Worcester Warriors’ Friday night Guinness Premiership match against local rivals Gloucester, at Sixways, is a sell-out.
The televised match promises to be a high-octane occasion as Warriors bid to put their league campaign back on track in front of a passionate home crowd.
Meanwhile, tickets are still available for the match that could see Worcester Warriors move closer to an EDF Energy Cup semi-final place.
Warriors face Leicester Tigers at Sixways on Saturday knowing that a repeat of the winning performance at Northampton Saints, last week, will move them within reach of the last four.
Director of Rugby John Brain is certain the visitors will bring a strong team littered with internationals and a positive attitude – but that Warriors can match them.
“The key thing is for us to back up a performance like the one at Franklin’s Gardens and also to get back to winning ways at home,” he says. “It’s not easy to do that against Leicester. They’ll see this as a win here and they’re virtually through. It will be difficult for us, but we’ve got every incentive.”
As with all EDF Energy Cup and ERC fixtures, the Tigers clash is included in debenture and season ticket packages. Anyone buying in advance will find the majority of adult tickets costing £22 or £27 (£11 and £13 for under 18s). Supporters will be able to buy on the day, though tickets cost £2 extra for adults and £1 extra for juniors.
