Foley looking to end away form right
Friday 30th April 2010, 9:01AM BST.
Kevin Foley is determined Wolves end their Premier League travels for the season on a high at relegated Portsmouth to thank their tremendous away support.
The team will again be backed by a sell-out allocation as 2,400 fans travel to Fratton Park for tomorrow’s game and Foley wants to further reward the followers whose backing has helped Wolves to the ninth best away record in the top flight.
He said: “There will certainly be no easing up. We want to finish on a high for our own fans. We want to perform well in these last two games. Our aim is to finish above Bolton who are currently one place above us.
“You always want to finish as high as you can and to finish 14th in the table would look good. That would bring an even bigger buzz about the place. We want to finish at the top of that group.
“We’re taking a sell out following there and it’s hopefully one we can get a result from.
“The club is nothing without the fans – if you haven’t got that fanbase cheering you on it’s not the same.
“We’ve always been trying to pay them back for their support and that’s another reason we want to get two more results.
“They’ve come out in force everywhere we’ve been this season – Fulham last game, Manchester United, Arsenal, wherever – it’s always been packed out.
“Not many clubs have that these days. The support has been fantastic and we could probably have sold a lot more away tickets as well.
“We’ll never stop giving 100 per cent and these two games will be no exception.”
Foley admits Wolves need that support with Pompey bowing out of the top flight in front of their home fans for the last time, in their penultimate league game as they prepare for the FA Cup final.
He added: “It’s their last home game of the season and they’ve got a cup final to look forward to, so the fans will be getting right behind them.”
