Anyone going?

Is this for real? does it mean that there is no salford rugby club

Salford City Reds Rugby League Club Just spoke to the Chairman. It is over a very small amount of money and is being dealt with. The Club have brought people in to sort it out and it will be. /Paul

Salfords response on FB

Steuer Greggson are the company named as the creditors. Were these the management company Salford brought in to help out with the running of our club!? Stirling job if it is.

I'm sure someone can explain this better than me, but winding up petitions usually come about when a company is not receiving money it is owed by another company and as a last resort they apply to have the company either pay up or be wound up. We had another one earlier this year from HMRC if memory serves - the tax bill was paid, and the winding up petition is dropped.

You are spot on, however the "dash" for a winding up order usually indicates a hard-nosed company, usually there will be a few solicitor's letters first, once the normal payment terms have been exceeded. As this one is from Steuer Greggson Limited, the clubs own consultants it does certainly cause the eyebrows to raise a tad!!

There can of course be many reasons that a company doesn't pay up - products or services not delivered or not of the agreed quality being probably the most common and consultancy firms have little to bargain with so tend to take recourse in such actions rather more quickly than other companies.

Does not surprise me. What makes you think it's tax bill could be something else entirely

It's on Bbc website now

Just waiting for the usual 'head in the sand' crew now to come along and put their 'positive spin' on it.

It's got people talking about us.

Out of interest, who exactly is in the 'Head in the sand' crew?

It's a genuine question and not an y retort.

Legally, does it matter that the name of the company bringing this petition against the club is spelled wrong on the notice?

Sure the RFL and SL will be loading vans with bags of cash as we type before hot footing it over the Pennines to bail you out ala Bradford.

If not, WHY NOT? Cos that would stink to high heaven and smack of double standards if you ask me, are the RFL saying Salford are not as important as Bradford? People keep telling me the RFL are not bent or biased, time will tell.

Seriously hope all ends well for you guys
