STATEMENT GIVEN TO BBC H&W
FURTHER ANALYSIS FROM BBC H&W SPORTS EDITOR, TREVOR OWENS & REPORTER FELICITY KVESIC
OPINION OF WWST BOARD
The Supporters' Trust has been aware for some time that the silence regarding the future plans at Sixways Stadium was due to be broken. WWST welcomes this morning's overwhelmingly positive statement from owners Loxwood Holdings.
In particular we are in support of the Pre-Pack Administration of Atlas Worcester Warriors Limited. To quote a previous owner, it is in the interests of the club and the supporters to have a "fresh start without a toxic brand." The dissolution of Atlas is a fundamentally important factor in moving on from the shambles of the last 18 months.
The board feel strongly and unanimously that it is now time for supporters to get behind both the new ownership and new investors in the club and to ensure that we do all we can to galvanise the local rugby community. We will continue to work with Loxwood Holdings and the new operating company of Worcester Warriors to enable our primary aim, the return of Worcester Warriors to Sixways Stadium.
