Halifax Bank, Andy Hornby was constantly saying it well was a well financed bank, so you will always having some pedalling you a story of sorts.

Then it all went tits ups.

Good to see Fev will get it sorted-historical club like ours that we want to see around for another 100+ years.

""Featherstone Rovers can confirm it received a winding up petition from HMRC on 28th October 2014. Following a number of conversations between the club and HMRC a plan was agreed to pay this in four instalments, two of which have already been paid. The current balance outstanding is £11,100 and given the fact that details of the petition have been published the club is planning to bring forward the final two payments to clear the balance this week.
It is disappointing that the HMRC have chosen to advertise when a plan to clear the arrears had been agreed and the club had already made the payments as promised.""


Not really a large amount and probably a lot less than some SL clubs owe. Just another problem arrived from the fallout with flip flop and Poskitt. There's tonnes of stuff that those two were supposed to have paid and haven't. Good job we got out when we did. No doubt this bill would have been paid on time if it weren't for the other stuff the club knew nowt about.

I guess it highlights the problems behind the scenes if someone who is tasked with bringing sponsorship to the club is also the person who they expect to pay the bills.

Think the CEO's job was to do more than bring sponsorship in. We have Paul Taylor for that job and he's good at it. There were deals that Poskitt made that the club never paid for, all became apparent when they let the club. The "Free" coaches along with the "free" flags that Flip Flop laid on for the Leigh cup game is just on example of an unpaid Bill.

It's a good job they got the 2nd place brass isn't it. It sounds like they would have been really in it but for that. Grove, shudds. Oakham Citra, 4.2 % Mmm!

Whilst I sympathise with clubs who are struggling financially I don't like sports clubs not paying their tax bills as whilst I am no fan of the taxman its money that we all have to pay without any choice I pay through my wages and have done since I was 16.
So bottom line is they are just doing their job and Fev should have paid them before now end of story, sounds like you are getting it sorted so good but its money Fev have used to pay for players and stuff which meant they beat us to 2nd and got that £200K.

Is paying tax something with which they've only had to become familiar since Feisal went ?

Probably came as a surprise that they had to pay it.

Not necessarily as they may not have been paying taxes from wages to HMRC, so not all tax from income. But who knows.

That's why I don't have a lot of sympathy for folk who don't pay their PAYE. It's money they've deducted from their employees (well, most of it is).

anyway, did you get the pm I sent you other day
