Wolverhampton is just five miles from Dudley. There is no funnier thing than putting on a fake Black Country accent and saying out loud "Dudley Zoological Gardens" (Dud-lie Zoo-ologicle Gaaurdns). You can pretend to be Stan Collymore if you like.

Wolverhampton was the birthplace of the first ever traffic lights. for their first 7 years the town had no electricity. The lights used huge candles instead. After work during the evening, local lads would use the traffic lights as goal posts. The candles helping to light the pitch. A passer byer called John Brodie saw the lads shirts glow gold under the light. He used this design to create the famous black and gold shirts of Wolverhampton wanderers. Conveniently matching up with the towns motto "out of darkness cometh light".
8. Its a little known fact that the movie Top Gun was a blatent rip off of the low budget pornographic film Drive On, based at the Wolverhampton training camp of elite Eddie Stobbard drivers. This is an extract from the original film
Maverick: Jesus Christ, and you think I'm reckless? When I drive, I'll have you know that my vehicle and my load come first. Charlie: Well, I am going to finish my sentence, Norman. My review of your delivery performance was right on. Maverick: Is that right? Charlie: That is right, but I held something back. I see some real genius in your reverse parking, Maverick, but I can't say that in there. I was afraid that everyone in the tax trailer would see right through me, and I just don't want anyone to know that I've fallen for you, and that heavy load of yours.
I do worry about how my mind used to operate six years ago......

when Wolverhampton found out how close they were to Birmingham, they demanded to their local MP to move the whole of their city further east. This was declined by the House of Commons but they would consider another proposal, moving the city of Birmingham itself further east into an area unused somewhere out in the north sea. At first it looked possible but just before the move went underway Holland objected under grounds that the move would affect their tourist industry as the city would be seen from most of their coastline there for ruining the horizon to the west. So parliament has gone back to trying to find a suitable home for Birmingham. In the meantime a giant fence has been commissioned to block the unsightly city from view.
29. The city used to be called Fox Cock, but following a referendum in 1792 they changed it to Wolves Hampton, in 1793 this was then extended to Wolverhampton, just in case someone in 2013 was taking the piss on a football forum.
30. The town council of Wolverhampton are know to be forward thinking!
31. Wolverhampton s most famous son Noddy Holders real name is John, he changed it to Noddy because he thought it would help him pull the birds, 66 year old Noddy is still a virgin.

In a distant galaxy far away, in its outer spiral arm a medium sized star not much smaller than our own Sun spins in the vastness of space. Circling that star, a planet not too close but not too far from its powerful embrace rotates on an axis 7 degrees from the plane. Silent and captured in gravity's pull, a whole civilisation has risen, fallen and rises again. That abundance ladies and gentleman knows nothing of Wolverhampton or Charlton but I can tell you now, IF they did, they would write song, spin poetry and culture myth over what we are about to witness on Saturday.
Wolverhampton is the place where, in 1762, King George III had an adulterous liaison with renowned actress-cum-prostitute Molly Ringworm. The King caught the maiden's syphilis and as a result became completely mad. Through a play on words, this incident gives the Molineux ground it's name: Where exactly did the King become mad? Molly Knew.
The story was later immortalised in a Hollywood blockbuster. This was going to be called The Madness of KIng George III, but the producers were worried that American audiences would think it was a sequel, so they called it Sixteen Candles instead, focussing on one of Miss Ringworm's popular sexual performances.
In the middle ages, long before global warming, the midlands of England were subject to freezing conditions for most of the year. This led to a drop in the birth rate as men were unable to 'perform' because of the sub-zero temperatures. An entrepeneur sheep farmer invented the woollen 'willy-warmer' and sold them at the local football ground as: 'wool for hamptons'. The locals were so impressed that they wore them for away games and shagged the women of far off exotic places like Dudley and Walsall. Needless to say their wives were less than impressed with their wandering menfolk.

The first mayor of the town was called Hugh Jampton.
I was there for that one

this was because Wolverhampton was the only place that had a factory that manufactured the "Kapow", "Thwack" and "Kerblam" graphics used on the show.
