Wolves today said they have no plans to play "The Liquidator" this season after an online petition was launched to lift the ban.

Fan Jason Haycock has set up the petition on change.org calling on West Midlands Police to lift the ban on playing the track, which has been signed by more than 1,760 people.

However, the club today confirmed it was a decision taken by them, not the police.

The club stopped playing the pre-match track after sections were hijacked by supporters to shout obscenities.

The petition states: "Many English clubs still continue to play this song as a way of rousing the crowd at their stadiums. For reasons known only to West Midlands Police it was banned at Molineux but not The Hawthorns amongst many other grounds. It's synonymous with Wolves and we should work together to get the ban lifted and get part of our club back!"

Club spokesman Matt Grayson, said: "We know some fans would like the Liquidator to return and we're always addressing questions on the topic.

"We're a family club and the fact is that when we play the Liquidator it unfortunately results in bad language.

"On that basis, there's no change to the club's position and we have no plans to play the Liquidator this season.

"First and foremost, it's the club's decision and it isn't a police matter."
