BEAUMONT'S FRUSTRATION WITH WIGAN
By STEPHEN IBBETSON
THE build-up to the Super League semi-finals was dominated by Derek Beaumont's threat to withdraw Leigh Leopards from their tie over a ticket row with hosts Wigan Warriors.
The dispute arose from Leigh only being allocated the North Stand of The Brick Community Stadium for its supporters.
Wigan, who made the affair public, said this was “determined by the independent Safety Advisory Group and our Ground Safety Officer, following consultation with the police”, and “endorsed” by Super League.
