Sponsors liquidation affects rugby club

Rochdale Rugby Union Football Club is holding a fundraising event to raise money to cover costs incurred by the Minis and Juniors section of the club.

Redtree, a company involved with sponsorship of the club has recently gone into liquidation. As a result of Redtrees difficulties, the Minis and Juniors section of the club finds itself needing to make up a shortfall in its budget for items including kit.

This has come at a difficult time of year for the club given that it is only the start of the season.

This situation is something that the club’s officers are extremely disappointed about but could not have foreseen.

Following confirmation from Insolvency Practitioners that Redtree International Limited is going into liquidation there is little that can be reasonably done about recovering monies, or, to pursue the promised sponsorship and monies due from Redtree.

To help solve issues, the club are hosting a Sportsman’s Dinner on Thursday 24 October at 7.00pm for 7.30pm. 1986 European Winning Goal Keeper Alex Stepeny and comedian Brian Sharpe will be guests at the dinner, along with club chairman Iain Coates. 

Tickets are £30 each and tables of eight are available.
