Harry Stottle 4,114 Report post Posted November 21, 2020 What a disappointment to some, when I have come onto this thread it had 42 views but only one comment, the dissapointment I refer to was it was probably expected to be controversial and it would have had numerous posts, but because it wasn't that no comment except that of Gooleboy, nice one. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldbear 793 Report post Posted November 21, 2020 I’ve said this before, I don’t know Mr Beaumont, and am never likely to, but he seems to do some very good things in his community and definitely has his communities interests at the forefront of his actions, including Leigh RL. As a sport we complain about not being able to attract enough wealthy investors, yet when we do get a few we usually find a reason to criticize them. What a strange bunch we are! 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a fantastic gesture from Leigh. Can't understand from some on here the problem people have with Derek Beaumont his hearts in the right place. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would love Beaumont to take over at Broncos once Hughesy calls it a day Hands off he's ours BB, local guy made good and he loves the club and community as you can see from this effort, I don't think he could transfer his loyalties elsewhere if his time to relinquish his position happens, hopefully it never does. But saying that if it goes back to a closed shop, and the goal, desire and ambition to get to SL is no more I wouldn't blame him if he walked away, men of his ilk who have that in-built drive need targets to strive for, if it taken away and the challenge is gone whats the point. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
