I wasnt necessarily singling Rovers out. It's a RL thing to sign new players while struggling financially then asking people to donate to a fundraiser down the line.Â

Damien Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 This doesn't sound good: The asset finance arm Investec has filed an application to the High Court against rugby league club Featherstone Rovers. According to the High Court claim system, Investec Asset Finance plc filed a winding-up petition against Featherstone Rovers Rugby League Football Club last Thursday. According to insolvency specialists AABRS, 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 relate to, but the asset arm of the investment giant, but the London-listed firm has instructed law firm Gunnercooke for the action. https://www.cityam.com/investec-hits-rugby-club-featherstone-rovers-with-winding-up-petition/

Your struggling has been completely self inflicted though by spending way more on players than you could obviously afford. It's nothing to do with anyone else or SL. 10 1

Fev are sadly getting a major dose of financial reality having spent years punching (spending) above their weight. I'm surprised Campbell left them in such a precarious position tbh but alas here we are.

Fev are sadly getting a major dose of financial reality having spent years punching (spending) above their weight. I'm surprised Campbell left them in such a precarious position tbh but alas here we are. The problem with Fev getting a winding up order is that they do actually have assets. Unlike most of the clubs in the league. Fev supporters have always been quick to point at the land they own (subject to mortgages, obviously). Unfortunately it just attracts winding up orders. 2 "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

Where’s the evidence of other clubs struggling finically like Fev?Â
wasginger Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 I like other Fev fans only knew about the winding up order through social media. As yet no response from the club. That will probably be released tomorrow. However it doesn't look well again for Fev. Â

Though you'll probably only get information from the 2022 season at the moment. Most clubs have three months to file for 2023. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

dboy Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 No desire to take this thread down the IMG route, but someone has spotted that if Fev go under...Wakey and Cas both get an extra 0.5 points... We'll leave that there and move on.
