxury!
I've been a Wolves fan since 1896!!
But apart from Joe/Jack/John Tonks (ggfather) losing the cup final that
year, my first excursions to the Mol were in 1974 - seeing the Doog play
when we lost to Spurs and beat Carlisle. I remember my dad yelling at
Sunderland to get his hair cut as several headers just slid off
ineffectually in front of goal.
It was great to be there for an EPL win in Dec 2009 when we beat Bolton.
Can't wait to be there again...
