Wolves game’ against Crystal Palace next Friday is on pay-per-view, and now fans are being urged to donate to The Well Foodbank in Wolverhampton rather than spend money on the game.

Fans’ Parliament chairman Neil Dady said: “The pay-per-view issue has galvanised supporters across the country and it is great that we have come together to turn the boycott campaign into something positive.

"I hope Wolves fans will get behind the boycott pay-per-view campaign by supporting this local charity.’’

“We can help a lot more needy people with this.’’
