Is it 'Molineux', 'The Molineux', or 'Molineux Stadium /Grounds'?

[Shotbybothsides]

Just wondered which people think is the correct terminology?

I've always insisted its just 'Molineux' but see so many reports its at 'The Molineux'. 'Molineux Grounds' (which I know was the original name), or 'Molineux Stadium' can be left to kroney council signwriters who don't know much.

I know there is no official answer, but just wondered what others thought about the correctness of this as the Wolves fanbase sees it? Personally, I hate it when people say its at 'The Molineux' but I don't really know why it bugs me. After all, most Wolverhampton / Black Country people will say 'The Wolves' not just 'Wolves'.

But surely its just 'Molineux'...............................

Yep, Molineux...

 

[BillyDee]

Or the Golden Palace...

Molin-yerrr as the idiot who did our late 90s/early 00s DVD reviews had it.

One that did change quite seamlessly was the Steve Bull Stand. I don't think anyone even accidentally calls it the John Ireland now.

Ramshackle Molineux

I remember looking across from the South bank at the 'New Stand' being built in Park Village, thinking "Its gonna cost a packet to move it across to the ground" -.

I am really old and still call it the Ireland by mistake sometimes. I've stopped calling it the Molineux Street Stand though!

There is a Black Country propensity to add 'The' in front of everything, The Wolves, The Asda, The Sh!t. So I guess that it's right for us to call it The Molineux. My Dad from Tipton calls it The Molineux, but I am an posh git bought up in Brierley Hill, so I just say Molineux. I still struggle to spell it though!

I've always said 'ahm gooin dahn the Molinyoo', ever since I started going 55 years ago. Dunno if it's right or wrong, don't care, it's too late to change now.

Moo-li-nexx is the worst one I've heard said. Like the people who make kettles.
