BigAl&Toby Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 The ongoing hoo ha about standing or sitting and occupying the seat that’s printed on your ticket got me thinking.... Anyone know who the SAG/s are? What qualifications do you need to have to be one? Do they get paid? By whom? Or is what they look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 It's normally representatives of the local authority, police, fire brigade, ambulance service.

So not a mythical creature after all then. Anyone know why information is limited. Or who the actual SAG is? Or why their view might differ from someone else’s? I guess the SAG at the Etihad must’ve taken a different view. And has any representation from a BCFC supporters group ever been invited or attended? Or like they who attend that building at the bottom of Park Street wearing their aprons is it a bit of a secret society? Who are these people?

I'm guessing no. Correct, no! Their national supervisory body, the Sports Ground Safety Authority, recommends that SAGs have supporter representation. Ours, despite repeated requests to do this, has to date declined to do so. A number of SAGs around the country also ensure transparency by publishing the minutes of their meetings. Our does not do so and refuses FOI requests for details of matters discussed. It is anything but supporter-friendly or transparent. @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO, I'm sure you will agree that it is high time our SAG changed its approach! Can you assist with this? What have they got to hide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Quite why a public body whose single concern is safety should be so secretive and refuse FOI requests is both concerning and somewhat sinister. What on earth would they have to hide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
