Wolves’ Graham Hughes stand at Molineux is being rebuilt and will be closed until 2022, as per the Express & Star.
The temporary stand was first closed for the opening two Premier League matches of 2021/22.
A July inspection apparently uncovered ‘severe structural deficiencies’ butt two months later, the club said the scale of the work had increased and materials were difficult to come by due to Brexit and Covid-19.
That meant the stand had to be rebuilt and now it will not open again until the new year.
The report says Wolves have now changed to a new contractor because they were unsatisfied with the work being done by Arena, the previous one who put the stand up in 2018.
Wolves fans will be back at Molineux on Saturday afternoon when Bruno Lage’s men host West Ham
Ahead of that game, plenty of them had their say on the news report on Twitter.
Here is how it went down as the supporters gear up to return to Molineux for the visit of the Hammers.
Might be nice to rebuild it on an angle so spectators can actually see the pitch from it

Why does it need to happen now ? Any available funds should be spent on the squad
