Si Señor

Raúl Jiménez and Mexico have won through to the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup final on Sunday versus USA. The match will be televised on Monday at noon on FREESPORTSHD (channel 553 on VirginMedia 422 on Sky). Raúl needs one more goal to move to the golden boot position, and not forgetting his many assists. Sports Illustrated has Mexico as the favourites for the match at Soldier Field "Paced by an attack led by Wolverhampton Wanderers star Raúl Jiménez (five goals) and LA Galaxy loanee Uriel Antuna (four), Mexico will be favored in front of a sold-out, partisan crowd."

And don't forget our next two events

This month: The Naked Ladies of Twickenham Saturday June 29th last drink before setting off 11:30. Breakfasts earlier!

Naked Ladies of Twickenham a Geoff Castro special walking tour of the Metropolis. Geoff has announced London Wolves Walk: Saturday 29th June 2019. writing:

A Twickenham Trek featuring a number of naked ladies*

Yes, its that time of year again when the London Wolves take in some culture ........ washed down with copious amounts of alcohol!

This year it is the turn of Twickenham to entertain the hoards of followers who normally attend the famous London Wolves walks. Home of England rugby, numerous poets and artists, the footballer of Loos, Eel Pie Island (a former famous rock venue), the inventor of the clockwork radio and, of course, those famous naked ladies, Twickenham is well worth a visit. Wonder at the beauty of Strawberry Hill House - an 18th century gothic castle - and Marble Hill House and gardens (built for Henrietta Howard the mistress of George the second) before moving swiftly onto the next pub!

So, if you have been tantalised or at all tempted by the delights of Twickenham, grab your sun cream and mankini/bikini - I know I will be bringing mine (the sun cream that is) - and head down to "The William Webb Ellis" Wetherspoons pub at 24 London Road Twickenham TW1 3RR for an 11-30 start (last ceremonial beer, finish breakfast, girding loins...) on Saturday 29th June. The WWE is just 6 minutes walk from the mainline Station (turn left, past Waitrose, and the pub is what suspiciously looks like a bank)

Twickenham can be reached by frequent trains from Waterloo, Reading, Windsor or Farnham or by District Line/North London line to Richmond and a short mainline hop to Twickers. Fortunately Geoff seems to have avoided the RMT industrial action threatened for Ascot Week.

Fan's Parliament Thursday 24th January 2019

Slightly more sensible and responsible than the clowns in SW1 0AA, although meeting after the "meaningful vote" is (supposed to be) held, it will soon be the next convening of the Wolves Fans' Parliament. As you know Peter Abbott is our (elected) representative and is keen to represent your views. If you have any questions or observations you would like fed to the meeting please either contact Peter (abbswolf@londonwolves.com) or via Twitter direct to the Parliament at @fansparliament by January 17th latest.

The famous 10th annual "Roy Eagles London Wolves Christmas lunch" Saturday December 15th

A return to The Grain Store, King Street produced another Roy special. My thanks to Mark Feehan, Lynne Moores and Steve Carvell for the pictures - these are on the Facebook page and on the website at https://www.londonwolves.com/xmas18.html Their pictures are in galleries - select a picture form the sidebar to enlarge. If you press the button on the control bar at the top of each gallery the pictures will cycle through.

Thanks from all who attended to Roy and our guests - former players from the 80s Neil Edwards, Jon Purdie and Micky Holmes, and Jason Guy, who amongst many activities sponsors Wolves Allstars shirts as well as helping the FPA. Jason thanked Roy, Carol and WWLSC as we raised £180 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer (who also tweeted thanks) in memory of Jason's wife Lucy (legacy4lucy.co.uk)

Another special guest at the lunch was a good friend to the Doog (pseudonym DD2) - Dave Dungar who has written a book entitled "Cometh Light - Wolves & Wolverhampton 1888-1939". Here is Dave with his book.

Dave's book (Cometh Light - Wolves & Wolverhampton 1888-1939) is now available so until Wolves take some stock in January it is only available from him and he’ll send direct on receipt of payment from anyone interested.

The book will retail at £25.00 but anyone from London Wolves can have a copy for £22.50, plus free P&P. He hopes that might be of interest to you. To order please contact Dave at David Dungar <david.dungar@nexus-contract.com>. He says "anyone paying by BACS can let me know as soon as they have made the payment, then I can get the book posted more quickly as my firm’s admin department is running the payment side. It is also be an opportunity to get the book pre-launch." Payment details : On line - Nat West Sort code 56-00-69 account 38333333 Nexus Contract Services Ltd or Cheques to Nexus Contract Services Ltd and send to Nexus Contract Services Ltd, Museum Rooms, 14 Rudge Road, Pattingham, Nr Wolverhampton, South Staffs, WV6 7BT or cash to Dave.

Dave is making arrangements for LW representation at the launch in the Wolves Museum on the evening of the 3rd Round Cup tie against Liverpool. Details to follow

Christmas Present time - More books - Golden Balls, The Pack is Back and more.

Clive Corbett has just announced that the new book on Wolves' Hat Trick Heroes is out in time for Christmas. To order contact Clive at

Some details - 'Golden Balls', the story of Wolves’ hat-trick heroes, is a hardback publication of over 400 pages plus 32 of illustrations. It retails at £20, and for every copy sold of this book, £1 will be donated to the Carl Ikeme Cure Leukaemia Fund. Wolverhampton Wanderers are a club steeped in history and innumerable books have been written on seemingly every aspect of their existence. However, until now there has been nothing on those men who have scored three or more times in a match in the gold and black kit. At the time of going to press there have been 190 Wolves hat-tricks, scored by 86 Wolves players and the three men of ADO Den Haag who scored an own goal hat-trick for Wolves in the UEFA Cup in 1971. Although this is the definitive book on Wolves hat-tricks from 1886 to present day, it is very much hoped that it will very soon need to be updated. When this is the case it will be mean that the glory days of top flight success are surely on their way back to Molineux. (Ed. No doubt an update will be needed very soon!)

