Wolves to reopen training ground to fans

New boss Paul Lambert has instigated the change and Wolves will open their doors this Tuesday (November 15) in the first of regular designated open training days.

Fans were banned in July when a photograph of Silvio training with his new team mates was leaked on Twitter, before the Portuguese international had been announced as a Wolves player.

At the time the club said the ban was due to the 'widespread use of sensitive information'. It came on the same day that Kenny Jackett was sacked as head coach.

Wolves said today that sessions in the build-up to matches would remain behind-closed-doors, but that regular opportunities would now be offered for fans to watch training.

Lambert said: "As I said to the media when I arrived last week, the fans are a massive part of the club, and we will need their support.

"I know that Wolves is a club with a big and passionate support both at home and away, and that is something I really want us to be able to use to our advantage.

"It is something I have been thinking about in terms of giving fans the chance to come and watch us train, and hopefully help them feel involved in what we are trying to do.

"It should give fans a bit of an insight into the work we do on the training ground, and add to that feeling of togetherness which we will need if we are going to be successful."

Lambert last week met a handful of supporters in an 'off the record' meeting during which he gauged fan opinion on a variety of subjects.

Other open sessions will be publicised in advance. Tuesday's will begin at 10.15am.

Fans attending Compton Park via car are asked to park at the top of the drive and then walk down and view training from the spectator's area to the right of the main building.
