Works out at about 60 calls a day. Great initiative from @Wolves and @wwfcfoundation – little things like that can make a big difference #WWFC

I had a call a few weeks back off a guy named Carl, very friendly and pleasant we had a great chat and although I’m not alone it was very welcome. Great gesture from our wonderful club ??

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from these Wolves fans, lots of those who were replying had received a call from the club themselves or knew someone who had and were delighted that the Old Gold had been in contact.
To have made an average of 60 calls a day to Wolves fans in the community is nothing short of brilliant from the Molineux club, and it is great to see that fans are appreciative of the effort.
