Whether it has been resolved or not, it should not have been allowed to occur in the first place. Under the current regime the perception of our club by others has improved greatly. This kind of bad pr undoes alot of the good work that has been done and leaves people questioning whether there is more to it.

Sorry but its the damage to the clubs reputation that is the problem. Pretty major 'oversight' don't you think? Someone deserves a right royal bollocking.

I agree, although this might be a "oversight", actually its pretty enormous. This is the one item of bad news since the end of the season (in my opinion). we need to be careful!!!!

you my friend are one frecking

wasn't that long ago was your club giving the breath of life from the RFL what a tit you are

Adey has become a bitter and twisted poster of the last few months but in some ways i can understand why due to Bulls farce. I think he's been looking for an excuse to dive on here and have a go. Hopefully a couple of years of Bulls mediocrity will keep him in his hole for a while. Not a good thing for club after all the hard work done.

I love how adeybull has a picture on his username saying troll spray then comes over here and trolls his ass off! What a full weight ****!

Has he the shortest memory in history with all the stuff going down at his own manor?

Whilst this may be a storm in a teacup it does slightly tarnish the hard work done by AG and JE and even if the bill has been dealt with its not great PR for the

"Wakefield are the second Super League club to be issued with a winding-up petition in the last 10 days" - that is the worrying bit for the game in general IMO and I don't think its coincidental. There could be quite a few more of these issued - it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

sorted or not this is the type of news old or new that the club can ill afford

Mud sticks unfortunately.

An off season is just not an off season without the threat of a winding up order hanging over the club.

Sorry I have to agree with the posters who, even though this has been delt with, feel this will damage the perception of the club. A lot of hard work has gone on making this club look professional. I hope this 'oversight' does not undo all of that hard work.

If they knew it couldn't be stop perhaps the club would've been better owning up when the matter arised as a bit of damage control.

I dont think there is any reason to be concerned, it appears to have been an oversight and HMRC have been paid. However the question is why/how was it missed? The Club has done a fantastic job in promoting itself and we were starting to be seen as one of the better run Club and Andrew Glover's running of the Club was looked upon as a model for other Club's. All that good work has been lost because of this. One step forward and two back I'm afraid.

Pity though that some people "trawl" the London Gazette looking for winding up orders. They would do better worrying about their own Clubs.

Anyway, stick with the Club, dispite this minor set back I think we still are going in the right direction.

I gree - the club must have known and if they had come clean - i wouldn't have been panicking me pants off last night - damage limitation should have been what the club were aiming for.
Pleased it's sorted -so carry on the fantastic work already done.
WTID - together we are stronger.

If it's a mistake; it's a serious one that is avoidable and causes great harm to the reputation of the club.
The comments don't necessarily stack up, that may be due to the brevity of the statement.

As long as its paid - why worry ? A bit a damage done regarding its negativitity with the club looking to be moving forward now, other than that it looks like a mistake thats now been rectified.

Not the point at all. Mistakes like this are damaging to the club, both in terms of attracting sponsors and supporters.
At national level this also makes attracting sponsors to the game look risky when you have two clubs in ten days facing winding up orders on the back of Hull KRs comments, Bradford and many other exampleas and rumours.
Well run business pay great attention to detail, mostly we get this right; but not on this occasion. Hopefully lessons will be learnt.

Gutted about this. Genuinely thought these days were over, and so will our players and sponsors.

IF this could cause us so much damage, then why weren't we on top of it? It is, after all, HMRC and we know the power they hold!!!

I don't get the statement issued at all, nor the timing - coming AFTER the news has already broken.

Concerned - firstly about the PR damage and secondly about the back story as to why it happened!

No they weren't Snowie! They were hung out to dry by the powers that be, no help forth coming from the RL!

Was told about this about three weeks ago by a person who is involved with the club who we all know on here. he told me that we were one day away from closing, so the club did know about this. what next no Newmarket

My fear is there is more to it than meets the eye, something just doesn't ring true. And if there isn't then, given the recent past, the incompetence is both staggering and worrying. Maybe the clubs next investment needs to be in properly qualified professionals in the correct, vital, positions rather than using mates, ex players and cheerleaders to fill the gaps.

The forums and other social media are all full of this.

For genuine fans of the club and the game it is causing concern. For those who wish it, it's the golden opportunity to link us to our past, to say we're a leopard that can't change our spots, that we're now being ,mentioned in the same terms as Case, Salford and Bradford once more and that we should have been thrown out at the SL licencing time!!!

I find it hard to believe that we were so naive that we allowed this to happen, if we were in position to stop it, when we must gave known the potential damage it could cause!

Sick as a dog about this - and that statement is crap! There will be many more important people than me asking questions this morning!

This

Someone needs to be held account for this 'mistake' its not good enough and of course its the wider isssue not just for the club but the game in general the perception being is that RL clubs (well some of them) can traet the HMRC with contempt or are at the very least dismiss it.

The reputational damage of this order is massive IMHO.

Nice I'd like to know what legal or business process he was talking about then if the club was a day from closing.

Absolutely, one bad story wipes out eighteen months of hard work and effort.
It will take us ten years of such hard work to rid us of our pariah tag, and now we will have to start from scratch.
For those that want to keep us down where they think we belong, we've just handed them it on a platter.
Excellent work Trinity, if we fall short of the 4000 season tickets now, you won't have to look far for a reason.
Get your house in order.

Elston is the man in charge of the day to day running of the club, he should be hauled over the coals for letting this situation arise and made to explain himself. The buck stops there. 18 months of positive pr has been undone overnight, pretty much back to square one on that count.
