Still seems an odd sized facility for their aspirations, though it is on the Coventry Rd. ( the borough as as opposed to the town.. )
The Chairman at SM went to a rugby school and played to a good standard (partly down to decent playmakers in the team obvs..), appears to have made big changes in a short time there and is ambitious.He has also run F1 and Football league clubs in the past, so will be an interesting mix.

Looks like they're regrouping after that stumble..

and no repeat this year..Just remember my feet freezing watching the original Moor Green playing my superior local team many decades ago;
They had to move/rebrand after financial failure so history repeating in a way.

Per BBC:

"Worcester Warriors have withdrawn their proposal to play in the Championship in the 2023-24 season and are to change the club's name to Sixways Rugby, say new owners Atlas."

RIP Worcester Warriors then.

Bloody hell. Terrible day to be a Wuss fan. I remember the near miss with ******’s desire to move us to MK.

It is sad for Wuss fans, but you can see the logic in the new owners looking at what it would take to get in, and having to agree to it by next week, and deciding that going slowly and taking the long way is better for them, especially if the RFU was more motivated by getting something in place fast, rather than something that can be sustained.

I think there's a good argument - they were sold it on the basis that they would save Worcester Warriors, which they've just decided sounds too much like hard work.

150 years building to this ?
It's an insult to Cecil and all the great things he did, plus the genuine fans and sponsors ( semi final in a Euro Challenge things not too long ago.. )
Never mind, there'll be plenty who have trousered more than a few bob from the brand over recent years.
Presumably a new 'Worcester RFC' will emerge from the ashes again in some guise and start anew,
Maybe Stourbridge-Sixways will come to the conclusion that a 'Worcester' brand may work better

agreed. Duckworth will be more than spinning.

Some rumours that Wasps will now sign a deal to play at the Sixways Stadium. The ground to be shared between them and Stourbridge.

'Worcester Wasps' on the horizon, then?

The merger that both sides denied slips ever closer.

Bugger the Worcester name, I'll be far more upset if Stourbridge disappear. That was the club my great grandfather, great uncle, dad and uncles all played for. This bothers me way more that it should. Stourton's facilities always seemed pretty darn nice to me as well.

Great little club and ground- played there a lot in my youth, county, colts and university. Think it was upgraded a bit and became an england training base for a while?

I can't speak for how it was and I haven't been back since my great uncle died and "he finally bought everyone a round". It always seemed liked Twickenham compared to the facilities in the Sussex leagues I mostly played in.
