It’s Molineux, but not as you know it! Lego stadium created for leukaemia fundraiser
Wolves fans have the chance to bag their very own Molineux with a difference as one creative football enthusiast has made a miniature Lego model of the landmark stadium.
The impressive construction in orange and black bricks includes a scoreboard, pitch, and Wolves logo embedded into the seating within the mini stadium.
It took 1,400 pieces and 10 hours to construct and people will now have the chance to win the stadium by entering a raffle raising money for Cure Leukaemia.
The raffle will take place on Saturday at the WVI Suite at Molineux and funds will be donated to the charity which has particular importance to the club.
The raffle is just part of an event that will see youngsters attend the real ground to build their own models and take part in other activities on the day.
The creation of the model comes after goalkeeper Carl Ikeme was diagnosed with acute leukaemia in July this year.
Jules Richards, 44, of Luton who is a manager at Sainsbury’s, started building Lego football grounds around a year and a half ago after a few days off work.
The Cardiff City supporter has now built 53 of the 92 English football league stadiums, including the Wolverhampton Wanderers’ ground
The models, which cost on average about £112 to make and are sold for anything up to £200, have since raised money for charities across the UK.
For more information on the fundraising day, which runs from 12 noon until 6pm and costs £5 per adult and £2 per child to enter, visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/theyworetheshirt
