## Winding Up Petition to be Heard in the High Court

Northampton Town Football Club Supporters’ Trust has now raised £25,000 with less than two weeks until the [winding up petition](http://lexlaw.co.uk/practice-areas/winding-up-petitions-solicitors-london/hmrc-petition-winding-up/) is heard in the High Court. In attempts to raise funds towards the outstanding HMRC tax bill, believed to be £166,000, Coventry City FC Supporters' Trust have teamed up with the Cobblers in a bid to reach their target.

A joint statement from both supporters’ trusts, [reportedly](https://web.archive.org/web/20210622114906/https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/update/2015-11-05/coventry-city-fans-to-hold-bucket-collection-in-support-of-northampton-town/) states:
> "Northampton Town is at risk of going into liquidation. The initial target is £100,000. Funds raised will be used to deliver a more functional voice for supporters in any club in the future. This may mean negotiating with a new owner, administrators or the establishment of a phoenix club."
