The majority of Worcester Warriors fans are “happy where we are” says supporters trust chairman Marcus Mulcahy after reports the former Premiership club had not submitted an application for promotion to the top flight for next season.
Warriors are back playing professionally this term in the revamped Champ Rugby following the club’s financial collapse and administration in September 2022.
They are currently second in the division, six points behind leaders Ealing – one of only two clubs, with Doncaster – who are understood to have applied , externalfor a chance to reach the Prem in 2026-27.
Ahead of the start of the season, Warriors chief executive, Stephen Vaughan, said the club “needs to be in the top flight at some point” but added a note of caution saying it would be “crazy of us to start putting ridiculous targets in place” given the journey back from administration and near extinction.
Last week, the club reiterated their position, external saying the first season back was “a stabilising introduction to professional sport” but that they wanted to return to the Prem “in the near future”.
Speaking to BBC Hereford and Worcester, Mulcahy said fans have no issue with the club taking that view.
“The club have said many times they were going to try to get promotion back to the Premiership at some point when the time is right,” he said.
“There are plenty of supporters – particularly the long-term, hardened ones – who are very happy with Champ rugby and don’t have any particular ambition to be back in the Prem straight away.”
