Accrington Stanley will tomorrow ask for another week to pay their outstanding tax bill - or face being wound up.
The League Two club had hoped to pay the £308,000 owed to HM Revenue and Customs, with tomorrow the deadline to avoid closure.
But they will attend tomorrow's scheduled High Court hearing and make a request to grant them a seven-day extension in order to raise the full amount.
A club statement read: "The club had hoped to be able to draw a line under the situation today, however, due to delays on a couple of sources of funding we will require a further week or so to do this.
"After taking advice from our legal team we are more than confident that this will not be a problem and look forward to announcing the settlement of the debt in full in the next few days."
