Away fans are normally housed on one side of the upper tier of the new Stan Cullis Stand, where around 1,500 fans can be accommodated. For games where there is a larger away following, then the away fans are not given an 'end' as such, but are instead housed in the lower tier of the Steve Bull Stand along the side of the pitch. Up to 3,200 away supporters can be housed in this area. Fans in this stand are sat quite far back from the playing area, which gives the illusion that the pitch is larger than at most other grounds. David London a visiting Crystal Palace fan adds; 'Views are excellent from the front of the Stan Cullis Stand away section, although if you are at the top then it's all a bit distant. It's a lot of steps up to the upper tier and when you get to the top puffing and blowing a friendly stward tells you that you should have asked to use the lift!'
The facilities are fine, including the catering, serving a range of pies including; Steak, Rogan Josh, Potato & Meat, Vegetable, Cheese & Onion (all £3), Cornish Pasty (£3), Sausage Rolls (£3) Hot Dogs (£3.50), 1/4 pound Burgers Or Cheeseburgers (£3.50), Chicken Burgers (£4.50), Baked Potatoes (£3), Chicken Wraps (£3) and Chips (£2.50).
Musical delights at the ground include just before kick off, 'Hi, Ho, Silver Lining' with the crowd singing 'Hi, Ho, Wolverhampton!' On one visit I got talking to a couple of Wolves fans on the train up to Wolverhampton and they suggested going for a drink in the city centre before the game which I did. I had quite an enjoyable time and they even took me right up to the away supporters entrance, shook my hand and wished me luck! very hospitable. I personally did not experience any problems on my visits, but I have received a number of reports of others that have not been so lucky. It is strongly advised that colours are kept covered around the ground and city centre (and that goes for your cars too).

If they have split us between the two then that is ridiculous. They are the opposite side of the ground!

Seriously! I purchased 1 Wolves ticket and 2 Brizzel tickets, but only one Brizzel ticket was in there. Not happy. |

Not quite. It's the Billy Wright Stand that's opposite the Steve Bull. The Stan Cullis is the new one behind the goal (opposite end to the home end). But I agree it makes no sense at all to split us, if that's what they've done. |

Well, I didn't mean literally. I'm pretty sure the away fans section behind the goal is right in the top hand corner as well, even further away. |

Sorry! I hadn't meant to be a 'smart arse'. Yes, ridiculous if they have split us. |

The Steve Bull stand looks like a shit stand for away fans, with them all being spread out over a large distance, we will make even less noise than normal.
