G4S Events to become new Scotland Supporters Club Sponsor

Written by Smithy on November 9th, 2009

The SFA have announced today that G4S Events has become the new sponsor of the Scotland supporters Club for the next 4 years.

The G4S group of companies bought Rock Steady a few years ago.  Between them they'd been providing security to the SFA for the past 20 years.

Most will remember the Rock Steady stewards as "the Rock Steady Gorillas" for their often brutal security methods at Hampden.  If you waved a flag or had the nerve to stand up you ran the risk of being ejected form the ground.

Gordon Smith commented "The SSC has gone from strength to strength in recent years reaching its highest ever level of membership during 2009. We are committed to continual improvement of the services we offer to Scotland fans and the G4S sponsorship deal is another important step forward in improving the experience. The spirit of the agreement and the way in which G4S have pledged to support the club will be of enormous benefit to us and to the supporters."

I'm not sure what's happening at the SFA at the moment but they sure do seem to be making very odd decisions.

The full press release is on the SFA Website
