Hornets rent rumours not true

Hornets Rugby League

The chairman of Denehurst Park (Rochdale) Ltd, Peter Rush, has slammed rumours that Rochdale Hornets are behind with their rent payments at Spotland.

When asked about the allegations, Mr. Rush said: “No, not at all. There’s a deal and an agreement that the rent is being reviewed but the Rugby Football League is looking for a renewal.”

On 13 January 2009, shareholders voted to put Rochdale Hornets into administration with debts to HM Revenue and Customs of £55,000.

An Industrial and Provident Society (a co-operative) was created and recognised by the Rugby Football League, and the Hornets were re-founded.
