| Brilliant news! I can't believe there is any Leyther alive who doesn't hold him in the highest esteem.

I know a lot of folk who are Leythers through and through, myself included, but it doesn't qualify me to be elected Chairman.

| Thankfully, Charlie, that's far from being his only qualification.

MR I don't deny his rugby knowledge and Journalistic skills ,I've read a couple of his books but I guess I'm old fashioned ,with guys like Tommy Rathbone and Eammon Mcmannus.

| No mention of the previous incumbent or whether Mike is taking up any shares.
Also notice Allan Rowley no longer a life member.

He also has a Finance background, which is very handy. No need at all for a "traditional" chairman with Derek around. That would just create a "this town isn't big enough for the two of us situation" sooner or later - been there, done that. Mike will get on with the job efficiently and without histrionics...

| Two things here. How come there was no thank you to Michael Norris for his time as Chairman? And if Allan Rowley has been given a life membership, how can that be taken away? Surely, regardless of who gave him the life membership in the first place, (it was Beaumont), it can't be taken away.
As for Latham getting the Chairman's role, that was always going to happen. One thing is for sure, he will never tell Beaumont no will he?

| Back on topic, I have a lot of time for young Mike as a Person , a Gentleman, and as the most sincere and fellow passionate Leigh Rugby League supporter you could ever wish to meet.
I could talk to him about our club for years especially around its formation and the years of 1877 to 1895. Very interesting period indeed.
I could not think of a more knowledgeable person or anyone that would question young Mike's suitability or integrity to fulfil the role in anything other than the professional manner we come to expect of Mike Latham.
An asset to Leigh RLFC. Congratulations my friend.

[i1) How do you know Michael wanted a public Thank you?? He left the post months ago to focus on his business but didn't shout about it.
2) People make mistakes and if knighthoods can be taken away then surely 'life memberships' can also. Life Membership imo should be for the Brian Bowmans and Tommy Colemans or the Fred Parkinsons and Frank Taylors. Folk who give cash in times of crisis (often what they can ill afford to give) or give time without reward to the club they love[/i
[i3) Congratulations Mike Latham, the well being of our club will always take precedent in your heart[/i

Doesn't she just!
You'd expect a young teenager to hold a grudge for a while, but It's baffling and embarrassing from someone old and wise enough to know better.

| Oh dear, this board never changes does it? People openly state on another thread that they want THEIR team to lose games and nothing is said (and in fact some on this thread openly agreed) and you call yourself fans!!
Everyone knows I dislike Beaumont, it's no secret. I'm quite sure he's not keen on me either, so what. I don't know why I need to be bitter, I just don't like the man. Get over it.
