Walterbear 557 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Cheers Scott. They are definitely subject to FOI according to government uk website. I’m going to do it anyway. It’ll take about 3 minutes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rangers get further than Celtic I will ask for the amount up to and including Rangers departure. If Celtic go further I will draw stumps at the final point when both were still in the competition. Expenses, non-salaried staff and salaried staff payments, operational costs. If they can’t answer it will be damning on their accounting procedures and their trustworthiness to manage spend and achieve value, if they can answer it will be damning because we will know where all the money went and at that point I would hope that statements from a selection of disadvantaged Rangers fans who can only access BBC for sports coverage can be collated by someone. We will know then in measurable financial terms how some fans are being impacted and also what the BBC are spending to pursue this agenda of disenfranchisement of licence paying Rangers fans who are dependent on responsible and reasonable coverage of their team. I know I will get accused by some of being too reasonable but their actions also impact on opposing teams fans to. For example, Hearts have a sizeable fan base that were also denied any coverage of their team's trip to Ibrox for the match of the weekend in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your request goes well. No licence fee paying Rangers fan is being disenfranchised though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some correspondence with bbc Scotland about the cost of sending Idessane to report on Andy Murray in Melbourne instead of Accies at New Douglas Park when the highly regarded tennis correspondent, Jonathan Overend, was already reporting for the network. They are apparently not subject to FOI. They said Idessane had studied Murray’s career for years, could work the camera himself and was able to get Murray to talk to him when he wouldn’t speak to others so whatever it cost, it was worth it. Doesn’t explain why they sent Annie Maguire before Idessane got the gig. I was pitchside when we played Zeta in Podgorica, Idessane was adorned in an official BBC Celtic UEFA Cup Final in Seville embroidered polo shirt when he interviewed Walter and Barry Ferguson. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be boxes, and boxes, of shirts with "Winners 2008" emblazoned upon them, hidden somewhere within the lower bowel of the storeroom of Pacific Quay. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
