Worcester Warriors Will Not Be Sold To Investors That Will Move Club, Owners Say

Despite reports in the media, Premiership Rugby side Worcester Warriors owner Sixways Holdings Ltd. is clear in its intentions to ensure new investors keep the club at its Sixways base. A condition of any sale would state that the club must remain in Worcester. Warriors Chair Bill Bolsover said, "Last week I was able to reassure supporters that it was highly unlikely that a new owner would relocate the club. I can now confirm that selling the club to investors who might want to move it away from Worcester is not something that Sixways Holdings Limited would consider. The West Midlands is the prime location for the club to continue to engage and grow what is already a strong support-base in the area. Sixways Holdings Limited has invested significantly in the current facilities and will not risk the future stability of the club by allowing it to be moved to another part of the country" (Worcester Warriors).
