Wolverhampton Wanderers have confirmed that they will not play The Liquidator song before games at the Molineux this season.

What happened?

The song was originally banned several years ago due to its offensive chants aimed at bitter Black Country rivals West Brom.

Why it matters for Wolverhampton Wanderers

The club held a review to determine if it should be brought back, discussing with the Molineux Stadium Safety Advisory Group and supporters. An update issued by the club announced the decision to stop playing the song before matches, citing the history of the song and the club's responsibilities around supporter behaviour, safety, and governance.

What comes next?

Wolves executive chairman Nathan Shi said the club respects what The Liquidator means to many supporters but prioritizes making decisions based on where the club is today and the standards expected around the matchday environment. The decision aims to create a positive atmosphere at Molineux, focusing on safety and respect for all supporters.
