Bill Beaumont Backs Stadium Campaign
Bill Beaumont CBE (left), former Captain of the England Rugby Union team, the British Lions and the BBC programme ‘A Question of Sport’ has backed the campaign for a community stadium in York.
On a recent visit to York to speak at a dinner for the Wooden Spoon, the children’s charity of rugby, Bill Beaumont discussed the stadium campaign with Simon Mallett, a member of the steering committee of the Campaign for a Community Stadium.
Simon Mallett said: “Bill Beaumont knew about the current set-up at Bootham Crescent and the Huntington Stadium and thought a combined stadium with community facilities was the way forward for the clubs and the city. He wholeheartedly backed the campaign.”
