About Us
OLLERTON STAGS SUPPORTERS CLUB is run by two local
women who are passionate about Mansfield Town F.C (Nicola Walters & Leanne
Gravil).
The main aim of OSSC is to support and promote
Mansfield Town Football Club both on and off the pitch in the form of sponsorship,
fundraising and publicity. Ways we do this include attending Field Mill events
like Open Days, inviting players to Q&A sessions at meetings for our
members and communicating what we've achieved with the club on our website and
in the local media / via social media channels.
During our first decade as the Committee, OSSC have
raised over £25,000 for MTFC by sponsoring players, games, goals and having an
advertising board pitch-side at Field Mill. We have provided essential
equipment for staff including a white lining machine and safety netting for the
Groundsman, held events at Field Mill, and are this season offering money to
fund appropriate pieces of kit for staff and players alike.
We support both the Youth and First team through
player sponsorships and requests for kit / boot funding where possible.
We have attended functions arranged by the football
club such as End of Season Dinners, Ladies Nights & Days at the Races in
York.
We have also arranged our own events both at the
supporters club’s HQ the Ollerton House and at Field Mill, to help generate
money to the club. These have included Music Quiz Nights, Snail Racing, Car
Treasure Hunts, Christmas Wine Tasting and End of Season Parties.
We run travel to most away games with local pick up
and drop off points as well as arranging weekend stays where demand is high
enough. We believe it's essential to use some of our bank balance to subsidise
the cost of travel to games so that more of our members can afford to come
along and cheer the team on.
Another aim for Ollerton Stags is to help out local
charities where and whenever possible with over £1,500 being passed on since we
formed. We work closely with the Edwinstowe Angels who fundraise for Breast
Cancer Campaign and have sponsored members, friends and family who have run
marathons for Children with Leukaemia, Breast Cancer Campaign and more locally
the Queens Medical Centre and Kings Mill Baby Units. We donated money to the Ollerton
Town FC Floodlight Appeal, have organised two five-aside charity days in
conjunction with the ex-fanzine Déjà vu, and held Virgin Vie parties for
Support Dogs and Breast Cancer Campaign.
This season we aim to build on the membership
subscriptions we had last year and the amounts given to MTFC and charity. For
more information on how to join or about the sponsors of Ollerton Stags please
browse this site at your leisure and let us know what you think by commenting
on blogs and articles.
So, all that's left to say is we hope to see you at our meetings or events soon and "COME ON YOU STAGS!"
