The club returned to the High Court in London Wednesday to contest a winding up order, but the hearing was adjourned for 28 days to allow the dispute to be resolved.
We at S24 have continued to support Blues chairman Ron Martin throughout every drama, but he's really trying everyone's patience with this, and is facing a losing battle with a public body that holds all the aces whatever his personal feelings.
The club released a statement Tuesday evening that said: "Supporters are aware that, following the payment of £2.15m to HMRC in November last year and on analysis of the sums (primarily including interest and surcharges), the club disputed the amount paid by circa £200,000. This became the subject of further, we believe wholly unnecessary, action by HMRC with them serving a Petition around Christmas and the Club submitting an Appeal to the Tribunals Service with a cross claim. This issue will hopefully be settled in the Club's favour - in the short term - and in the meantime, the Club continues to make payments on the dates as they fall due."
