Wolves are heading for a bumper Molineux full house this weekend as fans snap up tickets to pay tribute to Sir Jack Hayward.

A full tribute to the legendary former owner is expected to take place before Saturday's home game against Blackpool.

Chairman Steve Morgan has already promised there will be a minute's applause, but Wolves will almost certainly mark Sir Jack's passing with a special tribute.

A special 100-page tribute programme is being put together, and club bosses say meetings to plan the match-day tribute are still ongoing.

Tickets for the game are selling fast, meaning Wolves could put the 'sold out' signs up for the first time this season.

The Stan Cullis and Jack Harris stands have already been filled, while just single seats remain in the Steve Bull Upper Stand.

And more than 2,500 extra seats have been freed up by moving Blackpool fans from the Steve Bull Lower Stand.

Around 26,000 were sold by yesterday, with half-price tickets already ensuring a big crowd ahead of the news of Sir Jack's passing.

But the death of the man who saved Wolves and rebuilt Molineux is sure to lead to the club's biggest crowd of the season so far.

Fans have continued to pay their respects at Molineux, with club bosses inundated with messages of condolence and floral tributes gathering at the foot of the Billy Wright statue.
