So nothing much as changed.

Plenty has changed, Moby. As, back in the 60's/70's, I've been in crowds in excess of 40K at the Molineux, and on the 'big' match occasions, over 50k. The point being, you won't see the likes of that today, because you can't.
Yes, the more run of the mill games would be 30kish, but local derbies and Man U games would be much higher.

Jack Hayward did a marvellous job rebuilding the Mol, but it was a bit too small for a one-club city. Let's not forget the old South Bank alone could hold 10k plus.

If Nathan is really serious about automatic promotion, then a plan for rebuilding the Mol would be a shot in the arm for the club.

According to Nathan Shi and Fosun, the Molineux is being looked at for a rebuild. The problem is they're saying 3-5 years. The Steve Bull Stand is an abomination. It was refurbished more than 30 years ago, and it was already a cramped, cheap stand. Wolves wouldn't need a huge ground unless Fosun has huge plans for Wolves, and that is very unlikely.

If Wolves, long term, want to be able to compete with and be seen amongst the top 30 or 40 clubs, then the ground needs to be redeveloped to around 55,000 capacity, with proper corporate hospitality and the options to use the venue for non football related things as well.

After having the facilities, they then also need to be used wisely, of course.

We should all know money alone guarantees nothing in football, but it does make things easier if you have it.

Otherwise the club will fall further behind in generating revenue, including to local competitor clubs like Smallheath. You then move from not competing in the Premier League to potentially barely competing in the Championship.

I used to sit in the John Ireland Stand with my dad in 1980 when I was 12. It was finished the year before. It was bad then. Worse today. It is 47 years old and showing every year!
