Llanelli AFC face third winding up petition


Following on from announcing a new chairman earlier today, it has emerged that Llanelli AFC are to face a third winding-up petition later this month over overdue taxes.

The court date is set for January 28, with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs chasing up money owed to them for the third time this season after former chairman Nitin Parekh settled previous petitions in August and November 2012.

At present, Llanelli are unwilling to make an official statement on the current petition, but said that they will do so in due course.

The club’s turmoil this season has also seen them struggle to pay rent on their Stebonheath Park ground and the social club, as well as players and staff going without pay.

Players Corey Jenkins and Chris Thomas have already left for pastures new this month, with manager Bob Jeffrey expecting further departures to relieve the financial burden on the club.
