A mate of mine who works for an insolvency practice has told me that there is notification in the London gazette of a winding up petition from HRMC due to be heard in London on Monday 15th July. This isn't a wind up.

We are aware of HMRC's action which predates the BOM's involvement with the club. This relates to a small balance from the last tax year and unfortunately the process was too advanced for us to stop it when we became involved but it is currently being resolved.

Thanks Neil. That's a relief!

Yet again, a benefit of a member of the BOM posting facts on this message board.

I agree Alan.

In the new global world the club needs to communicate via all possible channels and that definitely means on here where you can reach out immediately to a high number of supporters.

You must continue to evolve (as I still am

)

Slightly unfair Keith, I would think any financial issues are more long term, and eventually we all get tired of pushing back the tide, and need others to take up the fight, hopefully one of these days the tide will turn

That's that rumour nipped in the bud!

Thank god. I've had enough of this roller coaster. I need the river caves for a bit

I think it is more the insolvency nipped in the bud rather than the rumour.

Just an update that this has now been resolved fully and there is no longer a petition pending.

Michael

That's one problem out of the way then , lets start to follow the Team and show the BOM , that we as supporters really do care , and we want a successful club , I know I do .

It's never nice walking into surprises like this but thanks to some great people I have the pleasure of working with this is now resolved
We will continue to build the foundations for the future but we really need you to back us now as we strive to make this club the best it can be
Every penny not spent this year limits the cash for next year, when we really want to crank things up and take advantage of the opportunities that are opening up
So please do your bit as best you can in rounding up the missing fans because this season has got some huge potential as we near a fully fit squad

You cant sit back and wait for them to turn up, it doesn't work, hard work will be needed, but I'm sure with all the events, we have planned, we will see better crowds, shame really that, we no home games , during this lovely weather we are having.
Knowing our luck the rain will be back when our next home match is, grrrr........

Keith you refer to the old board jumping ship if you check I think you will find only 2 board members went 3 board members still on new bord acting chairman John toddy Linda and maranda

John Roddy is on new BOD, Lynda isn't on the list, but presumably LISA is there in some capacity, and Miranda Barker isn't listed on new BOD/BOM. I think she's on the Community Foundation Trust though.

Hi Alan

For clarity John resigned from the old BOD/ BOM prior to the new BOM coming in and taking over.

Miranda is no longer on the BOD/ BOM

Lynda is not on the BOD/ BOM but once we revert to standard monthly BOD meetings LISA will be represented by Lynda at BOD meetings.

Cheers

Andy

did anyone actually go that is sell/give up shares or has bom somehow acquired majority of shares

has bom investment paid off last years debt to prevent winding up. will we have new petition for this years debt

.....and here we go again....

yawns and reaches for the beer.........................

i was just interested
we had no money to pay wages same time presumably as winding up was going on and same time as fans forum
could players could have joined that as at salford
the news of winding up not posted by bom
til we sort out front office going nowhere
i have no answers just pay my hard earned to support my team

Been drinking?

HMRC's action predated the BOM's involvement with the club. It related to a small balance from the last tax year and unfortunately the process was too advanced for us to stop it when we became involved.

The balance was paid off by the BOM last week all other tax liabilities are up to date and paid.

In relation to your other question the BOM has full legal control of Sporting Club Leigh Ltd.

Thanks

Andy

No.Thank you for your contribution.

Thank you

In theory yes, anyone owed money could have joined had it progressed but all players have had every penny due to them (EVERY penny!).

We don't claim to have everything perfect but we are trying hard to be the best we can.

What I quoted was gibberish. It's understandable I asked...
