Winding up petition : Mon Sep 05, 2016 6:59 pm  

I see that on the list last Friday both the Bulls and Featherstone Rovers were to have their petitions heard this morning in the High Court. I haven't heard anything so I assume we are still in business. Does anyone know whether the petition was withdrawn or heard and dismissed or indeed is still hanging over our heads?

Nobody knows yet.

Was looking earlier, and it appears it took almost 2 weeks for the dismissal to be posted last time

Any chance you can clarify what that means?

Hearing was on 27th of November, dismissal was posted on the 9th of December. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/2424577/ (Spotted that the critical last 2 words were missing from my original post, sorry)

Petitions can't be "withdrawn". And if we were no longer in business, then how could we have played on Sunday?

London Welsh were due to be wound up yesterday as well, but they confirmed they had been 'saved'. Why do we have to wait if it was dismissed? Which I assume it was given the lack of any bad news, don't get it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/37259590

Didn't would be Bulls saviour Richard Lamb end up at London Welsh or did he fail to put up there too?
