Worcester Warriors’ administrators say they expect unpaid players to serve the club with breach of contract notices.
Players and staff at Sixways were not paid their September wages on Friday with Hers Majesty’s Revenue & Customs’ winding-up petition against WRFC Players Ltd to be heard on 5 October.
Warriors captain Ted Hill told BBC Hereford & Worcester on Friday morning: “We want to get the club up and running and back to its former glory.
“That’s the main thing. If it does that, then people will stay. But stuff happens, it’s a professional sport and you have to have a plan B.”
Worcester staff are appealing to the public for money, as some face yet another month without pay, through a Go Fund Me page.
