Following today’s exciting news that The Betfred Super League will return on 2nd August, I would like to update our 2020 Members on the ongoing situation.

Whilst we are all delighted that our team will be returning to action, the current coronavirus restrictions mean that all fixtures will be played behind closed doors until the government decide that it is safe for us, as fans, to return to The Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Our players are chomping at the bit to get back into squad training ahead of their return to action, however, it will take additional time for our superb administrative staff to return to work, having spent several months furloughed.

We are acutely aware that many supporters and their families have struggled financially during the pandemic but your continued support has been unwavering; this has been humbling and makes me so proud to be the Chairman of this fantastic Club.

I must put on record my appreciation for all players, coaches and colleagues who have accepted a salary reduction, particularly as some have accepted these cuts whilst their workload has significantly increased.

I am sure you will understand that collectively, as a sport, we are facing a very uncertain financial future over the next few years - and this is no different for Warrington Wolves. As a Club that owns our home ground, with diverse income streams, this has made the situation all the more delicate.

To ease some of the Club’s financial burden, my fellow Directors and I have committed a seven figure sum to help navigate the Club through this period. Although our own businesses are experiencing difficulties, we remain proud Warringtonians as well as custodians of this Club, and we are committed to ensuring that Warrington Wolves has a bright future.

A Message from the Chairman to our Members
