Bradford Bulls sure winding-up petition 'incorrectly lodged'
Friday 30 October 2015 13:27, UK
Bradford have moved to allay fears for the club's future after being faced with a winding-up petition over an alleged unpaid tax bill.
The petition, brought by HM Revenue and Customs, was due to be heard at the High Court on November 30 but the Bulls say their legal advisers have begun the process of having the notice removed.
"It is our understanding the petition has been incorrectly lodged against the company," said Bradford chairman Marc Green.
"Our solicitors are now dealing with this and we expect to see the matter resolved - and the winding-up petition removed - imminently."
The Bulls have twice been in administration in the last three years and were relegated from Super League at the end of the 2014 season.
