Wolves Fans have astonished Manager Dave Jones with the way they have taken the Play-Off Final Fever in and around Wolverhampton.

The City of Wolverhampton is currently a sight which would make any Wolves fan proud. Pubs and Clubs are full of Wolves flags and scarves whilst houses and cars have banners draped from windows.

Good luck messages have been arriving from all over the World and some from common household names.

Reef`s Gary Stringer will be wearing a Wolves shirt whilst on stage on Monday and the likes of Beverly Knight, Denise Lewis, Suzi Perry, Robert Plant and John Lloyd, all huge Wolves fans have been at the front of the queue to claim their tickets for the Play-Off Final against Sheffield United.

Wolves Manager Dave Jones has been amazed by the reaction of Wolves fans.

"It is a big day for everybody associated with Wolves and the demand for tickets has been absolutely crazy," Jones told IC Birmingham

"Everyone in the staff has been limited in how many tickets they can have because of the fans but I think we could have all sold about 300 each.

"Apparently one national newspaper ran a competition for tickets and the Wolves pile outweighed the other five clubs ten times over.

"And there's one chap from Germany who hasn't got a ticket but is coming over purely to go to Cardiff and enjoy the weekend - it's unbelievable.

"Hopefully for the fans and everyone else it's a great weekend but sadly there can only be one winner. Fingers crossed that will be us."

Meanwhile Denise Lewis believes Wolves have the fight to win the game.

"I wish Wolves well" said Lewis.

"I have faith that they will display their fighting spirit."
