Premiership Football = 40,000 Capacity Stadium.

Jez Moxey has voiced his opinions on expanding Molineux by 13,000 seats should we sustain a place in the English Elite Division. Jez Moxey told the E&S Newspaper "There were plans last season to install temporary seating for the last two homes games,But only when promotion AND the prospect of staying in the Premiership for a sustained period is apparent will we sit down and look at increasing the ground long term.

"If that happens I would personally like to see Molineux as a stadium of 40,000-plus minimum and I think we could justify it.

"But at the moment there is simply no point as we are getting crowds of 27,000 in a ground that holds 28,500."

Wolves have the ability to fill in all corners of the ground, build on top of the Southbank and Northbank and wither expand the John Ireland or build a new stand.

Meanwhile Michael Oakes hopes to make the midweek Live televised game with Swansea. The ex Villa man told the E&S "It was really disappointing to miss the match," said Oakes. "It's not just the run I'd been on but the way the team started this season makes it all the more disappointing to miss one."

"Matt has done fantastic," he said. "It was time for him to step up and by all reports he did very well and he certainly enjoyed it."
