Did any Wolves fans know about the auction I wonder?


Looking at the amount sold I would guess 7 or 8  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I do not think that they were the original Lamps/bulbs we got from Wolves.



If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

The club have bored me to death over these floodlights.

Anyone see the laughable and supposedly emotion evoking video about them? The interview with the bloke that installed them? I look forward to a full interview with the plumber who fixed the taps in the main stand  

Or the even more cringeworthy pie and peas floodlight unveiling night? Full of geeks and weirdos!!

Why put a reserve on anything that has no value to anyone apart from a Town fan?


Because you can not devalue the product

Very odd indeed wasn't it.
It's an ancient piece of equipment which is well past its sell by date.
Publicise the auction by all means,but a reserve??
It's junk which you'll struggle to give away.

An absolute disaster. A previous poster was right, there should not have been a reserve, and trying to sell them all as individual lots killed any thoughts of a competitive auction stone dead. They're now basically worth whatever anyone is now willing to pay, if the club goes cap in hand to anyone who wants them.

You simply couldn't make this up.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

I played under the ORIGINAL LIGHTS in the mid-1950's, so at how
much would they have been valued ?.

Mind you, my eyes ain't been right ever since.

I'm one of those who doesn't get nostalgia regarding stadiums  I thought the FA did the right thing in demolishing Wembley and starting from scratch.  Whilst GTFC has been a huge part of my life, and hopefully continues to be, there's no doubting that Blundell Park is a relic and needs replacing ASAP, it's just not fit-for-purpose anymore.

I reminisce about old games all the time, I'm fascinated by history, but the ground is holding us back and I don't really look upon it with any great emotion.
