SIXWAYS Stadium could see rugby return by "next season" in an update from the administrators.

Begbies Traynor was appointed by DCMS as administrators to oversee WRFC Trading Limited, the company which Worcester Warriors is under.

The company, which specialises in corporate recovery and restructuring, put Julie Palmer, Julian Pitts and Andrew Hook to handle the proceedings.

The administrators are hoping to see rugby return next season, with a number of interested parties focused on acquiring the club.

A statement from the administrators reads:"We are pleased to confirm that discussions are continuing with a number of interested parties who remain focussed on acquiring Worcester Warriors with a view to re-establishing rugby at The Sixways stadium and developing the first-rate facilities and land around it to support rugby operations.

"We are not yet at a stage to be able to enter into any preferred bidder agreement but expect to continue discussions around this with a view to achieving a sale in the timescale needed for a squad to be built by a purchaser in good time for next season."

Warriors were put into administration on Monday (September 26) causing them to be suspended from all competitions.

RFU bosses wanted evidence of a “credible plan to take the club forward,” but said they had received no response.

Worcester’s debts total more than £25million, including at least £6m in unpaid tax.

Begbies Traynor has taken on a number of high-profile cases since it was formed in 1989.

Most notably, the firm took on Wigan Athletic when the football club went into administration in 2019.

Partners from the firm were able to clear all football creditors and to find a buyer for the club to stave off the threat of liquidation, which would have seen a historic community football club disappear from the English Football League.

Worcester Raiders are set to play at the ground tomorrow (Saturday) against Wantage Town FC. Kick off is at 3pm.

It is the first fixture at the grounds since Worcester Warriors fell into administration.
