Wolves have unveiled exciting plans for a £40 million redevelopment of Molineux which would take its capacity to 36,000 in time for the start of the 2014-15 season.
The project, which will be submitted for local authority approval in late July, and was made public to local residents for the first time on Thursday as part of a consultation meeting. The club's vision comprises of four phases, although planning permission will only initially be sought for the first three phases.
Phase one is scheduled to start with the demolition of the Stan Cullis Stand at the end of the forthcoming season, with a state-of-the art two-tier structure constructed that extends into the open corner of the Steve Bull Stand - starting a stadium bowl design.
Phase two will then see a new two-tier Steve Bull Stand built over the course of the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons in time for the start of 2014/15 - taking Molineux's capacity from 29,303 to 36,000.
Phases three and four respectively, which are subject to supporter demand and not included in the £40m figure, would see the Jack Harris Stand regenerated to match the first two stands and take capacity to around 38,000. With early plans also drafted to possibly redevelop the Billy Wright Stand to take the figure up to 50,000.
