From Thursday’s Express & Star. Good thing Hank Steinbrenner’s not in charge at Wolverhampton or they might’ve nuked their own parking lot.
It started as a builder™s cheeky dig at Wolves fans making their way to Molineux.
But if looked at closely the block paving just 30ft from the turnstiles of the Billy Wright stand at the stadium could be seen “ spelling the name of Birmingham rivals Blues.
The wind-up went unnoticed for 10 years, until just a few days ago when club officials hastily rearranged the brickwork.It was the handiwork of a Birmingham City fan builder and has been there since 1998 according to a video posted on the YouTube.
It has not been revealed which building firm was responsible. Wolves bosses today said they rearranged paving close to the car park by the Billy Wright stand, saying it cost nothing to put right, about five days ago.
They played down the stunt and said that the colours of the paving were not that noticeable and may have been enhanced for the video. Wolves spokesman Matt Grayson said today: œIt won™t be a big surprise to our fans that on occasion we™ve walked over the opposition at Molineux. However, for the sake of a few minutes™ work we™ve changed the offending 10 or so stones around.”
I’d have to say that my favorite part of this version of the video is the end credits, where they include 9/11 and 7/7 were inside job.