Also supporting charity - in this case all proceeds going to Birmingham Children's Hospital - the outstanding "The Pack is Back" by Steve Plant and you the fans still has a few copies left in the Wolves shop. £25. (It is a limited edition book). There are several great books in the Wolves shop - including Kenny Hibbitt's "Seasons of my life" and We are Wolves. You can spend your season ticket merchandise cash there or on line.

Finally - billed by our guest traveller from Euston, Sky's Johnny Phillips, as a stocking filler or Secret Santa (?should it be Santo) gift - only £9.99 from Amazon Books

* Peter Woodifield's travel arrangements (note Paddington, Waterloo, Euston closed for Boxing Day)

Yes, folks, by popular demand the famous 10th annual "Roy Eagles London Wolves Christmas lunch" is now set up for Saturday December 15th opening at 12:00 for 12:30/1pm with Allstar guests

Also by popular member demand, we leave the away pub and return to the City Bar or, as many of you who supported the Kenny Hibbitt signing know, it is now known as The Grain Store, King Street, Wolverhampton, WV1 1SX, just around the corner from Queen's Square. Roy has arranged exclusive access to the upper floors and bar with a special hot and cold buffet with a dessert. While he's not promising any cherries on the cake (that will be delivered at Molineux between 3pm and 4:55pm) it should be another great event worthy of the tradition, and where we will again welcome our friends to join us. The price has been cut down to £15 per head, payable in advance to Roy or Dave no later than the Chelsea match (Wednesday 5th December). There will be a welcome drink (bubbly or juice) but the bar will not be free for alcoholic or other beverages. Please avail yourself of the ground floor bar on the way in or the first floor bar at any time during the event. The top floor will also be open if needed, and there are facilities on the first floor. A ticket will be required for entry. The Grain Store normally opens at 11:30am on Saturdays.

As a further treat, Roy can arrange for us to return to the Grain Store after the match for a musical interlude. If anyone needs hotel accommodation, the Grain Store has access to hotel discounts - please let Roy know and he will pass your name on to Kelly at the GS who can help with arrangements also, if you are interested in a social evening. You are welcome to drop back into the Grain Store after the match as the Euston train doesn't leave until 6:45pm. If you are thinking of staying over then Peter Woodifield can also arrange a two day trip so please let him/Dave know when booking as this will also need to be arranged. Please note that the train from Euston now leaves at 08:43am. (The Liverpool train has also changed.) - contact Dave or Roy at social@LondonWolves.com

And, as an extra special treat, Roy has arranged a souvenir 3pm kick off for all traditionalists. Not only that, Roy's guests include trophy winning current members of Wolves Allstars, a contemporary of Tony Adams and a player valued at £1million by Sammy Chung.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Under 23s are at Oxford United’s under 23s next Monday evening(3rd December 7pm) in the Premier League Cup. (from Peter Abbott)

Chris Allen’s young U's side beat Swansea City in their last home game in the competition before pushing Hull City all the way away from home, and now take on Wolves at Thame United’s ASM Stadium on Monday 3rd December, with kick off at 7pm.

It’s a chance to see some very talented young players in action on both sides and there is always a warm welcome at Thame so come along and enjoy some live football as the U’s take on the Wolves.

Match is at Meadow View Park, Tythrop Way, Thame OX9 3RN - Junction 7 (or 8A off the M40 on the Aylesbury Road) - or Sapphire 280 bus to and from Haddesdon & Thame Parkway (2 miles) on the Chlitern line from Paddington.

Christmas Present time - Golden Balls, The Pack is Back and more.

Clive Corbett has just announced that the new book on Wolves' Hat Trick Heroes is out in time for Christmas. To order contact Clive at

Wolves Women - through in the Cup

The ladies won 6-1 midweek against Kidderminster Harriers, with a significant number of former Wolves Women now playing for Kiddy, including Amber Quick, Claire Hakeman and former manager James Astle. Pictures on Funky SI's facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.492373704504281&type=1&l=821ef4b4da and highlights here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.492373704504281&type=1&l=821ef4b4da Meanwhile, the development team, whom we also sponsor, go striding on.

Congratulations Mick

The Irish FA announced that, following Martin O'Neill's resignation Mick McCarthy (with Terry Connor) would be taking over for the next two years. Added to his coaching team is the best Keano ever to play for Ireland - Robbie, of course, not Roy. Mick was always very generous with his time (and money) for us so we wish him every success. Perhaps Robbie can give the Doc some goal scoring hints (and improve his goal celebrations).

Fare TBA

Sat 6/10/18 v Crystal Palace (A) 3pm ko No Club trip

The nearest railway stations are Selhurst, Thornton Heath or Norwood Junction, from Victoria. Last two also from London Bridge. (approx 30 mins). 10-15 minute walk to Selhurst Park.

Sat 27/10/18 v Brighton (A) 3pm ko No Club trip

The nearest railway station is Falmer, which is situated right by the stadium. The quickest and easiest way to get to the stadium is by train. Falmer station is adjacent to the ground. It's three stops from Brighton Central station on the line to Lewes and Seaford. Alternatively, you can avoid Brighton completely by getting a train to Lewes and changing there for Falmer. There are four trains an hour in either direction. Brighton Central Station is over four miles away from the stadium. Bus No 25 from Cardinal Square stop G is every 12 mins(also Buses 28 & 29 (20 mins)). To return the No 25 leaves from the stadium via a stop through the coach park, near to the away fans entrance. There is often heavy congestion at Brighton Station in the hour leading up to kick off, so don't leave it too late. Public transport within a geographical zone is free as it is included within the price of the match ticket. Valid on both buses and trains, the zone extends as far north as Haywards Heath station and east to Lewes. Anyone travelling from London only needs to buy a train ticket to Haywards Heath.

