Petition launched to save landmark Wolverhampton pub The Wanderer

Wolves fans are behind the crusade to prevent the building in Molineux Street being bulldozed to make way for a car park.

The Wanderer faces being razed to the ground after an application for it to be flattened was submitted to Wolverhampton City Council.

It was bought by Wolves after Enterprise Inns closed it in 2013 and now the club want to turn it into a car park to be used primarily on match days.

But the news that the historic pub could go has sparked an outcry by fans with an online petition on you.38degrees.org.uk getting over 1,000 signatures in the first 24 hours.

In addition a Facebook page called 'Save The Wanderer pub' has been launched.
