Halifax Town are to face a winding up petition over more than £100,000 in unpaid taxes.
The Inland Revenue have petitioned the High Court to fold the club, but club officials are confident the matter will be resolved before the September 5th hearing. A club statement reads:
"The Club is fully aware of the winding up petition and has the matter in hand. The Club requests that all fans and friends, including shareholders, former Directors and supporters organisations get fully behind the Club, Manager, Players and Staff as the takeover by the Consortium enters its finals stages.
"It is the Clubs intention to ensure this takeover is completed prior to the date of the winding up petition. Subject to completion of the deal and a 75% shareholding being achieved, funds have been secured that would allow immediate settlement of the monies owed to the Crown."
