On December 21st 2016 at 14.10 hrs an email was sent from Glasgow City Council to someone at The Rangers Football Club.
I have a redacted copy of that email by way of a Freedom of Information request as previously referenced today.
Here is the full text of that email:
Subject: Safety Advisory Group Meeting – 21 December 2016
Dear [REDACTED]
Ahead of the meeting this afternoon, I thought it would be helpful to provide an overview of the matters to be discussed.
The latest report received is not as technically detailed as we had anticipated. It is mentioned, for example, that further detailed inspections and surveys have been carried out and these appear to raise concerns about the continuing deterioration of the roofs. However, we have not been provided with a comprehensive technical assessment which could allow us to concur with conclusions in the latest report.
It is stated in the latest report provided by [REDACTED] that there is no immediate risk to public safety. However, we need to establish how that conclusion has been reached as we have current safety concerns related to the matters raised in that report.
These issues will be discussed further at the meeting this afternoon.
-Kind regards
[REDACTED]

Dear reader, you will note from the in this email the importance of
“The latest report received is not as technically detailed as we had anticipated”.
Moreover, the author of the email notes that they wish to be appraised as to how the assessment on public safety was arrived at.
“…as we have current safety concerns related to the matters raised in that report.”
As I stated earlier today on this site.
I stand by my original story of last December when I reported that the safety Advisory Group (SAG) had expressed concerns about Ibrox Stadium.
Developing jigsaw puzzle…
While I dislike what they stand for, I hope to god no one gets hurt. We all go to watch our teams , they above all know what tragic consequences can happen when safety is not at its highest . Fascinating reading , unbelievable yet, totally believable .
So Timmy want’s hawd ay ra truth
Whit’s really awry wi ra roof
That Effin Oh Aye
States “hole tae the sky”
n’ bits will be crumblin aff sooth
Corruption runs deep with this shower. Power to you Phil, closer to exposing it all.
Well done Phil. Give them no breathing space.
Keep at them Phil – this is an absolute scandal.
Between the powers that be at Ibrox and the Glasgow City Council, there is a lot of “dragging of heels”.
What has happened since the date of that correspondence (21/12/2016)?
One thing is sure in the months since – the roof hasn’t repaired itself – au contraire.
Most home games at Ibrox are sell-outs (or so we are led to believe). It certainly was packed to the rafters (for a while…) at the weekend.
Do the punters know the risks?
So basically, what they provided to GCC was something along the lines of this;
“Just wanted to advise you that everything is fine at Ibrox and there nothing more you need to concern yourself about. Even though we have been given a report by some experts that they have concerns about the continuing deterioration of the roofs. we don’t agree with their expert opinion. We think everything is fine and the few, wee minor issues that exist are being taken care of by our own maintenance workers. The technical report is not worth wasting your time looking at so that’s why didn’t bother sending to you. If anybody gives you any problems over this just remind them WATP and don’t like people poking their noses into our issues.”
OMG! Keep up the great work Phil. I think this is only the tip of the iceberg that you are uncovering. Cheers!
That sounds about right Peter
Move along Timmy, nothing to see here.
Public safety is everyone’ business but if you remain deluded by the pash that’s fed to you Gullibles, then it’s for Phil and the rest o the Football family to raise these real concerns. Wake up!!!!
