WOLVES’ LUCKY SEVEN-YEAR CYCLE?

WOLVERHAMPTON manager Peter Adams openly admits he’s one of the most superstitious gaffers in the game – but he wants to focus on his riders creating their own destiny on track as they prepare for their latest title bid.

Wolves host Sheffield at Monmore Green on Monday in the home leg of their Sports Insure Premiership play-off semi-final – with the chance to extend their seven-year cycle of league title wins, which have taken place in 2002, 2009 and 2016.

Adams said: “I am very, very, very superstitious, but I don’t want to tempt providence.

“And while you have drawn my attention back to that fact, league titles are won on the track.

“Sheffield have been to Monmore three times this season and we’ve scored 50 or more on each occasion. So if we can do that again, that would be ideal.”
