Friday night's match against Fulham at Molineux will be the club's Remembrance Day fixture, with the a guard of honour by the military before a minute's silence is held before kick off.

And Wolves are offering £10 tickets in the Steve Bull stand to any armed forces or emergency services staff – a £15 discount on normal match prices.

Wolves will go into the 7.45pm game – which is being broadcast live on Sky Sports – looking for a fourth consecutive home win.

Managing director Laurie Dalrymple said the offer was a small gesture of appreciation from Wolves.

He added: "We have brought in a number of new match-by-match ticketing initiatives to encourage more supporters to Molineux this season, and this is one which we were particularly keen to implement.

"Fulham is our annual remembrance fixture, when we all join together to commemorate and pay tribute to the sacrifices made by our armed forces.

“And so, we were keen to welcome as many members of the armed forces and emergency services as possible, offering a ticket for just £10 in the Steve Bull stand.

"This is a reduction on the £25 that an adult ticket would normally cost, and is just a small gesture of appreciation from Wolves for the courageous and invaluable work which people from these professions carry out throughout this year, and every year, often putting themselves in danger.

"Hopefully there will be a good response and we will be able to welcome a large number of military and emergency personnel to enjoy Friday’s game."

The offer is not available online and a valid form of ID must be shown when collecting or purchasing tickets.

The game is also one of the club's 'raised by Wolves' fixtures, meaning a family of two adults and two under-17s can buy a ticket for £40 in the Steve Bull lower tier.
