Wolverhampton Wanderers: Molineux since 1889

A brief history of Molineux, the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club since 1889. The first stadium built for use by a Football League club. It was one of the first British grounds to have floodlights installed and hosted some of the earliest European club games in the 1950s. Wolves moved into Molineux Stadium in 1889, having played at various grounds in the first decade of their existence. Molineux was the site of the first ever league game played in English history. On 7 September 1889 Wolves beat Notts County 2-0. In 1923, Wolves were able to buy the ground the stadium stood on, and soon after started building a new main stand, the Waterloo Road Stand, which had been designed by Archibald Leitch. Development continued in the next decade with the opening of the new Molineux Street Stand in 1932 and the renovations of both end terraces in 1935. In 1939, Molineux recorded its highest attendance when 61,315 fans saw Wolves play Liverpool in an FA Cup match. Molineux remained practically unchanged in the following decades, and slowly fell into a state of disrepair. In 1975, the Molineux Street Stand failed to meet safety requirements and a new luxury grandstand was built instead. This new stand however severely impacted Wolves’ finances and brought the club on the brink of bankruptcy. By the 1980s, only two stands were in use and the club lacked the finances to make improvements to the ground. Only after Sir Jack Hayward bought the club in 1990, funding became available for the redevelopment of Molineux. Between 1991 and December 1993, the three remaining old stands were demolished and replaced with new ones. In May 2010, Wolves announced a £40 million redevelopment programme of Molineux. Under the plans, three stands would gradually get rebuilt and linked up, which would lead to a capacity of 38,000 seats. Works started in 2011 on the Stan Cullis Stand, which was completed in 2012. The next two stages, however, were postponed as the club stated to want to use the limited funds available for the development of the Wolves youth academy. fgnwnfnf8393nn==dkf888mmdf-33 Wolves tags for YouTube: Wolverhampton Wanderers Wolves Wolves FC Football History Molineux Football History Premier League FA Cup Old Football Grounds #wolvesfc #wolverhamptonwanderers Steve Bull Stan Cullis Billy Wright Nuno Fosun Ruben Nevez WWFC Robbie Keane Derek Dougan John Richards Wolverhampton Paul Ince Denis Irwin Matt Murray Carl Ikeme Kenny Miller Peter Broadbent Billy Harthill Johnny Hancocks Jimmy Murray 1950's Honved Dennis Westcott Derek Parkin Kenny Hibbett Ron Flowers Geoff Palmer League Cup Final 1974 League Cup Final 1980 Andy Gray
