Fans will have the chance to meet Mike Ruddock and the Warriors squad

Worcester Warriors are to host Ebbw Vale in a pre-season match on Saturday 22 August as part of the club's first open day.

The Warriors' general manager Charlie Little says they are hoping to make this an annual event.

"We have been planning this event for several months to make sure it is a fantastic day," he said.

"This day is all about the fans getting close to the players and it's completely free."

Warriors have always prided themselves on being a family club and Little feels this will be another chance for them to build on the links between the squad and supporters.

The highlight of the day will be a pre-season game against Ebbw Vale which means our open day will go beyond any other in the league Charlie Little

"There can often feel a distance between players and fans, but we want to pull that down and make sure we can all come together to celebrate the new season," he said.

"We want the whole region to come visit us and become part of the Warriors.

"The highlight of the day will be a pre-season game against Ebbw Vale which means our open day will go beyond any other in the league."

The open day will begin at 1000 BST and will include the opportunity for fans to take a guided, behind-the-scenes tour of Sixways Stadium.

The match against Ebbw Vale will kick off at 1430 BST and admission will be free.
