Wolves have been offered discounted tickets for their FA Cup fifth round trip to Bristol City next weekend.

Adult tickets are just £12 and concessions are either £8 (over 65s and under-22s) or £5 (under-19s).

However the clubs have yet to come to an agreement over Wolves' allocation.

Wolves are thought to be pushing for their maximum FA Cup allowance of 15 per cent, at the 27,000-capacity Ashton Gate.

Tickets go on sale to gold away season ticket holders at 10am on Thursday.

The game takes place on Sunday, February 17 at 1pm and is live on BT Sport.

Wolves' last trip to Ashton Gate produced one of their most memorable finishes to a match in recent years. They came from 1-0 down to win 2-1 thanks to Ryan Bennett's last-gasp winner, after both teams had been reduced to 10 men.

The whole backroom team celebrated the goal on the pitch with the players, while Nuno Espirito Santo was out of his chair in the director's box.

There had been bad blood between the sides earlier in the season. City assistant boss Jamie McAllister accused Wolves of 'bad sportsmanship' after a tempestuous encounter at Molineux.

They felt aggrieved really at Wolves appealing for a penalty when a City player went down injured, and were also annoyed at Wolves not giving the visitors the ball back after an injury.
