From a Boro - football point of view - I am hoping this will not have a detrimental consequence to getting fans into the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) for the Riverside. This group of police, Council, emergency services and football club will make the final decisions about how exactly we return to the Riverside as fans. The government will issue a decree but the SAG will have the authority to issue all the regulations and restrictions - that could mean things like whether food or drink can be sold outside the ground etc. They have a lot of power and discretion as well, for instance at Plymouth they decreed that the same person had to sit on the same seat through this season - obviously they did not have many games with fans in the end but can you imagine what impact that would have. So, hopefully the new head will welcome and not veto fan representation.
Also, the last commissioner was really good at assisting in any online racism reported. I hope this situation doesn't change.
