THE ORIGINAL RED DEVILS

Statement from the Ownership Group

We are pleased to confirm that our new funding has been formally secured and is expected to be received within the next twelve days. Once received, these funds will be immediately allocated to:

  • Settling all outstanding debts with our local creditors
  • Clearing our balance with HMRC
  • Facilitating the formal withdrawal of the winding-up petition

While winding up may have presented a simpler financial solution, it would have come at a significant cost to the local businesses, many of which are owned and operated by our loyal supporters, who have stood by us through challenging times. We have chosen the more difficult path to protect these vital pillars of our community, ensuring they can continue to trade and thrive alongside us.

This decision secures the future of our 152-year-old institution, safeguards the community we proudly serve, strengthens our ability to build a competitive team both on and off the field, and preserves our strategic plan for a return to the Super League in 2027.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our creditors, fans, and partners for their unwavering patience. Your continued support has been instrumental in securing the future of our club.
