Hall Of Fame ‘Season’ Prompting A New Timetable

Please forgive us for having deviated from our normal tempo and regularity of posts for these early weeks of spring.

The gradual, current unveiling of imminent inductees to Wolves’ hall of fame means we have been falling into line with Express & Star schedules and revealing names when it best suits the paper.

So that explains why we have occasionally missed our usual publication day for stories.

Rest assured, though…..there has been no less content from us. In fact, there has probably been more. When we have gone four days between posts, we have then followed up with another post only two days later.

We envisage being back on our recognised, consistent footing anyway in the next few days – well before the hall of fame dinner at Molineux nex Friday (April 28).