Warning: Travel warning for Brighton away (Sat 27th October). Trains between Three Bridges and Brighton/Lewes will be replaced by buses. Allow plenty of time, hopefully the delays won't be 4 hours like earlier in the summer! Southern says "Customers travelling direct between London Victoria and Brighton are advised to use direct trains between London Victoria and Brighton via and calling at Horsham, Littlehampton, Angmering, Worthing, Shoreham-by-Sea and Hove. Journey times will be around 2 hours and 15 minutes." Just to add to it, the M23 between the M25 and Gatwick is on a long programme of "smart motorway" with 50mph limit

Sun 10/11/18 v Arsenal (A) (kick off 4:30pm) No Club trip

The nearest London Underground station to the Emirates Stadium is Holloway Road on the Piccadilly line. It is only a few minutes walk to the stadium. The station is, however, closed after matches. On exiting the station turn right, cross over the road and then turn left for the stadium. Alternatively, it maybe better to alight at Arsenal station, which is the next stop. Again it is only a few minutes walk from here to the stadium. On exiting the station turn right and follow Drayton Park Road around to the left. Then take one of the large bridges over the railway line to the stadium. Other tube stations in walking distance of the stadium are Finsbury Park on the Piccadilly Line and Highbury & Islington on the Victoria Line. Also, main line trains depart from Kings Cross to Finsbury Park. It is then about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the stadium. Drayton Park Station which is situated right by the stadium is closed at weekends.

Congratulations again to Wolves Women - again - now through to the next round of the cup and on a three match winning run (plus great pre-seasons) here is a link to the official photographer Simon Faulkner's pictures https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.464236720651313&type=1&l=08749749a6.

We are delighted to continue our sponsorship

Club Captain Danny Batth

Our best wishes to Club Captain Danny Batth his partner Natalie Cutler as he joins Pulis' Middlesborough on loan for the season - looking good for another Championship winner's medal. There is no buy option in the loan. Film producer and actor Natalie has also been starring in her one woman show in the Edinburgh Fringe, and says she's excited by the new challenges in "North of the Wall". Danny has always been a true gent whenever we've met him and as an academy graduate and local lad (from Brierley Hill, you will recall) has served the Club wholeheartedly.

International Wolves:

Remember the days when an International break meant just that - this time nine of Nuno's squad are away: Matt Doherty and Leander Dendoncker could feature in the new-look competition as two of the six Wolves players joining senior set-ups this week. Rui Patricio and Ruben Neves join up with Portugal, while Raul Jimenez will link up with Mexico and Romain Saiss with Morocco. Diogo Jota is with Portugal under-21s and Ruben Vinagre is an age lower with the under-20s, while Morgan Gibbs-White will hope to feature for England under-19s. Doherty’s Republic of Ireland face Wales in the Nations League on Thursday before taking on Poland in a friendly on Tuesday. Summer signing Dendoncker is also competing in the Nationals League, meeting Iceland on Tuesday, after a friendly with Scotland on Friday. Earning a Portugal recall is Neves and he will hope to impress in friendlies against Croatia (Thursday) and Italy (Monday) alongside Patricio. Jimenez will head to America to take on Uruguay in Houston and the USA in Tennessee either side of the weekend. On Saturday Saiss will face Malawi in a Continental Qualifying Match with Morocco. Jota and Portugal’s under-20s face UEFA Under-21 Championship matches against Romania (Friday) and Wales (Tuesday). Meanwhile, Vinagre and the under-20s are in friendly action against the Netherlands on Friday and Czech Republic the following Tuesday. Morgan Gibbs-White is also in friendly action with England’s under-19s, facing Netherlands (Wednesday) and Belgium. Finally, young midfielder Elliot Watt, fresh from making his Wolves debut, is in the Scotland Under-19 squad for two matches in Poland either side of the weekends Some of these matches are televised.

Ernie Hunt

It was with great sadness that we learned that Ernie had passed away in a home two weeks ago. Ernie, (or Roger, but there was another one) played in our first official match versus Plymouth in 1966 scoring the winner ("after Shearing had failed to hold a Terry Wharton whizz bang") and indeed also scored in the first match I saw at Molineux the season before against The Saints. Ernie and, of course another Wolves favourite, Willie Carr featured in the first ever "Goal of the Season" for their donkey kick at Coventry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FxSKczJprI We enjoyed Ernie's presence and humour at the 40th anniversary dinner at The Valley, and if you haven't read his book "Joker in the Pack" it's well worth a read. Ernie's funeral is next Wednesday 11th July at 1pm at the Coney Hill Crematorium near Gloucester. Mark Griffiths and his uncle who was friends with Ernie, Terry, and other players of that era will be going seen here with Pint Sized Paul and Hughie McIlmoyle

TV personalities wanted

Last time we advertised this opportunity we had one quizzer volunteer - just four more needed - any one interested? Rehearsals start next week. "I am contacting you from Hat Trick Productions, a television production company based in London. We are currently making a new football quiz show for ITV in which five football fans compete against teams from other clubs. We are on the hunt for some fantastic footie fans to take part and were hoping you might be able to help us spread the word. We are looking for fans of all different ages and backgrounds with a passion for football and a great knowledge of the beautiful game to make up teams of 5 and go head to head against each other in this exciting new football quiz show!" Please reply to me if you are interested and we'll see if we can get a team together.

