Wolves' home speedway meeting off

Wolverhampton Wolves speedway have been left playing a waiting game to start their home season after last night's meeting with Swindon at Monmore Green was washed out.

Torrential rain hit the region two hours before the scheduled start and club bosses were left with no option but to postpone after the track became waterlogged.

It was frustration again for Wolves who saw their original curtain-raiser against Belle Vue called off last Tuesday.

The Monmore men will now be looking to build on Friday's 52-38 away win over Coventry when they go to Swindon on Thursday.

Supporters will have to wait until Monday, April 18 to see the side in action at home when they host Lakeside.
