On the main news forum also. Quite sure the game will go ahead though. 

Seems a bit silly, to say the least.

Mr. Beaumont up to his usual tricks.

Just one normal day in rugby league. Please. That’s all I ask

10.37pm. He'll have had a few and fired off a tantrum via email. He'll wake up this afternoon with a thick head and say he did it to promote the game and he's playing 3D chess.

Incredible stuff

Honestly no words

‘Taking the attention away from the team’

It's stuff like this that means that the days of Leigh's current success are numbered. He's just too volatile.

Who sells 4600 tickets, then says they won't fulfil the fixture just because they want a few hundred more?! Sheer madness.

[Bull Mania]

I have a soft spot for Beaumont, bar some of his antics, but what in the actual world!

The RFL need to come down on this like a ton of bricks.

[WN83]

Wow!

Christ that’s embarrassing

He seems to have basically made himself the main man, with Nigel Wood sat on his wrist, so he'll be ok. 

The game will go ahead, no doubt about it. I'm putting it in the mind games camp alongside the sickness bug going through Leigh's squad.

I agree.

This is why Leigh fans need a far stronger voice in the direction of the club. Its far too much influence in one (volatile) man's hands. He's already trying to tie the club into him even more with Debeau as far as folk can tell.

For all I think about the leadership of Leeds, they've always been professional. This is properly embarrassing stuff but he thinks he is king of all he sees and operates like that.

[Leyther_Matt]

Nothing to see here, it’s all a scam from Wigan to harvest IMG points

[RidingPie]

Sure it's just mind games. 

[JohnM]

This has to be a wind-up, surely. No one could be so stupid, could they? No doubt the Leigh massive on here will think it is great, just banter. 

Who will rid us of this odious man? 

[EastLondonMike]

I find it disrespectful on so many levels. And just plain embarrassing.

We all know the game will go ahead.

Who are the Leigh massive on here that will think it's just banter?

[Tommygilf]

Note it was DB directly not the Leigh club.

Is there an owners code of conduct? 

I'd make him come on sky and apologise to Wigan, the broadcaster and the sport for his antics.

I'm just staggered. I wonder what Adrian Lam and the players think of it this morning? They clearly won't have been informed as Derek ran out of booze and logged into his email.

He probably re-wrote it in the recent owners meeting.

My god Derek what have you done lad ?

We will be the laughing stock of the RL world.

Wakey back in now.
