  • Our most popular pages are latest news, travel and the OSCA honours board
  • Busiest day on 7th March 2019 when nearly 2000 users visited the site after we made WalesOnline with the headline “Ospreys Supporters Club accuse Scarlets”…(nearly) all publicity is good publicity!

 

Charities

  • YOU have helped us raise  £11k since 2010 – thank you!
  • 19 different causes supported
  • Over £2k raised for AWJ’s Chosen Testimonial Charities

 

Events

  • We’ve organised pre-season meet the coaches and new players at the Pavillion for the past 4 seasons – look out for how we’re going to do that for 2020/21!
  • We’ve organised quiz nights in the Pavillion for the past 3 years – again – look out for how we’re going to manage in 2020/21!
  • We’ve hosted Q&A sessions with Ospreys management
  • We’ve organised Q&A’s to support Alun Wyn Jones’ and Paul James’ testimonial years

 

Committee Members

  • More than 20 supporters have given their time to help run the OSC committee over the first 10 years – thanks to everyone who has helped out over the years
  • Our committee officers represent the Ospreys as part of the Joint Supporters Group with regular meetings with the WRU,Pro Rugby Wales and sometimes even the Pro14! 
  • We’ve only got one life president to date and that’s OSC co-founder Mike Phippen!

 

 

Transport

  • We’ve run 20 bus trips to European games
  • We’ve run bus trips to our derby games in Llanelli, Cardiff and Newport – the annual trip to Parc y Scarlets has definitely seen its ups and downs

 

 

OSC Badges

  • We’ve produced a new OSC badge each year since formation
  • When we have OSCA sponsorship, all profits go to charity

 

 

 

Funding

  • We’ve done all of this without receiving any funding from the Ospreys
  • OSCA sponsorship from South Wales Wood Recycling, Recycle Direct, Gower Brewery and PB Garage Services has allowed us to put on additional events and entertainment in the past – thank you all
