Winding Up Petitions

[Mick]

I've tweeted this with credit to you and SZ and it's gone down a storm! Great work!

Cleverly done ................. but I'm sorry, the idea that not paying taxes, getting a winding up order, going to court, paying taxes plus costs plus penalties in some way constitutes a "win" is fatuous in the extreme.

Lighten up Mick, even refs are allowed to enjoy a joke sometimes!

Like when an Essex team play Barnsley for example in a cup game

I've said it before, but in the lower leagues a decent cup run is vital to managing budgets and the ability to bring in players etc.The Checkertrade is not as good as a later stage FA Cup run for example, but if you get to a final the chance to produce and sell your own merchandise is very attractive, which I am sure was behind the Chairman's angst in the week.

The TV money for the forthcoming SKY Portsmouth game I am sure is eagerly awaited, it would be a blow should Portsmouth still be in the cup..

Also only one game at home between the Xmas and New year period probably had a negative effect as did the confusion over ifollow for the Gills match particularly with the away following.

Could we offer Michael Kightley to HMRC as payment?

The winding up order was issued a couple of weeks before xmas
Home games on Nov 17 , 27th and December 1st (although two of them were FA Cup) and a win bonus for the 2nd round of the FA Cup , all before the order was issued on Dec 13th

I went to court with the late [irate] Ian for one of our "winding ups", Risdale, the Cardiff chairman sat behind me waiting for their turn. We where sitting behind the table where the briefs of the wound up companies were put. Once your brief is placed on this table, your company is finished, now non-existent. It is not a win, it is not a football match. The clerk of the court deliberated for a few minutes, this seemed like 90 mins. We survived, there was no smiling or having fun like going to a football match. Not paying your debts is not about winning you always have to pay or you are finished.……have had better days out.

I saw an old Toyota Corolla pull onto Ron's drive the other day.

If he was driving it we are knackered.

Isn’t it about time the Echo showed some journalistic integrity & featured this problem?

We all know why they dare not.

Thank you. That's the first time I've seen "Echo" and "journalistic integrity" in the same sentence.

Creditors get paid, not shareholders, until there are either no beans left to divide up or all the debts have been paid. As you’ve picked two of the only saleable assets the club has I’d say you’ll be disappointed.

I also have 500 shares I was told they were worthless

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Unfortunately for you, that is correct.

He had just traded up ....

They do guarantee you a ticket if we draw a big club in the FA Cup 3rd round.Hang on wait a minute.

 

[tottenham541]

Yep correct, I also have a few and they aren’t worth anything of cash value, just a great way of raising cash at the time the club needed it

 

[OldBlueLady]

The money has been paid, it's expected that the petition will be dismissed.

I read somewhere that it was kicked out as money had been paid in full. Can’t remember where I read it
