Quote: bren2k "Got to agree with Vasty on this one - ambition is fine, but it has to be backed up with a proper plan for sustainability and longevity; DB's reaction looks like a dummy-spit, because his plan to buy instant success has failed - and it will doubtless have a huge and deleterious effect on the club he claims to love.

Was 1 year of gloating on the VT worth the long term damage? Surely not.'"


"Proper plan for sustainability", this could be the new mantra of the RFL, instead of finger crossing and gimmicks a046.gif

Quote: vastman "Have to laugh at this comment - you do realise you're about to get the 'Halifax' years, if you think it was worth it then fine. Me I'd rather have had an ambitious bit patient Chairman and just waited for real success to finally come and more importantly stay.

I't's not ambition imho opinion it's just reckless.'"


No it's not, 1 more win and we would have been in 2nd place in the championship. it's not our fault Beaumont is not interested in owning a club, who will operate on a part time basis, which he could quite easily afford to do so.

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover. There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg

If my Auntie had bollox she'd be my uncle.......
David Hughes is the disease that has killed London Broncos as a top flight RL side in my opinion, but I cannot argue against his commitment. His failure to prepare for a future without his millions is like watching a car crash on slow-motion......but his continued fiscal endeavours are the reason I still have a pro rl club to follow when I am back home and the reason that this years trip in a fortnight will probably witness the visit of a SL outfit to the wedding venue in west London we now call home......Derek by comparison shouldn't be mentioned in dispatches......glory hunting idiot who thought SL was the Grail, when in fact, self sufficiency is!

Quote: terrykelly "charming...'"

No. Roger Moore was charming, I on the other hand generally deal in facts and stats and the facts and stats show 8 wins from 42 SL games over 2 seasons and 3,000 missing fans this year compared to last show that Leigh have no place in SL. I'd say the same about London too btw.......some clubs just don't deserve to be there and Derek is just another fan who thought he knew better but didn't......thanks Del, but do us a favour....don't bother next time!
From SL to part-time in 12 short months......you do the math!

Leigh to win challenge cup before 2020 Leigh to reach Grand Final by 2022 Derek to get a queens honour (mbe) by 2025 Oh Leigh oh Leigh oh Leigh //www.tipsterste.fabpage.com/ [quote="Michael_Ward"]Ricky Bibey = cack. He's no good - the lad is huge but couldn't bust through a wet paper bag. He was crap at Wigan, he was crap here, and christ knows why Saints then signed him. Predictably, he was crap there as well.

Quote: joanne callotte "Sorry to be pedantic, but i'm pretty sure he's from Salford, and didn't move to Leigh until he was 11 or 12 years of age.'"

The Beaumont's as a family used to live in Astley, a village between Leigh & Boothstown (Boothstown is in Salford Astley is not) , they first had a UPVC glaziing/conservatory business in Leigh, I know as I used to kick all their s in the Leigh Pool League & a friend lived near them in Astley.

The Beaumont lads are regular working class lads done good & very, very good in DB's case !

That's why things need to change in order to stop Clubs having a free ride. Good luck to ambition when the licensing arrives again.

It's hard to have sympathy for him after watching that isn't it.

Tigers for life!!! Not Just for Superleague!!!:38175.jpg



What will Beaumont do if the following happens?

Toronto beat Fev
Halifax beat Rochdale
Barrow beat London
Leigh beat Sheffield

Leigh will then be in the middle 8's, does his position then become tenable again?
