While Brisbane Roar chairman Chris Fong said QRU's legal action against the club might hinder a sale, some of the club's lower-profile creditors are grateful for the action.

Laundry owner and operator Dennis Beecraft is frustrated with the club, saying his business Beecraft Laundry Services is owed close to $10,000 in payments dating to March this year.

Until Monday, that figure was closer to $12,000 but Beecraft, a former rugby league player with the Roosters and Rabbitohs in the 1980s and early '90s, said the business had received a payment of about $1000 on Monday night from the club.

Beecraft said the company received an email from Fong in May, optimistic of repaying it in full "on or around" June 1 but Beecraft said the company had received only smaller payments, seemingly at random.
