There was an unassuming Tweet from Wolverhampton Wanderers’ social media team yesterday concerning season ticket sales for the Premier League campaign of 2018/19.
The message was simple really, we’ve sold out our maximum allocation of season tickets for the year ahead owing to the fantastic response of the fans this summer. The club are working on details for a ‘waiting list’ for the future and it will be announced in due course.
🎟 We have now reached the maximum allocation of season tickets for the 2018/19 season!
For supporters who have missed out, details of a waiting list will be announced in due course.
Thank you, as always, for your incredible support. #WWFC pic.twitter.com/89LWTYa5Qz

Great stuff on face value and a fabulous response from fans to our Championship title win and promotion back to the top-flight of English football, but it left a lot of fans with a very specific question indeed.
Where have all these little Pups come from following the takeover of the club by Fosun and the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo and our change in transfer policy that has resulted in some absolute gems making switches to the Molineux?
It’s not a bigger fan thing, and everyone starts somewhere but with the economy and money tight for plenty of people, the sad fact of football is it’s easier to justify the spend when you taste success and can enjoy it. Ultimately it only helps the club as we continue to build for the future.
I’ve been a season ticket holder for about 6 years now and yes lots of people have come out of the woodwork recently but everyone has to start somewhere. We can’t turn our fans away or make them feel less wanted. We will do well this season, even better if all our fans are united

Ground holds 31700 apparently – add the 900 on for temporary stand so not far off

Will be nice when the South Bank and Steve Bull are rebuilt and then the away fans will permanently be in the corner, no matter how many they bring.

To have got to that point without even reaching all My Wolves members, let alone those who may have purchased on general sale, is quite remarkable. Desperately need to resume redevelopment next summer.

Fosun know that as well. The size of the waiting list will be one of several indicators they will use to guage the potential for a 50,000 seater stadium.
