I'm writing this with confirmed news about the future of Bolton Wanderers and Bury still hard to come by and there are clearly winners and losers in the new football but few could blame Wolves supporters from simply enjoying the moment.
After all, those of a certain vintage will remember desperate times themselves in the early 1980's and growing up in the Midlands my earliest memories of the old gold were the snippets of action shown on Central News on a Monday evening, Steve Bull inevitably to the fore as he barrelled through opposition defences before celebrating in front of a raucous South Bank terrace as the recovery from relegation to the bottom tier of the Football League began in earnest.
So it is genuinely pleasing to see them back in the top-flight, at the same ground, and hopefully adding some more layers of history to the famous games against overseas opposition that did much to cement their place in the folklore of English football (and Torino v Wolves does sound like a throwback to an old UEFA Cup tie).
Being in the Europa League does mean plenty of blank Saturdays but there does seem to be a thriving local scene for Wolves supporters to get their football fix from.
AFC Wulfrunians (who regularly offer concession rates of entry to Wolves season ticket holders) ply their trade in the Midland Football League while Wolverhampton Casuals of the West Midlands (Regional) League have a big home game in the FA Vase this coming Saturday against Bilston Town where admission is priced at £5 Adults, £4 Concessions and £1 for Children.
I have also seen both Rushall Olympic and Dudley Town offer reduced prices to Molineux season ticket holders in the past week or so and there are a host of other clubs in the area well worth a visit.
