I’m told from a reliable source he’s offered a considerable sum if a suitable site is found. Not sure we should be mocking him for that to be honest. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolves Council will be unwilling/incapable of providing the same level of support that Belle Vue have had from Manchester Council. There is also huge investment going on in Manchester and the link with Man City's owners has brought in huge money for sports investment and this helped with our Stadium. The main thing is Wolves get a track of thier own. If they do get that, then leaving monmore will be the best thing to happen to Wolves as it will safe guard the long term future. It is only matter of time before dogs are gone from monmore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Planning has been approved for a new greyhound track at Dunstall Park (Wolverhampton Racecourse), officially it’s to move the dogs from Perry Barr but does Wolverhampton really need 2 dog tracks? I can’t think of another city that has two, it makes no sense. Edited November 4, 2023 by Call me wolfie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is only matter of time before dogs are gone from monmore. It would help with being able to get the track right as well. The staff did well to do that at Monmore given they could work on the track for limited times when Ladbrokes let them. Whether CVS would change the race night would remain to be seen. Sure he'd prefer to run in the top flight if he can. Anyway, let's make sure we get permission first before worrying about things like that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A site at i54 has been mentioned and that could be under the auspices of South Staffs council, or jointly with Wolverhampton council, so that particular site might have complications but we can't consider anything until the location is revealed. The site that they are looking at is within 15 minutes of Wolverhampton, and you can go a fair way in 15 minutes of driving. Not on the M6 around Birmingham/Wolverhampton you can't.

If you get planning permission, take a look at northside arena in Workington, to see what can be built, but you won't need as much space as Wolverhampton not used to big tracks Good luck for the future Edited November 5, 2023 by Neila Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
