Wolves forced to close part of Molineux stand during kick off for safety reasons with fans moved

WOLVES were forced to move some fans from one of the stands at Molineux during their clash with Leicester.

An announcement over the tannoy in the opening minutes of the game insisted it was due to safety reasons.


The club also apologised and urged supporters to be patient while they found new seats for them.

Storm Eunice has meant the weekend's Premier League action has been played in horrid conditions.

And it was lashing it down the rain as Wolves and Leicester got underway on Sunday afternoon.

Earlier on in the day Leeds and Manchester United played on a heavily watery pitch at Elland Road.

A half-time downpour saw the second half of the game played in treacherous conditions.

The ball became bogged down by the pitch as Leeds came from two goals down to level things up at 2-2 within one minute of action.
