If they are doing this then maybe they will do the same with the Billy Wright and South Bank.
Have they done anything with that sign that sticks out above it?

Kind of puts the nail in the coffin as regards to the development of the Billy Wright stand first rumour. It they were planning it they wouldn't have finished that side off with bricks rather than breeze blocks and they would have knocked down the video wall and old club shop already.

Seems that we might sell Fletch after all. £12M for Fletch £3M For Kightly £1 Guidderria £500K Vokes. Can't see us spending all that on attracting big names to a Championship club so could go towards the Steve Bull Stand #Headsgone.

web cam must be turned off now. Nice of them to just take it offline without even putting a message up saying its stopped so I know not to keep checking it. At the very least do it as a tweet in that pretty much unused twitter feed they created.

It's probably broke again. They will fix it by October.

Sucks! I desparately need 10 more webcam stills! I really hope it's just some glitch at siteeyelive.com and the cam will come back on, at least just for a day so I can grab some more stills. I really wanted some where all the advertising boards were up and the fans were sat in the truly finished stand (i.e. the Barnsley game), so I'm seriously hoping it's not off for good, now.

Wolves have unveiled four iconic banners, which have been erected across the Billy Wright Stand, facing Waterloo Road.

An additional banner will be revealed outside the new Stan Cullis Stand at 12:30pm on Saturday 11th August 2012, as part of the official opening celebrations for the new Stand.

A nice touch but I would have preferred bigger images with no writing. #justsaying

New signage on every stand but the Steve Bull, all but confirms the rumours we heard last week could be true, hope so

I was collecting post today from Molineux.

There is a nice old bloke who sits in the BW foyer, he was talking to someone,....it was Mr Morgan himself!, but he went just as i realised who he was so i asked the old bloke if they are still doing the SB the season after next, his reply "they're not sure"

I always thought they should do a similar thing under the subway and get rid of the dull graffiti covered walls. Fit some new lighting under their and decorate the walls with images of player and past successes. Maybe hire a local graffiti artist to do it. Wouldn't cost much and would add to the buzz of walking to the ground. Its probably because that one of the part the council owns.

Great idea for the subway, but would probably be an easy target for vandals

Had an email from WWFC this morning reference the Aldershot game and the new stand.
Officially being opened tomorrow by Steve Morgan before the game.
Got tickets in the upper tier so looking forward to that.

See below for part of the email:-

Our first competitive match under Ståle Solbakken is here! Wolves take on Aldershot Town in round one of the Capital One Cup.

Just the Billy Wright and Stan Cullis Stands are open to home fans for this fixture and this is the first match that the Stan Cullis Stand will be fully open since the re development. If your seat is in the Stan Cullis please arrive early so that stewards and staff can direct you around the stand to the facilities and your seats.

The stand will be officially opened by Steve Morgan at 12.30pm with a ceremony outside the Stand which fans are welcome to attend. The brand new Megastore in the Stan Cullis will be open from 9am for fans wanting to take a look round at the new store and also the new stock for the season. Don't forget season ticket holders, My Wolves and Young Wolves members will earn 10% Merchandise Cash on all of their Official Wolves Merchandise purchases.

The brand new North Bank Bar will also be open from 11am, the Bar will normally be open to season ticket holders but for this match will be open on a first come first served basis to all home matchday attendees.

Row U seats 41-43, the seats look like they are at the top of the letter 'W'.

I thought the 3rd guess & stir photo looks a bit like a works canteen. Flimsy tables and cheep chairs. I assume that was the WV1 bar rather than the restaurant?
