And got their facts wrong. This is not a winding up order.

Martyn Sadler tweeted me back saying there will be some key developments in the next few days, to which I replied good or bad. His reply was very non committal saying it all depends what happens in the next few days.

If this was Facebook I would like this comment!

If there is to be a takeover and a financial reconstruction,this could just be a tactical move.
Odd,if its a small amount,that he's appointed specialists to deal with it.

Hope that you guys can sort this out.

A very genuine best of luck.

The way I see it, no matter who is right or who is wrong, the club is once again in deep .
I have defended the club many times but we cannot keep defending our club at all costs, the club is f....d & just maybe this is the spark needed one way or other.

Hey, at least something's happening.

It's about time the wheels started turning at the Club, for bad or good. The Club sitting around and having very little to communicate to us was like a little death.

I hope everything gets sorted out at Salford for the club and all of the fans. Best of Luck.

For the comments regarding the RFL helping Bradford financially.. they havent thrown a pot of money at the bulls. They advanced money so Bradford could complete their fixtures and not cause problems within the league because it was mid season.

Our new owners arent being paid SKY money for the moment so next season will run the club on their own cash.

All though the club are partly to blame for this I also think the rfl should look at its self making clubs who can't afford stadium made to have one. The clubs gate target I thought was unachiveable on Friday night but I think they had chance if moved it to Sunday. But how is an investor going to view this can't make the club worth buying. I fear for club now

so you're to blame for them going t1t5 up

Im not so sure.. Salford location wise is fantastic, you have an excellent stadium & good facilities. I don't know about your fan base but surely with some excellent marketing you could increase your gate and then start to benefit from the new stadium.

Although it doesnt help you now, I think the RFL have relaxed the ground rules for the moment due to the current climate. Castleford look to benefit from this for the moment but they should have done something along these lines sooner. Rugby League doesnt make money, unfortunately we have to accept this now and expecting clubs to build shiny new grounds to stay in Super League is a big ask IMO.

Best of luck to Salford. Wouldn't want any fan to go through what us Bulls have.

Very Best Wishes

Hope it works out OK for you.

Hope its all sorted pretty soon for u guys..best wishes!

Yep, really hope this isn't anything major and gets sorted out quickly and quietly, best of luck guys.

maybe you should ask the fans to pledge £500K and see what response you get.

It worked for the Bulls

You couldn't imagine could you,it must have been hell, having your hole bought for a million quid by the Rugby league/Super league, they then secretly lent you 500,000 quid, then forwarded you this years Sky money, i'd hate to go through all that!
Sit tight Salford fans,the knights on white charges will be here to help you soon!! Or maybe not.
Good luck Salford,I always see us and you being very similar.
See you next season!

Actually, this post seems to be more of an attack on the Bulls rather than any sincere offer of moral support.

RL needs Salford as the representative of the City of Manchester. Back in the days of David Watkins they were the team of their time, I would love to see those days again and a repeat of the fantastic Salford vs Cas Challenge cup final.

All the best for the future, its up to all fans to make sure they fill the new stadium when their team visits.

No you can't. There is a minimum debt, I admit it isn't a huge amount but it is still there.

Yes, you are right - the minimum is £750, it was proposed to be raised to £1,500 but I don't know if that happened - my apologies for misleading everyone!

However, in company terms it is still pretty small.

It has remained at £750 for at least the last 20 years.

It should be noted that a large % of petitions are withdrawn or dismissed without an Order having been made.

It is the legal way of "sending in the boys"

Exactly so - a point I made earlier, and often used by solicitors and consultants at a very early stage compared to other suppliers as they don't have the threat of withdrawal of supplies etc.

What does it cost to lodge the petition

There are 3 main costs

Solicitor fees- depends on whio you use but probably £1,000+
Court Costs £220
Petition Costs- 1165
