Wolverhampton FC Tickets

Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. Info

At one point in its history, the media hailed Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club as the 'Champions of the World'. It was more of an informal title, bestowed after the victory over Hungarian Honvéd F.C. in a friendly match in 1953, which in the public perception was revenge for recent losses suffered by the England national team to the Hungarians.

Wolverhampton was a club that pioneered many things. The Wolves were a founding club of the Football League in 1888 and the first team on the island to use floodlights for matches. The club was instrumental in forming the UEFA Champions League, a competition where the club was a runner-up in the 1971–72 season. Although many successful international friendly matches are on the books, the biggest triumphs were in domestic leagues. Wolverhampton F.C. won the predecessor of the Premier League, the First Division, three times in 1953–54, 1957–58, and 1958–59, and was a runner-up in five seasons.

It had more success in the FA Cup, collecting four trophies in 1892–93, 1907–08, 1948–49, and 1959–60. But they also lost four finals in the same competition. In its long history, the team has experienced turbulent periods, but the stands of Molineux Stadium, the Wolves' home ground since 1889, are always vibrant. Fans can purchase cheap Wolves tickets at SeatPick, and reserve one of the 32,050 seats at the venue.

About Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Tickets

Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club's story follows the familiar blueprint for clubs founded in the 19 century. It started as a schoolboy team in 1877, after teachers at St. Luke's school in Blakenhall decided to initiate their pupils into the sport. After two years, the club joined forces with the Blakenhall Wanderers, a cricket team. The new club focused on football but retained the Wanderers name, which will be a synonym of the club's future migration between leagues.

The reputation earned in the early years was responsible for the invitation in 1889 to join the new Football League for its inaugural season. At this time, management decided a more suitable ground was necessary. Previously alternated between a couple of local grounds, Molineux got selected as the new home. Another staple feature of the club is its colours: gold and black.

Although the team was a contender for the first half of the 20th century, the most productive era was the 50s under manager Stan Cullis. At this time, the Wolves won several titles in succession and were acknowledged as the best team in English football.

The success withered down in the 80s and 90s when financial troubles rocked the club. It reached a low point in the 1986–87 season when the Wolves played in the Fourth Division for the first time. It quickly managed to bounce back, starting a trend in the 21 century by regularly migrating between the Championship and Premier League. Ownership changed in 2016, when Chinese Fosun International acquired a majority stake, ushering in a more stable period.

Major Rivalry

 The spark that ignited the rivalry between the Wolves and West Bromwich Albion was light in 1886 at their first matchup. The competitiveness stems from the proximity of the clubs, which get separated by approximately 10 miles. Polls have revealed that the Black Country Derby is the most intense rivalry in English football. According to Wolverhampton fans, they aren't inclined favourably towards Birmingham City and Aston Villa. When a derby is on the schedule, Molineux Stadium tends to be loud, and affordable ticket prices for the event are available on SeatPick's website.
