Just finished reading 'running with wolves' by Peter lansley a great read which brought back years of memories. Also he kind of book he could hopefully update (as it was written in 2004). Got me reminiscing and therefore wondering about what favourite memories you all had. I've gone for memories outside of players and results, but anything goes.
I'll start of for me it's the following
1) going to the match with the old man and brother, with two milk crates to stand on so my brother and I could see the game, can you imagine that now ?
2) sitting on the white wall on the edge of the pitch on the Waterloo road. We would often retrieve the ball to throw to the players when it went out of play. However, always missed the last 5 minutes as the police made us kids get off the wall at the end, then we couldn't see from behind it for the last 5. So close to the action.
3) balti pies now, but back in the day just two words - wagon wheels
This has been a dreadful season, as was last season but reading that book reminds you how great we are as a club. Whatever happens happens, there's always another day.
Favourite memory of supporting wolves

I was on the same Special to Southend. We played on a Friday night for some reason and the journey was about 6 hours each way. The blokes sitting opposite us ripped out their table, threw it out of the window and then tried to deny that it was them when a copper came into the carriage to find out where the table he just seen fly past his window had come from.
Losing 6-0 away at Rotherham in the 1st round of the FA Cup in the 85/86 season which had many lowlights.
Seeing Bully on his knees in front of the Wolves fans after losing the play-off semi at Bolton.

Herb...more bad news about that Newport County game. I was meeting my mate Micky Till at the ground but heard that it was posponed before I set off, so I didn't go. Mobile phones were yet to be invented so Mick made it to the ground... Fortunately Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin also did, & they ended up spending their night together in the club bar discussing the Wolves.
We also went to that Southend game which was a massive unexpected failure. Heard about the seafront riots but were too despondant to care.
I actually 'liked' that 6-0 defeat at Rotherham, especially when Nicky Clarke got sent off ät the end. There was a riot at half time & I remember carrying 2 boiling hot cups of tea through it. People stopped fighting to let me pass!
But worst of all...I agree was Bolton. I had that photo of Bully on my desk for the next 10 years as a bitter reminder. I will never get over it

That's the thing about supporting Wolves; more bad memories than good ones.
The good one, being so few, burn much brighter than the bad ones and three cup final wins (alright, one was a Mickey Mouse cup), numerous promotions and umteen wins against the bigger clubs pale the losses and disappointments into oblivion.

Scotland v Gemany, June 7th 2003, Scotland's equaliser a quickly taken Colin Cameron free kick to Kenny Miler who had timed his run and scored, described by the commentator as " a goal for Scotland made in Wolverhampton". As a Scottish born Wolves fan a moment of immense pride

Losing 0-6 to Southampton at home. Great support that day.
