Farewell Visits To Homes That Are No More

Many clubs differ from Wolves in as much as they have sacrificed their long-time home in the name of progress – or in some cases necessity.

Read below and you will probably be surprised at just how many old grounds have gone under the bulldozers.

We list them chronologically, based on the date of Wolves’ last visit, concentrating only on venues the club have played at since the war and in League or cup.

We also spotlight only the home ground with which a particular club have been most familiarly associated over the decades, so Twerton Park in Bath, for example, is not mentioned.
