heard it on radio manc at 10am was the usual negative storyline ie salford avoid winding up order no credit for paying the debt ourselves without the need to ask the rfl or fans of other clubs ect ecton

Winding up order?

I think Pev should be on a winding up order

That's what a neighbour told me and he said that they retracted it shortly afterwards by saying that the tax bill had been paid.

Perhaps a certain reporter for the MEN is moonlighting for the paper?

Just read about it on the BBC Website.

Manages to make what should be an upbeat message, ie no outside help needed paying our bills ( as always) comes out as negative. and Again we get the famous 8000 crowds mentioned !

Is it too much to ask for an up beat we pay our bills, matchday income is up we are looking to build on this for a bright future.

Might, in part, be a bit of hot air but by @@@@@ we need some positivity about the club !

Iain the script went like this "bbc radio manchester can reveal that salford city reds have paid of an outstanding tax bill thus avoiding a winding up order"

Don't really see what else Tarry could say, it's obvious we don't have bundles of cash (and we don't resort to the sob story Bradford have just used to cover their rampent mismanagment) so the people who bank roll the club do what they can when they can do it.
Strikes me sometimes that certain mindless posters on here would be happy if the people who did bank roll the club withdrew all help and let the club die, it wouldn't die slowly it would be a headlong dash into obvlivion that I suspect would take a couple of months before the whole thing imploded.

Fingers crossed for the Euromillions as ever

So we have paid a tax bill,so what.everybody else as to.The story is the winding up order,not that we paid the bill
eventually.

Most probably just brinkmanship - clearly there was a load of smoke & mirrors earlier on when the story first broke - my bet would be that our current account doesnt look too healthy & like any business in that situation we've taken it right to the wire - good cash management.

Sweepstake on who stumped up the cash in the end (won't be public knowledge until the 2012/13 accounts are filed)

Glasgow Rangers didn't.

The article was a poorly written one, as usual.

And who do you think paid the tax bill?

lancetodd?

Whoever did put up the loot to give all the dinosaurs more Computer Keyboard work really should have thought the thing through. The moderates on here have to put up with more inane drivel for another 12 months now.

Early Bath,I did not no you were a moderate,so you are a fence sitter,so only your opinion counts.Sorry to inform you
that I did not pay the bill,no like a lot of people,I am finding It hard to justify, buying a season ticket.So like your good
self,and the other moderates,I can only guess.Could It have been our good friend from Sale,Mr Kennedy,or the council
or even Forever Reds,who knows,more so who cares.

Early Bath

About time they coffed up, maybe the loot came from Sale Sharks. Well Early Bath is this one of those 30 positives on your so called list. Can't wait for the other 29.

Nah was`nt me either,cost to much buying dinosaur stuff,like DI says i wonder what the other 29 benefits are EB.

It would be nice to know what the silent majority of our support,thinks who is right or wrong,
because let's have It right,that silent majority,do not post on here.would they think like you and the rest of the
moderates,I know quite at lot of fans,who don't post,they certainly do not agree with you good self.
We are losing fans fans,who are fed up,faster than we are gaining them,and to be fair you have come out with some
utter rubbish you self.watch for them splinters,from that fence your on.

Most of the silent majority think everyone who posts on here are d=#000000icks.

Not being argumentative but if gates are up how are we losing fans? It's a natural process to lose old fans and gain new ones.

HM RC presented the petition and we paid the bill, HMRC then asked for the petition to be withdrawn fairly common practice from HMRC.

No real story, bill only 50,,000

Not being argumentative but crowds are up due to an increase in away support.

But they are still up.

and guess what that is what brings in the money.

Surely people can't be happy relying on away support to boost our crowds?

If so then there really is no hope. The same number away fans from each club won't be in attendance next year due to a couple of factors:

1. The novelty factor of coming to a new stadium will have worn off.
2. The experience away fans seem to have had at the ground hasn't been brilliant, you only have to go on other teams boards to read this.

So what will we do next year then? Who will we rely on then?
