Club statement
Friday 15th Jan 2010

Winding up order.

In response to the public announcement that Accrington Stanley have a winding up petition against them issued by HM Revenue and Customs the club would like to issue the following statement.

The club was always aware that after the previous petition debt was settled there was a significantly smaller sum outside of this that still remained outstanding. The club has made payments towards this while continuing to meet our ongoing obligations to the revenue. Throughout this time the we have enjoyed a great relationship with HMRC which will continue.

A petition was served against the outstanding amount before Christmas, and the plan was to pay the amount in full next week before it was made public in the Gazette. The advert has appeared early and so we obviously have to respond accordingly, however with the backing of our chairman Ilyas Khan we can assure supporters that the debt will be paid in full bringing the club up to date with its obligations to HMRC, and that we will not be facing another
court appearance.

How significantly smaller? And didn't some people ask about this very thing happening, when we had a forum type thing all those months ago?? Can anybody remember the reply??????