The Walk - pictures London Wolves annual walk - The World Cup Walk by Geoff Castro

So, the French finally won at (the) Trafalgar (actually it was drawing at half time and we had to get to the Sultan for the final 4-2). Another excellent itinerary with great light cool and airy and not full pubs - thanks Geoff, who adjusted the programme for World Cup matches, reduced walking distances (helping the less perambulatory), slower pace (only 8km per hour for Geoff), and keeping 29 unruly participants together in Wandsworth and Tooting. More pictures on the facebook page or at http://www.londonwolves.com/walk18.html

Thanks to Darch for bringing the Nuno flag all the way from Plymouth while Charlie missed his first ever since being born, so we hope he enjoyed his barbeque.

London Wolves Football quizzers on TV "Football Genius"

We have been asked whether we would like to field a team on a brand new TV show which Hat Trick productions (of HIGNFY & Room 101 fame) are recording next month in London for ITV. We'd need a team of 5 (?5 + reserve perhaps) to challenge supporters of another club. I'm happy to collect volunteer names, especially for a team captain, to see if we can participate. We know there are many skilled quizzers in the club (abbswolf, Stan, Mark, Rob, ......) and it's a chance to follow Mark's lead on Eggheads.

Please reply to this email as soon as you can if you are interested.

Yes, it's a Geoff Castro special and through careful diary planning Geoff has arranged to avoid a clash with Ingerland matches and writes

Join "Citizen Castro" on a South London Stroll taking in the favourite pubs frequented by Wolfie (not the mascot) and the "Tooting Popular Front". On this safari across the plains of Tooting, Clapham and Wandsworth, there will be plenty of opportunity to experience the"Antelope", the "Falcon" and even an "Eagle" and so take the bull "By the Horns" and come along.

Meet at J.J. Moons, 56A Tooting High Street (opposite Tooting Broadway Underground Station on the Northern Line) at11-30 for a 12 noon start (or earlier for breakfast!). Hope to see you there ...... and do not forget - "Freedom For Tooting"! Apologies if you are too young to remember!

(here https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/997458909295243264) who play their last match of the season at Forest - at the Lee Westwood Sports Centre, Nottingham Trent University, Clifton Lane, Nottingham, NG11 8NS. Forest are just 5 points ahead and a win for WWWFC could see them leapfrog Guiseley and West Brom. Good luck ladies, we are pleased to have sponsored you and Anna for the season again.

Wolves Allstars

Meanwhile Jody Craddock captained the Allstars to open Dudley Town's new pitches as the Allstars continue with their fundraising. Story at https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/dudley/2018/05/12/match-marks-opening-of-644000-dudley-football-pitch/

Elephant and Castle

No, not that one - the one on the Stafford Road and Ring Road, which was demolished in 2001. The Black Country Living Museum are planning to recreate the pub and has put out an appeal for any memories particularly from the post-war period. So, if you drank in there on the way to/from Molineux and have memories of the pub from the 60s you can contact the museum on collections@bclm.com or by calling on 0121 557 9643.

Low level station access

well, not really but the route via the "Subway", including that to the Bluebrick, is changing from the station from this weekend until summer 2019

Here's the article and new map. Molineux is further round the A4150 Ring Road top left.

Express & Star/ Champions Parade

The map was from the Star last week. They have reinstated their simple syndication service, so our website in the top section of the homepage (desktop and mobile) will now again carry the Star's Wolves feeds, with frequently updated links to Tim Spiers' and Nathan Judah's articles.

As you can imagine they were busy last week with the Premier League promotion celebrations and published a special - a copy of which is attached. The advertising on the Routemaster has helped fuel speculation that the shirts next season will show Tsing Tao (pronounced Ching Dow) a beer owned by Fosun, or even Club Med.

Just a reminder that the England games are England v Tunisia 18th June @ 7pm BST; England v Panama 24th June @ 1pm BST and England v Belgium 28th June @ 7pm BST

"MPs grilled the sports minister Tracey Crouch about standing and all-seater legislation on Thursday 10th, but the Government insists its position will not change in the short-term. "That is not to say that we are not looking at ways in which we can accommodate those who do wish to stand," Crouch told Parliament. "But we do not have any plans at this moment to change the legislation.”" (FSF) MPs will have another opportunity to debate standing next month on 25th June - you can watch this on the Parliament channel. Crouch's tone during the 10th questions seemed very much one of kicking it into the long grass.

Anna Price and Amber Quick honoured at Molineux

Many congratulations to Anna and Amber who were honoured at Molineux on Saturday after opening the new Women's section in the Wolves museum. Both have been at the Club since they were nine!

Team Nigeria Fundraising for Carl Ikeme

Mark Feehan was asked to represent Wolves at the Nigeria UK Fundraising event in Stratford to support the Super Eagles and Wolves #1 Carl Ikeme - which was in the Leeds programme. Also present was one-time Wolves top-scorer Seyi Olofinjana.

-- Here's Dangerous Dave 1

-- and Dangerous Dave 2 on his new book written with Paul Berry at Molineux, and, on Saturday he was promising to beat Cardiff tonight to do us a favour. A 95th minute near assist from Dave hit the post but the Royals held Cardiff to a draw.

Fulham (away) - A river cruise

In the meantime, member Mark Griffiths who runs On The Ball Travel has arranged to invade Craven Cottage by boat and Roy has arranged for London Wolves members to join the cruise. The boat will depart the Festival Pier for a 3 hour cruise upstream to Putney Bridge. On board will be a DJ, oh and, of course, a bar! Mark has agreed a special price of £15 for London Wolves members only. Booking must be made through Roy and is strictly payment in advance. There will be a refund if the trip is cancelled because of a Sky move. As usual, first come first served until the boat reaches capacity (and Mark is taking direct bookings for Midlanders as well) The boat is the one in the foreground, not HMS Belfast.

