One thing I have got to say Birmingham City's new ground will make ours look like a tin shed. I think we should get Manders paint as sponsors. We could probably get some free paint. It's the only way Wolves ground will be painted.

I think we did have Manders as a sponsor at one point.

Unfortunately for us, Birmingham's owner(s) is/are very ambitious & forward thinking. Also, unlike us, they are in direct discussions with the local council to build a new road network to & from the ground. Also, I believe the HS2 train will stop at their ground.
It's not instant, but it's a project & exciting for the blue noses. As a club, they are certainly no bigger than us & have nowhere near our club's rich history, but it just shows what can be achieved with owners who really want to take the club forward.

I'm loathe to say it, Black, but making it a stop for HS2 is an absolute masterstroke. London clubs make an absolute fortune by hovering up travelling tourists. They buy the excess tickets, they spend a fortune in the club shop, and on top of all that you now have new international fans.
With HS2, they can probs go to the game in about an hour each way, which isn't really much different for some London stadiums once you've got multiple tubes. I hadn't actually seen that, but I have to admit it is very clever business. Jez, I wish we had owners that could think like that. ?

Blues with their grand ideas, Villa, with their ideas of increasing Villa Park, hell, even the Baggies have a train station and tram stop situated very conveniently nearby. Come on Wolves, wake up and smell the coffee or we'll get left behind.

HS2 won't be finished for years. Literally years. The Curzon Street station will be near to St Andrews, but that's about it. Will HS2 be putting a stop in Small Heath?
Curzon Street's current progress in the equivalent of one huge stone that'll be part of the Great Pyramid of Khufu.
I was speaking to a HS2 engineer, in his 50s, who he told me by the time it's all finished he'll be retired.
People shouldn't underestimate the Chinese. They take their time, but they eventually overtake everyone.

A bit contradictory there Whataload, you claim others are demeaning to the club but then imply were are only small fry compared to our neighbours. What's the daily Mail reference all about?

Lordy lord we have some very precious flowers here! ? What about admiring what other clubs are doing means we aren't getting behind our team exactly? And yes Ice I understand the nature of large inferstructure but planning a head is precisely how clubs grow in the long term, I can understand why your confused by that as Fosun don't seem to do it at all!
It's hilarious to me Load that you get all self righteous with others fans discussing what other clubs in the area are doing and then finish it by saying 'we are little old Wolves' so stop having aspirations and get back in your boxes!
How dare you say fans on here are dragging our club down, I like many others on here have put thousands of pounds and hours into this club through season tickets, merchandise and support so to be frank you can jog on! Is that honestly all you can bring to the table, acting like a petulant child rather than engaging with the actual subject matter? Keep ya Daily Mail and try growing up a bit! ?

Nb- This was aimed at a comment from Whataload that has since been removed. Just wanted to clarify, Ice, buddy, as this isn't aimed at you. ?
