Wolves confirm matchday measures ahead of Black Country derby

Wolves are urging supporters to arrive early for Sunday’s Black Country derby amid additional safety and security measures at Molineux.

The club has issued a series of instructions ahead of the 12pm clash with rivals West Brom, with supporters advised to plan their journey in advance and allow extra time to reach the stadium.

Fans have also been reminded that pyrotechnics and other prohibited items must not be brought into Molineux.

“Throwing missiles, discriminatory or unlawful behaviour, disorder and entering the pitch or trackside areas are strictly prohibited and can result in arrest, prosecution and club sanctions,” a club statement read.

“All supporters attending Molineux are expected to comply with the club’s Acceptable Behaviour Policy, which sets out the standards of behaviour expected at Wolves fixtures and the action the club may take where those standards are breached.”

The club has also confirmed post-match arrangements for both sets of supporters, with specific measures in place to help fans leave the stadium safely.

Albion supporters will be required to leave Molineux via Camp Street, while home supporters will not have access to the area behind the Steve Bull Stand after the game and are asked to use alternative routes.

Supporters have been urged to follow the instructions of stewards and police officers when leaving Molineux, with routes or access arrangements potentially changed temporarily if required for safety reasons.

Fans have also been reminded that tickets for the fixture are not transferable and that they must enter and remain within the designated home or away areas shown on their ticket.

“Anyone found attempting to access an incorrect area may be refused entry, ejected or face further club sanctions,” the club said.

Tickets issued via print have been sent to supporters by email. No tickets will be reprinted before matchday, with supporters requiring a replacement told to attend the ticket office in person on Sunday and provide photo ID.

Fans have been asked to report any unsafe, discriminatory or anti-social behaviour to their nearest steward.

Incidents can also be reported confidentially by text to 07723 479887, beginning the message with WOLVES.

The club concluded: “The overwhelming majority of supporters attending Sunday’s fixture will do so responsibly, and Wolves thanks supporters in advance for their cooperation in helping everyone enjoy the game safely.”
