Wolves staff will have to pay for their own season tickets.

Matchday workers and backroom staff at Molineux and the club's Compton Park training ground had previously received tickets to all home games but the privilege has now been revoked – prompting dismay from staff, many of whom have worked at Wolves for years.

Season tickets now cost around £500 and staff saw the perk as effectively being part of their wage.

Full-time staff members had two season tickets and part-time staff had one.

With Wolves likely to play more matches next season owing to being in the Europa League, staff are said to be very unhappy with the decision, reports theExpress & Star.
