BOTH Worcester Warriors and Bristol Bears have agreed to delay kick-off by 30 minutes on Friday night to minimise the risk of travel issues for spectators, players, officials and staff due to Storm Eunice.

The game will now kick-off at 8.15pm providing the weather is suitable.

Strong winds are expected on Friday morning and early afternoon but the latest weather forecasts suggest that they will abate by late afternoon.

The stadium will now be open to supporters at 6.15pm on Friday.

Warriors will continue to monitor the situation and follow the latest guidance to ensure the safety of all who are visiting Sixways.
