FOLLOWING a torrid 12 months of dismal ownership that resulted in their administration and expulsion from the Premiership, Marcus Mulcahy fears the club is in danger of disappearing forever under the current plans of owners Atlas and says they’ll do all they can to ensure the Worcester Warriors name lives on.
Ben Jaycock: Tell us all about the Worcester Warriors Supporters Trust, how you were formed and the work that you’ve done to date.
Marcus Mulcahy: It’s very much still a work in progress, it all started six-eight weeks ago. I put some feelers out to people on social media about the club not really having much of a voice in what was happening to the club and I think a lot of people felt very frustrated about that. Initially I was appealing to the supporters club to be a bit more vocal but it turned out we didn’t really have a supporters club as the committee had been dissolved. Somebody reached out to me who had worked in football administration and talked about the benefits of a supporters trust over a supporters club in being more of a legitimate body. We recruited a working group around us and set out some aims.
With the supporters involved in the running of the club, will that provide much needed welcome clarity after a year of constant lies from careless owners?
