Last week Holland confirmed his pledge to “bring the Warriors back to professional rugby” when plans were announced to redevelop the former Sixways home to include a hotel, solar farm and medical centre.
Currently, Sixways only plays football, with non-league side Worcester Raiders playing in the Hellenic League Premier and Worcester City Women playing in Division One Midlands.
A new logo and website were recently launched, and a significant five-figure sum was spent refurbishing the eight-year-old artificial playing surface.
Holland also owns Wasps, who went out of business the same season as Worcester, and has been linked with a move to Kent.
Meanwhile, the future and composition of the Championship after this season is yet to be confirmed and many clubs have expressed concerns about their finances.
The Professional Game Partnership (PGP) has signed deals with the RFU and Premiership Rugby (PRL) for the next eight years.
Premier League clubs will receive £33m per season as PGP’s aim is to “create a thriving professional league with world-leading British teams”.
However, Championship clubs not included in the new deal will each receive a record-low £133,000 this season.
In 2025-26, a two-legged play-off as part of the PGP will see the bottom Premiership team meet the Championship winners to decide who stays or moves up. Minimum standards for promotion.