Timings:

11.15am – Board Boat (Festival Pier*) For A 11.30am Departure

14.15pm Dock At Putney Bridge To Disembark And Walk To Craven Cottage

If you are Wolverhampton/Midlands based you can travel from there by booking directly with Mark for £38 at http://www.ontheballtravel.com/fulham-v-wolves-party-boat/ . The coach will leave Wolverhampton at around 7:30am, and will leave directly from Craven Cottage after the match.

(* Festival Pier is near the Festival Hall (don't confuse it with the London Eye pier - it is nearer Waterloo Bridge - 6-7 minutes walk from Waterloo)

Carl Ikeme

Since the announcement that Carl is suffering from Leukaemia, many have rallied round to support him and the @cureluekaemia charity.

Live coverage by Wolves TV

The away friendly versus FC Viktoria Plzen (2:1 to Wolves) was broadcast on Wolves TV without commentary. Tuesday's match against will also be streamed for free as part of the new Wolves TV offering testing. Kick off is 5pm - go to the wolves.co.uk homepage at about 16:50 for the link. More details here https://www.wolves.co.uk/…/2017713-free-live-streams-for-w…/. The UK PSFs will also be streamed - Shrews and Posh will cost though - an extortionate £7 for two PSFs! Leicester will be streamed but NOT to UK for £5. Wolves are planning to offer such a service on League matches but not within the UK - all off to Malta then.... Highlights of the Plzen match are now available on the Wolves site, so, if you didn't join Mark G's charabanc tour it's a chance to catch up. https://youtu.be/d185pcrscNs

At the same time the EFL have announced iFollow for overseas fans - 46 matches will be streamed (excluding Sky matches) for approx £110 per season, while for UK fans, the audio streams and highlights will be available for £45 per season. However Accrington Stanley, Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Brighton and Hove Albion, Bristol City, Charlton Athletic, Derby County, Fulham, Leeds United, Leyton Orient, Newcastle United, QPR and Wolverhampton Wanderers have not joined this service and you'll have to wait for WWFC charges to be announced. Rumours were that the fee for the PSFs was to be £20, so, extrapolating, the tv service might cost as much as a season ticket! But, if it's as good as the BT Sport tv app, with HD coverage and instant replays of key incidents....

Moves

Good luck to the Stears who is now a Blade, Dom Iorfa on loan at Peter Abbott's local club, and Jon Dadi who has gone Royal, while George Elokobi has joined the Orient's rebuilding programme.

EFL Championship 2017-18 Fixtures

Sky Sports have not included Wolves in the first batch of televised matches (through to the Millwall weekend), although I suspect the (already moved) Villa match may be a likely candidate in October, if both teams are near the top or bottom.

Minutes of 2016 AGM

Meeting held at the Paternoster, 2-4 Paternoster Square, London, EC4M 7DZ on Saturday 3 September 2016

1. Apologies for absence:

Apologies for absence were received from P Abbott, D Pearl, L Mastebraker, S Armett, K Riordan, G Blake, A Allsop, J Engleman and J Leonard.

2. Chairman's address:

Stuart thanked the committee for the effort put in during the year and for organising the 50th anniversary dinner/dance. Stuart said that the club had had a very successful year culminating in the anniversary with events at Molineux and Charlton. He congratulated Roy Eagles, Dave Slape and Morris Jacobs for their fundraising efforts.

3. Matters arising from 2015 AGM:

Dave Slape asked about the latest position with xpro. Stuart said that another letter had been received from the solicitors approximately 3 months ago but had been incorrectly addressed. Nothing further had been heard since. Approval of the minutes was proposed by Roy Eagles and seconded by Dave Slape.

4. Secretary’s report:

Dave Slape reported that the membership stood at 209 at the end of last season (15/16). Subs paid up to 31/7/16 were £2,721 and the Golden Gate up to the same date had brought in £636. The secretary’s expenses were £1,189.82. Dave Slape said he would like to thank Peter Woodifield, Stuart Earl, Peter Bartlett, Roy Eagles, Steve Ray and Morris Jacobs.

A vote of thanks was given to Dave Slape for all his work over the last year.

5. Treasurer’s Report:

Carol reported that she is still looking for a high interest account but this is proving difficult.

Peter Bartlett enquired as to the entry for DVD on the accounts and Carol informed the meeting that this relates to a payment in respect of xpro.

Phil O’Connor asked why the Club needed to have £6,000 on deposit and appeared to be making a profit each year. Carol responded that we needed a buffer for large expenditure such as the season tickets or match tickets which have to be paid in advance. After some discussion on the point Roy Eagles proposed that the balances be monitored by the Treasurer and it be reviewed next year. This was proposed by Geoff Castro and seconded by Peter Bartlett.

6. Travel Secretary’s report:

Peter reported that we ran trips to all 26 home games and 15 away games. He thanked Morris Jacobs who provided transport to a number of midweek games. The highest attended trips were:

Home – Brighton (34) and Ipswich (30)

Away – Ipswich (26) and Nottingham Forest (17)

There was a slight increase in the average number travelling to home games but a slight decrease for the away games.

Fare prices varied throughout the year because we have to compete with other travellers in order to get the cheapest fares. The fare for home games varied between £16-£25. Train companies demand immediate payment once the tickets are booked.

We have renewed 6 club season tickets for the 2016/17 season on the early bird scheme and members also purchased 12 away season tickets.

Peter thanked the Wolves ticket office, particularly Dave Wood, in meeting our requests for match tickets last season and thanked Dave Slape for his help during the season and Geoff Castro for booking accommodation on some of the evening away games.

7. Social Secretary’s report

Roy reported that it had been difficult to organise events because of fixtures being changed for Sky. The Christmas event was cancelled because the match was switched . An event was held in November at which Mike Bailey attended which proved very successful as was the end of season meal and trip to Monmore.

Stuart will go to view a possible venue for this year’s Christmas event. Roy is also looking as an event on 22 October to coincide with the 50th Anniversary . A pre-match meal at WV1 and possibly an evening event is the plan.

