Seems to me like there are two people on this thread doing their best to be as negative as they can towards the club, but failing miserably
If you deal with HMRC on a regular basis, you'll know what a f**king nightmare they have become. They are chronically short staffed and trying to speak to anyone who knows anything is like trying to get an audience with the Pope.

This just shows what's important to certain people and how much 'fun' they seem to have with perverting the actual situation at the club.Personally I'd rather support the FD who balances the books and finds the funds to ensure that DRFC supporters can have some of the cheapest season tickets in the whole of the EFL, and at a time that the playing budget has been increased substantially. If that's laughable then I'm more than happy to support the FD that delivers something that has true value, rather than adopt a childish position like you do.

It is interesting that when this happens to other clubs, no one on here springs to their defence.This thread is an example of speculation about facts which could be clarified by a simple statement by the club. SM could ask the club rather than pitching in without seemingly having sought an official statement. Presumably members of the Shadow Board also have appropriate access. Where the fault lies is not a matter that is decided by a majority vote on here. HMRC is probably less popular than Boris.People may not believe me, but I would be pleased to learn that no fault lies with the club.I did not think that alternative opinions were forbidden.

But you do you, and I'll take solace in knowing this board and the views on it are but a tiny fraction of the fan base.
If there has been a statement direct from the club on the Official site I must have missed it. All I have seen is the BBC piece. “Doncaster Rovers have told the BBC that an "administrative error" is the explanation for a winding-up petition being lodged by His Majesty's Revenue and Customs [HMRC].”They do not say it is an error by HMRC.
The original info seems to be on Twitter from the Radio Sheffield Sports Editor which reads as follows “Andy Giddings 12:18 pm · 22 Jun 2023@SportGids1Understand Doncaster Rovers have been served with a winding up petition by HMRC. It appears this automatic process follows an 'error' involving the transfer of funds from 1 account to another which I'm assured will be quickly being addressed.”I am obviously seen as deeply prejudiced, but to me this reads as an error on the part of the club, otherwise they would have surely made a point of absolving themselves.
The club have admitted that they hadn't paid it
It was seemingly an innocent error by the club and no doubt they have taken steps to ensure it won’t happen again which is good.I am sorry that delving into the detail has upset so many people.
