FEATHERSTONE ROVERS have been hit with a winding-up petition by Investec Asset Finance plc.
Featherstone Rovers hit with a winding-up petition as Championship club issues response
According to the High Court claim system, the company filed a winding-up petition against Featherstone Rovers Rugby League Football Club last Thursday.
A winding-up petition is a serious statement of intent by a creditor to shut down a company due to unpaid debts through compulsory liquidation.
It is not yet clear what the alleged debts actually are, but London-listed firm Investec has instructed law firm Gunnercooke for the action.
After being contacted by League Express, Featherstone Rovers chief executive Martin Vickers said: “This is a matter we are in discussions with Investec about and we expect to resolve shortly.”
Earlier this season, ex-Featherstone players Craig Hall and Dane Chisholm took to social media, issuing claims that Rovers had allegedly not paid owed money.
