HMRC’s Winding Up Petition

HMRC served the winding up petition against the club under the name Nottingham Rugby Football Club (Operations) Limited.  Registrar Baister dismissed the petition ordering the club to pay HMRC’s legal costs, including the costs of the petition.

It has been reported that the debt was settled in good time and the club was not in danger of a winding up order being made.

The club has been reported as now moving forward and is continuing its search for new investment.  The Club’s chief executive Simon Beatham stated:

“It has been a difficult period since the existing owners said they were not able to carry on funding the club to the same level as before. We are looking for new owners of the club and that’s been well documented in the past and it’s still the case. “