8. Newsletter Editor’s report:

Steve said that the newsletter is currently with the printer and it should be out in the next couple of weeks. He asked if any of the members had any articles that they could submit, these would be gratefully received.

9. Website Editor’s report:

It was reported that we now have 2600 followers on twitter.

10. 50th Anniversary Dinner:

Feedback for the event had been good to very good. There were a couple of hitches with the hotel over room bookings but these were resolved. Initially we had invited 31 guests but we were very unlucky with the responses and a number failed to respond. The response to the guests who did attend was very positive, particularly Kenny Jackett. The final attendance figure for the event was 160.

11. Election of Officers:

After some discussion it was approved by a majority to keep the committee at 11. Of the committee members 10 were willing to stand for re-election and Leo was standing down. The 10 existing committee members were duly re-elected.

Following the resignation of Leo there was one vacancy on the committee. Dave Slape said that he had received requests to stand for the committee from Peter Abbott and Phil O’Connor. Both were proposed and seconded and the proposal was put to the room.

After a majority vote Peter Abbott was voted on to the committee to replace Leo.

12. Membership Fees:

Geoff Castro suggested that the membership fee remains the same for the coming season. This was approved by a majority vote.

13. Any other business:

Peter Abbott has been asked to stand as London Wolves representative for the Wolves Fan Parliament. This was agreed by the meeting.

Peter Bartlett raised the issue of sponsorship of Wolves Women and it was agreed that the club would continue their sponsorship for the fee of £500.

The WWLSC official 50th anniversary coincides with the Leeds match on 22 October. Tim Spiers of the Express and Star has offered to prepare an article about WWLSC for the paper.

The committee is to look at amending the rules so that the website editor is included as a full committee member.

The meeting was closed at 15:15.

Fundraising for Colin Brazier

Our friend Jason Guy tells us "Colin Brazier former Wolves and 1980 League cup winner sadly had his van and tools pinched by a callous thief last week. For those that know Colin, he works hard, is a genuinely lovely guy and he needs a van and tools to work so that he continue in his self employment of kitchen fitting. Colin left the van unattended for 2 minutes whilst he went to help somebody in their home, he returned to find his vehicle and equipment gone and as he left the keys in it he can't claim any insurance. I am looking to help him raise just a couple of hundred pounds so he can buy some tools or put towards a van and get back working again. Thank you for reading - if you can donate please go to https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/colinbrazier?utm_id=61 In just one day Jason has raised £200 but, as you know, this won't buy either a van or the number of tools Colin needs.

London Wolves Walk - another spectacular and informative expedition from Geoff

Our thanks again to Geoff Castro for providing an educational and liquid itinerary. It was also arranged for June 24th, the 10th anniversary of Derek Dougan's passing, so an opportunity to raise a glass to The Doog. It was also great to see "life member" (he's been to every one since a baby) Charlie arrive early, and he brought sister Molly (no, Peter, naughty)

A broad selection of the many pubs in Greenwich were on the itinerary, although it did get complicated when three pubs were offered at the same time and the collective decision-making capability of the membership stretched to breaking point. But all three were visited, with the barman of the Greenwich Union whooping with delight when a large contingent chose his pub, which stretched way out to the back and into the garden, even though next door neighbour Richard I sold genuine Snake Oil.

Some interesting facts were propounded - including that the Prime Meridian passes through Richmond, although that's rather a detour between Greenwich and East Greenwich as straight lines, or even great circles, go, isn't it Geoff? However, there's no disputing that, like the view from Hampstead two years ago, the view from the observatory is one of the 10 best of London.

Star Fan reporter opening

After a successful year (apart from the results) as one of the six fans writing for the Express & Star their views on each match, Peter Abbott is looking for someone else to take on the role. You need to attend most matches and write them up before a publishing deadline the following day. If anyone is interested please reply to me or contact Tim Spiers the Wolves reporter at the Star.

as a postscript, the RSS news capability may be fixed soon and we'll revert to that on the website.

London Wolves Annual Walk Saturday 24th June

As well as the Walk, it's a chance to raise a glass to celebrate The Doog. It hardly seems possible but it's ten years on Saturday since he died.

Just a reminder that this Saturday is the London Wolves walk, with tour guide Geoff Castro in Greenwich, home of the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory with the Prime Meridian Line, and the tea clipper Cutty Sark, not to mention a plethora of pubs. Meet at "The Gate Clock" for 11am. There is no lunch stop so if you want breakfast get there early! Wetherspoons "The Gate Clock"* (named after the clock fixed to the gate of the Royal Observatory) is at 210 Creek Road, Greenwich SE10 9RB . Nearest stations are "Cutty Sark" on the DLR (next door) or Greenwich main line (13 minutes from Cannon St SE Trains, 40mins-1 hour by Thames Waterbus from the London Eye, 20 mins from Bank via DLR). Google maps https://goo.gl/maps/PLeNBsTbrpF2

Steve writes

DEREK PARKIN TRIBUTE DINNER HAYWARD SUITE, MOLINEUX STADIUM FRIDAY 6TH OCTOBER 2017, 7.00 - 7.30PM

On the anniversary of the book launch we are holding a tribute dinner in honour of Derek Parkin, a member of the great team from the 70's, winning two League Cup Finals, playing in European and FA Cup semi finals, no one, dead or alive,has pulled on our famous shirt more often, 501 appearances between 1968 -1982, a record that will never be broken.

The dinner will be a This is your life style tribute with his team mates and celebrities taking to the stage to talk about and honour one of Wolves all time Legends. This is also a chance for fans to show their appreciation and respect,not only for one of our greatest players but also team to grace the Molineux turf.

