WORKINGTON TOWN - CLUB STATEMENT

WORKINGTON TOWN RLFC - OFFICIAL CLUB STATEMENT.

There have, quite rightly, been questions from supporters in relation to the current position and intentions of the club for this season and into the future. It’s been a very difficult season on the pitch which has disappointed us all. 

The Town board wanted to issue an update, which will be the first of a number of statements to be released over the coming weeks to ensure all of our stakeholders are kept up to date. 

Over recent weeks there has been a lot of work undertaken at the club to reconcile our financial position in line with near, and longer term, aspirations. 

The results on the pitch have, as will be understood, had an impact off the pitch. Due to the club's position in light of recruitment decisions coming into the 2022 season, declining attendances adversely affecting match day revenue and overall cost increases, immediate work on the cost base has been carried out to ensure the financial health of the club. 

In order to avoid future difficulties - and to drive towards the fantastic new stadium build and sustainable business model - more action needs to be taken over the coming weeks 

Further information will be released over that time but we want to assure the fan base, and everyone involved in the club, that the Board are committed to doing everything possible, however difficult,  to ensure the long-term security of our fantastic club.    

We appreciate your patience and continued support.
