Simi Posted 7 February 2008 Posted 7 February 2008 Wolves fans in travel banSupporters must use organised transport and will not be allowed to buy tickets if they want to travel in their own car or by bus or train. Chief executive Jez Moxey today blasted the ban. The club is increasing the number of official coaches and will run them at cost price but is trying to establish what will happen to supporters groups around the country planning on organising their own transport. Details of coach numbers and ticket prices will be announced closer to game on February 16 (3pm). Cardiff fans were banned from Molineux after clashes with police in March 2006 after they vented their fury over a half-time alcohol ban. Mr Moxey said today Wolves had done “everything possible” to persuade South Wales Police to change their minds over the transport ban. Different kick-off times or a switch to Sunday were both floated as possible solutions, and supportive letters from West Midlands Police, the FA and the Football Licensing Authority were submitted. He said about 29,000 fans had traveled away with the team so far this season with no reports of public disorder and 11 arrested for minor offences. Wolves have an allocation of 2,000 tickets priced at £23 seats, £22 terrace and £15 for concessions. Officials are looking into beam-back coverage at Molineux corporate areas. Link So if your a Wolves fan living in Wales, you can't go to the game unless you travel on a coach from Wolves. Football has gone tits up. How would the foxiles feel if this was forced on them? Madness.

How would the foxiles feel if this was forced on them? Madness. What a Joke. Why not just make the allocation smaller to reduce trouble. Banning many away fans? Overseas Premier league games? Football is becoming a joke.
act smiley Posted 7 February 2008 Posted 7 February 2008 They've been doing this since way back, just rarely for such a weak reason.
Thracian Posted 7 February 2008 Posted 7 February 2008 What a Joke.Why not just make the allocation smaller to reduce trouble. Banning many away fans? Overseas Premier league games? Football is becoming a joke. Mother football is being anally gang-raped by men in suits and the fans are being showered with shit as they pay to look on. Every decision now seems to be driven by money, greed, television or the Government's health and safety jobsworths. The fans who've built the history and traditions that so drives the sport in England are being shown two fingers by these soulless, wallet stuffing, opportunists who care for nothing but the next media contract and corporate killing.
Daggers Posted 7 February 2008 Posted 7 February 2008 News such as this and the "Global Brand Awareness" shit the FA/Premier have dreamed up really does sicken me.
davieG Posted 7 February 2008 Posted 7 February 2008 It could be worse they could be Premier team playing in China, the poor old exile in China would have to fly to England to get the bus back again !
AyewJoking Posted 7 February 2008 Posted 7 February 2008 its funny how we bitch about moneymen ruining the game but we as fans hold all the power, if every fan in the country stopped putting money into their clubs that would put an end to the game completely. We'd be cutting our noses off to spite our face but what else are you gonna do, sit back and put up with it?

We'd be cutting our noses off to spite our face but what else are you gonna do, sit back and put up with it? Do you really think people have it in them to do something like this? Many just sit with an attitude saying "I can't do anything about it". I'd love something to happen regarding boycotts, just can't see it.

I'd love something to happen regarding boycotts, just can't see it. I'm just getting ahead of myself. Seven subs and matches overseas and now this travel ban has really pissed me off. I too would love if the fans turned their backs on the game. Cant believe I'm saying it but it would throw a spanner in the works wouldnt it? I'll quit while I'm only slightly behind.
Geo V Posted 7 February 2008 Posted 7 February 2008 Bring back the bad old days of football. Someone transport me back to 1983.....

Isn't Cardiff in Wales? Flynny may well put me right but I'm fairly sure it is.
Thracian Posted 7 February 2008 Posted 7 February 2008 Isn't Cardiff in Wales?Flynny may well put me right but I'm fairly sure it is. Are you always so pedantic? They play in the (predominently) English Football League, for whatever reason.
Hullfox Posted 8 February 2008 Posted 8 February 2008 Are you always so pedantic? They play in the (predominently) English Football League, for whatever reason. No, they play half of their games in Wales.
Ultra Posted 8 February 2008 Posted 8 February 2008 69 out of the 72 Football League clubs are based in England.
Thracian Posted 8 February 2008 Posted 8 February 2008 69 out of the 72 Football League clubs are based in England. That's a nice number.
Thracian Posted 8 February 2008 Posted 8 February 2008 No, they play half of their games in Wales. Someone told me the Welsh were the only true Brits anyway.
Hullfox Posted 8 February 2008 Posted 8 February 2008 69 out of the 72 Football League clubs are based in England. No shit Sherlock.
