Sports fans complain 'speedway is going to the dogs' after new racecourse track application
Sports fans were despairing over the prospect of two greyhound racetracks in Wolverhampton but no home for speedway.
In October, 100 years of speedway will come to an end at Monmore Green Stadium due to owners Entain making Wolves homeless in order to increase the number of dog races.
Arena Racing Company's application to create a Wolverhampton Racecourse at Dunstall Park is widely seen as the death knell for Perry Barr Greyhound Stadium, which it also owns and is the home of Birmingham Brummies speedway club.
A pre-planning application has been submitted for the Birmingham site for 600 homes.
The closure of Perry Barr Stadium will be a further blow to the sport of speedway in the West Midlands. And will rule out any chance of Wolves using that stadium for race meetings.
