No one has suggested it is a tax bill. We're all fully aware that it isn't a tax bill. Iain was just using an example of a previous petition brought against the club.

Do you think they will?

Those who have been going for 5 minutes and have a pop at anybody with a realistic view as oppose to just thinking that everything Salford is wonderful.

So if it's over a 'Small' amount of money....

[sizePAY IT !!![/size

I wonder what a multi-millionaire's definition of a 'small' amount of money is?

Nobody takes you to court over a small amount of money least of all your advisor and sponsor, in this case Steuer Gregsson but it would seem in this instance that is the case.

This is a real shame if it causes the loss of one of our Rugby League clubs and i really do mean that.You would hope the RFL come in with some package to assist Salford just as they have Bradford. It could well be a blessing in disguise if the petition goes through and the club is liquidated as at least it gives any new owner a blank canvas to work with.

I have a number of good friends who loyaly watch your club and I trust it gets sorted out for there sake as much as anything else.

It hasn't been forgotten that last season the Salford club gave us a base from which we had our most sucessful season in years, so i do wish you club all the best.

An explanation of what a winding up petition is, how it works and how much it costs herehttp://www.companyrescue.co.uk/company-rescue/guides/what-is-a-winding-up-petitionrl

Indeed - I would expect that the rfl give the same assistance to Salford as they have to Bradford. I really cant see how they can do anything else tbh- without losing every scrap of credibility that remains. So no players to be sold and help with wages. Hopefully this will encourage the supporters to come out and buy tickets etc.
Hope all goes well guys.

Shocking, the club brings in a company to prepare for new investment and they in turn issue a winding up order, I'm guessing they've not been paid for the work they've done.

It really is shocking - I wish we as fans could set up a breakaway club or buy this lot out - Salford in the conference is better than no Salford.

This may not be for a large amount - but its the second one in the last 12-18 months (after the revenue brought one)

so it costs over 2K to initiate the court proceedings , the club has had a week to settle the claim but has chosen not to or was unable to .

so we're so flat broke we can't settle a ' small matter ' , or the club is disputing the monies owed to S.G..


the negative publicity is far worse damage than the money , in public confidence & credibility at a time when they should be basically collecting cash from season ticket sales ....

Really do hope it's not a small final straw on the camels back ...... and agree with most - if RFL don't put the same effort into saving Salford as they did with Bradford, then they can shove their SL up their double standard backsides ..... the league has enough problems without further splits based on perceived size/importance ......

Really hope you avoid everything we went through. I certainly don't recommend the experience.

Is this a wind up?

I am very close to the point of not really giving a s#it anymore about Salford and RL in general but this is what I heard several weeks ago.

SG was initially brought in by the club as consultants. The club agreed in advance to pay them a set figure for this work. The consultants then took it upon themselves to do additional work on behalf of a third party. SG then incorrectly assumed they would be paid despite having no formal agreement to undertake the extra work.

Following a disagreement or refusal of payment SG then decided to invoice the club for the additional work despite having no written/verbal agreement with Salford RLFC.
