Arena seating company Alderdale Stadia Seating revealed pictures of the first railed seats on Twitter, with every seat in the famous stand set to be changed.

Metal bars will be placed across the rows in front of each seat in the move.

The Sir Jack Hayward stand, known as the South Bank, has had issues with fans standing for years, with this move aiming to make it more safe for supporters.

The current law states that safe standing is prohibited in the top two tiers of English football, but that railed seats are allowed after a change in legislation.

Wolves have made history by becoming the first Premier League club to introduce the new seats.
