Adam Hewitt, one of the club’s long-term partners and main shirt sponsor, has decided to cover the logistical costs of the sides trip to Inverness next Friday.

Warriors’ director of rugby Steve Diamond announced the news on social media.

He said: "The goodwill being received from the Worcester sponsors, Warrior supporters, and the local community at this difficult time has been brilliant."

In a Twitter post, Diamond explained that the team have just one pre-season fixture ahead of the new season.

The support from Adam Hewitt has meant the match can still go ahead despite uncertainty surrounding the club's future.

Diamond added that the squad has continued their pre-season preparations in training ahead of the match.  

The news has been welcomed by players, clubs, and coaches both in and out of Worcester.

Current Warriors stars Joe Batley, Matt Kvesic, and Murray McCallum all took to Twitter to thank the sponsor for making the pre-season trip possible.

As did former England fullback Mike Brown, capped 72 times by the national team, and Worcester’s upcoming opposition, Glasgow Warriors.

The club tweeted: “Excellent news!

“We look forward to welcoming all Worcester Warriors players and fans to Inverness next Friday - see you there!”

Diamond’s announcement comes after Warriors’ owners Jason Whittingham and Colin Goldring denied “conspiracy theories” surrounding the club’s financial situation.

In a detailed statement sent to everyone at the club, which has since been leaked and circulated on social media, the owners claim that HMRC issued the winding up petition for being days late on a VAT payment of £320,000.

They also said the allegations of asset stripping are "completely false" and denied all reports that they will be going into administration, stating that there are still viable options to pursue.

"If that situation changes and we decide the club should go into administration then we will inform you all immediately, however, we are working hard to avoid this if we can - as stated in previous communications,” the statement read.
