## Rovers Face Companies Court Winding-up

The Rugby League Club have been issued with a winding up petition from HMRC, but they say they're confident they'll pay off the arrears later this week.

Featherstone Rovers in a statement issued yesterday [reportedly](https://web.archive.org/web/20200809211752/https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/update/2014-11-16/featherstone-rovers-receive-winding-up-petition/) said that they'd originally agreed to pay what they owed HMRC in four instalments.

Two of those have already been paid, and they say the outstanding balance of £11,000 will be cleared this week.

The club also went onto say that they were *"disappointed"* that HMRC have gone public with the winding up petition, when a plan to clear the tax arrears had already been agreed, and earlier payments had been made as promised.
