Not so much impatient, but as a none STH (150 mile, 4 hour journey each way plus travelling expenses) it has become extremely difficult to get home tickets too.
I have tried a couple of time within the first day or so that they become available to me (Wolves member) only to find they're sold out. Will have to set a reminder on my phone so that I try within hours of their availability.
By the way, I tried a few days ago for the Watford game, all gone except a handful in the family enclosure of the BW stand. Tried for one of those, but you can't purchase unless you also buy a child ticket (fair enough). The odd thing was that all the vacant seats were singles spread out across the stand so any adult buying tickets would be forced to sit a long way away from their child. The next day those handful were gone. One explanation is that adults are buying themselves a ticket and also a child ticket for a seat that they then leave empty. Considered doing that myself. Bit of a waste, but the club receive the revenue anyway.
Yes, if we continue to thrive in the PL we will, at some point, have to bite the bullet and expand. My favoured option would be to build a new stadium right next to the existing one. Many have said this is impossible.
So either rebuild one stand at a time, very disruptive and temporarily reduce attendance, or build on a new site. Disruptive as it sounds I would prefer the former.
Or I guess we could play at the Hawthornes to help our neighbours out (can't even take the p!ss out of them now they're top).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm having the same problem in struggling to get tickets and considered the same thing as you in the Billy Wright about getting a separate child ticket.
Its really frustrating, as I have never had problems getting tickets before in all my years as a Wolves fan; yet now we are doing well I can't go very often. I also go to a few away games every year, but that is closed off to me too.
What annoys me most, is that people on MolMix and other forums buy tickets to the away games to get the points and then sell them on to other fans. It means that they get the points and the people going don't. Helps keep it a closed shop for the rest of the fans.
A lot of that going on Tam, loads of us STHs couldnt get tickets for the cup game at Anfield last year, yet I was seeing loads of blokes on twitter and facebook who I knew only go to the odd home game yet managed to jump the queue.
The game at Palace on Saturday now sold out completely
As has been rumoured for a while, Bakary Sako has signed for Albion

Been sold out for at least a few days. Tried to get tickets the other day as it was an easy one for me to get to.
Wanted to try to get to the Brighton game too, but imagine I will have the same issue once the tickets become available to me.
Sako has been at Albion on a trial basis until now and has only signed until the end of the season. If they go up, I doubt they'll keep him, but he may well help them get promoted, as he's a good Championship player. It'll be interesting to see how much game time he actually gets.

whats the point of that - the sh!t hole only holds 25000.
woulld have to be villa park for our crowds
I think the other big factor with regards to Wolves tickets being hard to get is that we have a whole new generation of supporters who won’t be getting the opportunity to see their local team. I was going to games every weekend while I was still at school and the attraction has never gone away. That to me is another strong argument for building a stadium that we might not fill every week. Not everyone can afford a season ticket and not all kids have the freedom to go every week. So you need space for the fans that want to go to some but not every game. Every seat filled gets income for the club and the seats that are only full for the big games are not costing the club any money when they are empty

The away ticket thing is certainly a bummer, unless we get an away draw in the cup with a huge allocation I cant see me going to any away games at all this season and that's with 1100 points.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
my daughters partner and family are all evertonians. they are going to get me a seat in the home end.
i'm hoping the scousers will take into account my senility when i cheer our brave boys inevitable victory.
or at least phone for an ambulance ........
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been promised that I'll be able to be smuggled in to Goodison somehow too. Not sure I fancy sitting on my hands trying to be impassive to be honest
Timing is probably not quite right for us, but the Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr is being expanded to 50,000 for the Commonwealth games, maybe we could doss there for a while whilst the Molineux is getting sorted.
Nuno off to Villa? According to WM, that's who they should be going all out for.
So Nuno's going to walk out of a club that's storming the PL for a Birmingham club in the Chumpo that's going nowhere.

Of course he is. Grealish is better than Neves and they won the European Cup not so long ago, as well as having one of the most impressive FA Cup records there is.
There's only one big club in the West Midlands. This is a fact because Mark Regan said so. Many times over.