Many of his former team mates will be present including the likes of John Richards, Kenny Hibbitt, John McCalle, Geoff Palmer, Willie Carr, Phil "Lofty" Parkes, George Berry, Mel Eves, Barry Powell and will be joined by a few more recent legends and hopefully some of the current squad subject to availability.

A tribute edition of the book will be available on the night with just 25 numbered copies. This will feature a new cover,individually numbered certificate and will be pre signed by many legends. The auction will also include the final edition of the book,copy number 1877,already signed by people featured in the book including the likes of JR, Kenny Hibbitt, Bully, Steve Daley, Derek Parkin, Steve Kindon, George Elokobi and the greatest living rock star on the planet, Robert Plant.....

Everyone will be seated and the night also includes videos, 2 course meal, fantastic raffle & auction / silent auction with a surprise ending we feel could not be bettered !! Dress code will be smart casual.

Once again every penny profit will go to to the Birmingham Children's Hospital in memory of my Dad. Proud to say that in the first 12 months we have handed over £28,500.00..............A massive thank you to everyone x

Steve Plant

English, like what it is spoke.

--and in the meantime, Brian Restall makes an observation on the difficulties facing any "foreign" imports ....

... I sincerely hope that, if any of the many overseas players that super-agent Jorge Mendes will be signing for Wolves stay long enough to need English lessons, they're not given the info below .... cheers, Brian.

homographs are words of like spelling, but with more than one meaning ; a homograph that is also pronounced differently is a heteronym ; you think English is easy ?? this took a lot of work to put together !

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.

2) The farm was used to produce produce.

3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.

4) We must polish the Polish furniture..

5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.

6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.

8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

10) I did not object to the object.

11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

13) They were too close to the door to close it.

14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.

15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.

17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.

19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend ?

Let's face it - English is a crazy language ; there is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple ; English muffins weren't invented in England, or French fries in France ; sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

and much more…

both the Express & Star and Birmingham Mail Wolves feeds seem to be out, so I've reverted to the less informative Daily Mail, hopefully temporarily

Congratulations to the young lions on reaching the U21s semi-final in Poland (Tuesday); let's hope we see Kortney & Dominic with game time sometime.

See you Saturday, Up the Wolves! and a chorus of D-D-D-Dougan....

January 2016

Kenny Jackett has again kindly agreed to us holding the 2016 London Wolves Meet the Players at the team hotel the night before the Reading match on Friday February 5th at 5pm sharp, so please assemble by 4:45 latest. Hotel and bus service from the station details are on the website here http://www.londonwolves.com/mtpvenue.html or ask a committee member. For security, we do not publish details on email or open pages of the website. Our thanks go to Paul Richards of Wolves for arranging this. Traffic around the hotel can be very busy during the Reading rush two hours, so plan for this, especially on a Friday night.

Hopefully this will be a chance to welcome our new striker Joe Mason from the Bluebirds, and, as Steve dubs him, Iron Mike Williamson from the Magpies. Will there be another striker as also rumoured? Is there a bird theme?

At long last, the rumours about the WWLSC magazine turning into a Norwegian Blue have been dismissed with the bumper January 2016 edition attached. Yes, thanks to Steve borrowing a defibrillator from work, it's alive and kicking - and attached. A great job by Steve resurrecting the edition, catching up, as well as being on top form with the match reports (apparently his Bees mates didn't go too well on Back to the Future Too) but I'm sure our latest signing will be pleased with "Iron Mike Punches his weight" . Our thanks again to Arsenal Dave for a great job in preparation. The printed copies are at the new printers Steve has brought on board and hopefully will be winging their way to members in the next week or so who have requested a printed copy.

You will see "from the chair" that Stuart has already sent out the guest invitations for the 50th Anniversary dinner in July. Yet again he is planning some great surprises for us with some special friends of London Wolves. There's another booking form in the magazine.

Away Travel

Sat 6/2/16 v Reading 3pm

Reading railway station is situated just over three miles away from the Madejski Stadium.

Probably the easiest way to get to the ground is to catch the F1 'Football Special' bus, which eaves just down from the Railway Station on Station Hill (as you exit the station from the main entrance turn right). The bus service starts at 1pm for Saturday afternoon games. It is recommended that you join the bus queue no later than 45 minutes before kick off as all football traffic goes down the same dual carriageway to the stadium. The fare is £5 return for adults and £3 for children and normally takes about fifteen minutes to get to the ground. You should also have the correct fare as the drivers do not give out change.

Tue 23/2/16 v Brentford 7:45pm

The nearest railway station is Brentford. This is around a five minute walk away from the ground and the station is on the London Waterloo to Reading line, which normally has services running every 15 minutes. To get from the station to the ground, exit onto Station Road. Take the first right into Orchard Road, right again into Windmill Road and then first left into Hamilton Road which leads into New Road and the ground.

The nearest Underground Station to the ground is South Ealing, which is on the Piccadilly Line. The tube station is around a 15 minute walk from the ground, down Ealing Road. Turn right out of the station and go straight down Ealing Road, and then cross the A4. Otherwise as you come out of the station cross over to the other side of Ealing Road and catch a number 65 bus down to the ground.

As a reward for their great away against Newcastle in the FA Women's Cup is a trip to Charlton Athletic ladies on Sunday February 1st so a chance for us to turn out in force.

Kenny's Fans Forum with Franksy on WM

This is interesting chat with Kenny on 19th February at Molineux . You can listen to it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02hc84r (available for 28 days from broadcast). It includes Kenny's views on the "Senior Pros" (Dave Edwards and Richard Stearman) and their changing contributions.

Mali's next match is tonight versus Guinea on Eurosport.

