I was speaking to the groundsman on Saturday night. Keys were handed over to the demolition men mid week and they have already began to smash up the changing room area. He was under the impression that there would be an opportunity at some point for people to walk round and dig up some turf etc but he didn't think there would be much left by then.

need some turf and what a better way to remember the old place by..all i need is the time and date and i`ll be there...can i have a piece of the scoreboard too????

Are you trying to provoke me, Sir? I refer you to page 1 of this thread where I quite clearly claim first dibs on ALL the scoreboard with the intent of converting it into a potting shed.

I have already cleared space in the back garden and printed tickets for the unveling so any more of this "can I have a piece of the scoreboard too?" caper will be dealt with by my solicitors.

And no, you can't have a ticket for the opening.

S.A.M missing out on the opportunity to reunite guest speakers Paul Cullen and Andy Goodway.

I hear Tony Barrows sheepskin coat from that era is up for raffle too!

i`ll buy a ticket on the black market...and i`ll bring my own lambrini and the queen is dead lp..can see a mass brawl developing with anyone who gets there maulers on your scoreboard

Thank you for all the interest shown, however, please be aware that the proposed event for Saturday 31 May has been POSTPONED.

Should a farewell event be arranged details will be posted on both the club and Wolves' Foundation websites.

There is no event scheduled this weekend.

Boo! Let's have our own event! Can't be hard to get in

That is very disappointing, especially if you couldn't make or get a ticket to the last game. I suppose demolition has already started by now though...

I went by Monday. Boarded up pretty good. I wanted take photos and go in scoreboard and the fletcher street suits etc. tunnel and changing rooms and back rooms.
But there is also no diggers in yet.

"No scheduled event this weekend". Pfft.

Club can't stop me visiting my Auntie Mabel in Fletcher St., my bulging B&Q kitbag in hand, to fix that her errrmm catflap that's stuck.

I'm sure you have a tool for the job.

How hard is it to schedule a farewell event for a weekend? What is the hold up?

I would say that it's all about insurance and safety.
I would guess it would be pretty hard to allow any event. Perhaps a guided tour could be arranged but I doubt anyone would make the effort.
I suggest going down and speaking direct to the contractors. Less red tape and may stick a hard hat on you and allow you to take it all in and perhaps give you a piece of turf if you ask nicely.

or get a crowbar and a torch and.....
