Wolves confirm all-time low on Early Birds

A total of 9,036 fans have now signed up for the Early Bird season ticket promotion after an additional 973 fans took up the special offer following the end of Early Bird 'Extra Time'.

However, the sub five-figure total is still 26 per cent down on the 12,215 who had bought their seats at the same time last year.

The current total is the lowest number sold since the promotion started more than a decade ago.

Fans initially had until March 11 to renew their seats but were given until the end of the month at no extra cost, during which time Wolves won three games in a row.

Chief executive Jez Moxey said: "Once again, we'd like to thank all our fans who have chosen to renew despite a hugely disappointing season.

"We'll need every one of our supporters to be at Molineux for Saturday's crucial match against Huddersfield.

"Everyone knows the importance of this game and the team will have a better chance of winning if the stadium is full of noisy, supportive Wolves fans."

Meanwhile, Kaspars Gorkss today insisted Wolves cannot afford any more slow starts after their Bolton bashing.

Wolves were left with a mountain to climb after conceding from David Ngog and Marcos Alonso inside the first 10 minutes at the Reebok in Saturday's 2-0 defeat.

They remain a point above the drop zone but dropped a place to 19th and host fellow strugglers Huddersfield – who are also on 48 points – on Saturday.

"We have to make sure we don't start games like this ever again," said Gorkss.

"The most important thing for us is to make sure it doesn't happen again and we don't concede cheap goals from set-pieces which are very important in this division.

"It's always a tough task to come back and it was unacceptable to start the game like that.

"We paid the price for it. It was the worst we've started a game since I came here.

"It was probably the worst I've started with a team for a while – we were 2-0 down very quickly and it could have been more."
