Wolverhampton Wanderers fans are delighted that the club has filed a complaint with UEFA following the Europa League clash with Braga.
On Thursday afternoon, the Athletic’s Tim Spiers was on hand to relay the information that the club had filed the complaint due to the treatment of supporters whilst attending the clash in Portugal (via Tim Spiers).
With supporters whole-heartedly agreeing that the Old Gold have made the right decision, they were delighted to see that the club was taking action.
Wolves have submitted an official complaint to UEFA over the treatment of fans who were trying to get into the Braga game last week.
“The club has received an unprecedented number of complaints from supporters who were left disappointed, distressed and in some cases injured.”

While the scenes in Portugal prior and post-kick-off had been unsavoury, the result on the pitch will be remembered for a long time to come, with a 3-3 draw ensuring Wolves qualified for the knockout stages (via The Mirror).
However, with supporters contemplating the complaint that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side has lodged with UEFA, they felt that enough would not be done to protect them in further Europa League clashes.

What do we think?
The treatment of Wolves supporters, while they were in Portugal, was disgraceful by the sounds of it and supporters are rightly pleased that the club has made a complaint – whatever may come of it.
