Rivalries

Songs
Before each game and after each goal, you’ll hear a song you’ll recognize, even if you don’t know the name. It’s “Hi Ho Silver Lining” by Jeff Beck. There’s a moment when Beck sings, “Hi ho silver lining!” But that’s when the music stops and the whole crowd raises their arms and yells, “Hi ho Wolverhampton!” Sheffield Wednesday does this as well,…

Stadium
Molineux is a 31,700-seater that somehow seems bigger. It is also, like the team’s kits, of a striking color.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Tickets
With demand so high—they sell out every home game—what they do for foreigners is have you buy a membership, then for each game they hold a lottery of foreign members.

If they have this arrangement again, your best bet will be a cup game or a midweek game against a smaller opponent.
