Wolverhampton Wanderers Chairman Jeff Shi has admitted this weekend that the club could possibly look at a stadium relocation as part of our plans to increase capacity in the future.

Speaking to the Express and Star this weekend, Shi admitted that the idea wasn’t off the table as we have plans to attempt do double the size of the stadium if we retain our Premier League status in 2018/19.

We have already pencilled in plans to double the South Bank in size to a single-tiered 10,000 capacity and that work is due to start next summer, but we are looking at further options to increase capacity given the longer term aims of our owners for success in the game.

Leaving the Molineux after our 129 association would be a big wrench for many supporters and it’s the first time such an idea has been aired and it certainly got tongues wagging and managing director Laurie Dalrymple was quickly dispatched to clarify that such a move would only be as a ‘last resort’ for the club.

Reactions were predictably mixed to this, but I was surprised so many seemed open to the idea of moving. Maybe I’m more traditional than I thought?
