Molineux clock to move again

The famous Molineux clock will have a new home next season, it emerged today as Wolves prepared to put the final touches to the ground's £18 million redevelopment.

A raft of new alterations have been announced by the club, including the clock being placed in the Jack Harris Stand instead of its previous position in the Stan Cullis Stand.

Plans for a video screen in the new Stan Cullis Stand are being put on hold while the Cullis statue is to be turned around to face towards the stand so that supporters inside the reception area can view it in its full glory.

Club officials say the decision to house the clock at the top of the Jack Harris Stand – known to supporters as the South Bank – is because the rebuilt Stan Cullis Stand is too high.

It means the clock will have been positioned on three of Molineux's four stands over the years.

It began life in 1932 on the old Molineux Street Stand, which is now the Steve Bull Stand, and remained there until the stand was demolished in 1979, then moving to what is now the Billy Wright Stand and re-emerging on the Stan Cullis Stand in 1992.

The £18m transformation of Molineux began last summer, with the lower tier of the stand first opening to supporters in September.

Upmarket corporate bar WV1, positioned between the lower and upper tiers of the 7,700-seater stand, was unveiled last month, as was the club's new megastore.

Supporters' bar The North Bank will be accessible to supporters from the start of the season. while the new ticket office will open in September.

The new two-tier stand will be fully open to fans for the League Cup clash against Aldershot on August 11, it is anticipated.
