I just had to add something to what has already been written about this Black Country jewel after living there for five years….
Apparently, Wolverhampton is now a city, although St. Peter’s Church, a thousand year old building there, is in better nick than the tired old Mander Centre wear the Mecca for Chav “fashion Victims” called SoccerSports is sited. Suitably, it is situated in the basement where you can find loads of taste challenged individuals buying not only Reebok and Nike, but sadly Diadora and Donnay as well.( and we used to laugh at kids who wore St. Michael’s underwear!!!) The Wolves Supporter’s shop above ground is always empty.
The best time to spot chavs is in the evening around the usual MacPubs in the town centre…The Hogshead, Litten Tree, Yates etc. Also try Heroes Sports bar when a match is on, you can tell when Wolves are playing cos everyone is in gold and black rather than the obligatory Man U strip.
Best time to avoid them is any match day after the game and also ten o’clock most evenings as everybody appears shit faced. I still miss the place though.