The Tatter

Those who have seen the new fanzine have said that editor Richard Perkins is doing a great job, and enjoyed the latest issue on Saturday. You may have seen the E&S article (and inside the Tatter) that Richard was burgled, they took his car, laptop and money, and also all the funds (£658) he had raised for Compton Hospice. (He doesn't ask for payment for the paper, just a donation.) With help from Amanda Amato of the 1877 facebook group he's set up an online appeal to recover the funds, and Wolves fans have rallied round and so far raised over £1,000 donations here https://www.justgiving.com/Wolves-Tatter/ and article here http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2014/12/13/heartless-burglar-takes-wolves-fans-charity-money-meant-for-hospice/

Sir Jack's funeral

Wolves have published more details including the cortege map http://www.wolves.co.uk/news/article/say-farewell-to-sir-jack-2232252.aspx

and in the E&S http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/2015/01/28/update-on-sir-jacks-funeral/

The arrangements have been carefully put together to allow all Wolves fans and members of the general public to pay their final respects.

The service will begin promptly at 2pm. Serving member of the RAF will act as pall bearers, reflecting Sir Jack's service as a Glider Pilot in the Second World War.

• The Fan Zone will be open from 9:00am until 1:00pm, with Sir Jack’s book of remembrance still available for signing. The Wolves Museum will also be open between these times and will be free on a first come, first served basis (no advance booking) on the day.

• The funeral cortege will depart from the trackside in front of the Billy Wright Stand, Molineux at 1:30pm, with the north side of the Billy Wright Stand open (accessed via Turnstile Block 8 ONLY) to the general public. Gates will open at 12:30pm. The Club hopes as many people as possible will make the trip to see Sir Jack leave Molineux for the final time.

Dinners

Wolves have announced that the official end-of-season dinner will be on Wednesday May 6th just after the last match against Millwall.

Following Ron Flowers' appointment as Chairman of the Wolves Former Players Association and Mike Bailey's as President WWFPA have announced that players with 100 (instead of 200 and representing changes to the modern game) are eligible to join. This includes players such as Hughie McIlmoyle who joined us at the 40th dinner, and Rob Edwards the current youth team coach. WWFPA are planning a Molineux dinner for Thursday March 19th - the day before the rescheduled Derby match - Peter and Roy are looking into this.

Roy is also arranging a London Wolves event for the last day of the season (home match v Millwall - 12:15 ko) on Saturday 2nd May. John eeek has already booked his hotel and warns that prices in Wolverhampton already seem quite high, and are rising, for that Saturday.

Next London Wolves outing Tuesday 21st October – a brewery tour

Roy has decided to risk his golden glowing reputation by organising the proverbial – yes it’s a p*** up in a brewery. Courtesy of Simon at Marstons it should be a Pedigree experience. The trip is before the evening match against on Tuesday 21st October before the Middlesborough match. Meet at 4pm at the brewery. The tour takes approximately 45 minutes so there will be time for sampling! Roy has approximately 5 places available so please contact him asap if you wish to go social@londonwolves.com There is a three part series on Friday evenings on channel 5 at 8pm on Marston’s.

We would then like to feature those memories on the official website and club’s social media channels over the coming weeks. If you wish to share your experiences of your first ever Wolves game, please click the link here to answer the questions and – if possible – e-mail an accompanying photograph to jamilabrown@wolves.co.uk Read more at http://www.wolves.co.uk/news/article/20140909-my-first-game-1904630.aspx#RwdBlSQFjeYqT5a4.99 “

The Express & Star also published 125th anniversary editions on the 5th and 6th of September which you can still access if you are an on-line subscriber.

WOLVES

Things are looking up. You got rid of, Hard To Sing His Name - Michael Ihiekwe, and brought in, Massive Potential For A Good Chant - Rajiv van La Parra. Mid table respectability beckons.

I’m glad you held on to Nouha Dicko and Bakary Sako because the song for them is tops, even if you did steal it from Man City and their legendary Toure brothers chant.

Then again, apart from Sunderland, all football fans are magpies. You’re allowed to nick songs. We all do it. Last season Brentford nicked ‘Knees Up Mother Brown’. They were already promoted and news came through of Fulham’s relegation. Up went the song - ‘Bees up - Fulham down’. Genius in short form.

I’m confident Wolves fans will rise to challenge of the 2014/15 season. While researching my book ‘Dirty Northern Bastards’ I came across many a top chant from Molineux including references to bus stops in Aston, Tesco carrier bags, and the idea that West Bromwich is not the ideal place to live despite its local amenities and proximity to travel routes including the M5.

Wolves get a few mentions in the book but mostly due to the chant written by one of your most famous fans – Edward Elgar. His ‘He banged the leather for goal’ never went down as well as the tune to Land of Hope and Glory (which he also wrote) but it did provide me with the image of Elgar, chest puffed out, standing on a stanchion and leading the South Bank in a chant of ‘Who art thou?’

In 1898 the Times were a bit sniffy about the song writing that ‘the melody may be complex for the Grandstand’ which is a bloody cheek seeing as I’ve heard you on the telly getting your tonsils round Verdi’s ‘La donna e mobile’ from Rigoletto with ‘Your ground too big for you’.

But what’s with the ‘We all f*cking hate Leeds!’ and ‘We all hate Leeds scum!’ songs? Given that a favourite Leeds song is ‘We’re Leeds United – we don’t give a f*ck’ it’s not a problem you singing that – it’s just -why do you care so much?

Anyway, welcome back to the Championship, which as we know, is the new Premiership. As you’re back you get to play Ipswich again – so here’s one for free. If their keeper, Dean Gerken, lets one in in an embarrassing manner, you may well wish to further embarrass him with ‘Stayed in a burger, you should have stayed in a burger’.

You might recall that we ran a competition to win a t-shirt with Elgar’s chant, “He kicked the leather for goal”, on it – but who was Elgar talking about in this first ever footy chant?

The competition closes at 1pm on Saturday September 20th before the Trotters match. Usual rules apply – one winner drawn from all correct entries.
