152 years of history ends in one-minute court hearing

SALFORD RED DEVILS WOUND UP, BUT FANS HOPEFUL CLUB WILL RISE AGAIN

- By NEAL KEELING

SALFORD Red Devils have been wound up at a specialist companies court.

The 152-year-old club’s existence came to an end after a one-minute hearing relating to an unpaid tax bill due to His Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

Salford crashed out of Super League last season after a torrid campaign in which they repeatedly made late wage payments and failed to fulfil a fixture after a mass player exodus.

They were relegated to the second-tier Championship, and had been set to kick off the 2026 season with a home match against local rivals Oldham on January 16. They published online their full fixture list for the coming season on Tuesday.
