STATEMENT
Rovers can confirm, ahead of the HMRC hearing in the High Court tomorrow, that following professional advice, the company has had no choice but to apply to go into administration, as it will be unable to trade it's way out of the present situation, due to the level of debt it currently has.
The club has therefore, through its legal advisors, today made an application to court, for a hearing at which we hope to be granted an Administration Order and we are now awaiting a date for that hearing.
This will enable the Winding Up Petition to be adjourned tomorrow and will allow our professional representatives to take the necessary steps to properly deal with the affairs of the company moving forward.
It is a regrettable course of action for all concerned, but ultimately, the only course of action available.
We continue to be in dialogue with the RFL regarding a new club participating in the league and cup structure for 2026 and will keep fans updated on all of these matters as things progress.
