So I'm at this place going for my class 2 licence and tomorrow there's a big meeting...local business, council and even the BBC are coming...very strict security and what not...so this lecturer tells us about a big announcement....and apparently Wolves have bought the Asda! I was also talking to a woman and she said there's a big announcement! .............................New ground??????

This seems far fetched too me...why would the club buy and knock down the epicentre of any new signing?
Every new signing is spotted at Asda

I think the event today that you heard of was probably a conference organised by Wolverhampton Council where Dalrymple was one of the speakers, talking about Fosun’s wish to grow the club into one of the biggest in the country as soon as possible

Don't see this somehow. Is there enough room on the Asda site to start building a new ground? Doubt it. I reckon there's plenty of room on the current site to expand with the right design. Access could of course be the issue, mind you if the geezer who insists on locating his badge stall right by the steps at the bottom of the Uni art block would move to some where more sensible, everyone would get home 10 minutes quicker.

----------------------------------------------------------------------The problem they have with the current site is that they can extend in 3 directions but not onto the Waterloo Road. So they could extend and improve the Steve Bull Stand and the South Bank, but not the Billy Wright.
Went into the Billy Wright stand for the Leicester game and access is terrible. Have to fight your way through the crowds to get to the drink stalls or toilets, and the time it takes to get out after the game is ridiculous if you are sat near the centre. Badly in need of improving.

You're right there DJ, I was in the Billy Wright on Tuesday too, W6 . Concourse is far too narrow and of course any expansion would be hampered by the ground being hemmed in by the Waterloo road on that North West corner of the ground. I reckon we can expand sufficiently on the other three sides to give us the capacity we'll need. Honestly, I think 50k will be enough and that might be achievable even leaving the Billy Wright as is.
