da bwin： Wolves fans have been left in an uproar this week following Tim Spiers’ update over the club’s allocation for their second-leg tie at Espanyol towards the end of the month.
da betsson： The Atheltic correspondent tweeted out details that the La Liga side were not budging on their offer of 2,000 tickets despite a number of appeals from the west Midlanders as well as Spanish authorities.
When the fixture was announced back in December, the Wolves official club website relayed UEFA regulations that stipulate an away side is allowed a minimum of five per cent of the home team’s capacity.
The RCDE Stadium holds 40,000, so Wolves are getting the bare minimum amount despite hopes they would attain a further 1,000 before the match – the Express & Star also claimed they only average around 20,000 fans per game too.
Here’s what the Wolf Pack have been saying…
A couple of supporters blasted the decision as “ridiculous” as there would be thousands of empty seats in the ground and that it didn’t make any sense commercially whatsoever.
“Shock” and “joke” were also superlatives used.
It has caused a bit of debate amongst fans over what they should do as some have already paid for accommodation and flights whilst others were planning on going in the home end.
One member of the travelling Molineux faithful joked that he would pretend to be from Barcelona, using a sketch from Faulty Towers.
Another said he would be attending one way or another, whether that’s in the Espanyol crowd or not doesn’t matter.
And then there were a selection of fans from the west Midlands that said the club should do the same for them ahead of next week’s first-leg at Molineux.
