Football trips to Wolverhampton - Search tickets and package trips!

For the authentic Wolves match experience, try to secure tickets in the Sir Jack Hayward Stand (South Bank), which is home to the most vocal supporters. Arrive early to join in with the pre-match songs and chants. Many fans gather at The Hogshead pub before making their way to the stadium about 30 minutes before kick-off. Wearing Wolves colors will help you blend in, and don't be shy about joining in with traditional chants like "Hi Ho Wolverhampton" when they start. The South Bank creates an incredible wall of noise, especially during big matches or local derbies.

One of the most notable traditions is the playing of "The Liquidator" by Harry J Allstars before kick-off, during which fans perform a specific clapping routine. The club mascot, Wolfie, interacts with fans before the match and at half-time. Many supporters also gather at the Stan Cullis statue outside the stadium for photos. After goals, listen out for "Hi Ho Silver Lining" with fans changing the lyrics to "Hi Ho Wolverhampton." Some locals also follow the tradition of eating a "bostin fittle" (good food in Black Country dialect), typically a meat and potato pie, before the match at one of the food stalls around Molineux.

It's recommended to arrive at Molineux at least 90 minutes before kick-off, especially for your first visit. This allows time to soak up the pre-match atmosphere, find your seat, and potentially visit the Wolves Museum or club shop. Security checks can take time, particularly for high-profile matches. If you want to experience the local pub culture beforehand, arrive in Wolverhampton 3-4 hours before the match and visit pubs like The Hogshead or The Bluebrick, which fill up with supporters. The stadium turnstiles typically open 90 minutes before kick-off, with the team warm-ups starting about 30-45 minutes before the game begins.

Molineux Ground is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from Wolverhampton city center and the train station. From the station, head north on Lichfield Street, then turn left onto Wulfruna Street and continue onto Molineux Street. The stadium will be visible on your right. This route takes you past several pre-match pubs popular with home fans. For those staying further away, local buses (routes 3, 4, 5, and 5A) stop near the stadium. Taxis are readily available but traffic can be heavy on match days. If driving, be aware that parking near the stadium is limited, with the best option being the city center car parks about 10-15 minutes' walk away.

Molineux offers several hospitality options that can enhance your match day experience. The WV1 Restaurant provides a three-course meal and premium seating in the Billy Wright Stand. The Hayward Suite offers a more casual buffet dining experience with seats in the Sir Jack Hayward Stand. For something truly special, the Chairman's Suite provides the most exclusive experience with fine dining and the best seats in the house. Some travel agencies can arrange these hospitality packages as part of your football trip. These options often include stadium tours, meeting former players, and premium food and drink. Prices vary significantly depending on the opposition and the level of hospitality chosen.
