If you are making the journey to Northampton on the 9th of December, the Ospreys Supporters Cub will be meeting in the Thomas A Becket pub located on St James Road and only a short walk from the ground. We have met up at this venue on previous trips to Northampton and have always enjoyed a warm welcome.
Based on site in a heated marquee, there will be a Guinness Village open from 1:30pm on match day. There is a full outdoor bar and street food available to purchase through to 8pm. Entertainment in the form of a live band is put on in the Guinness Village from 7pm. In addition to this, pub food from the main menu is served between 12pm and 6pm.
The Thomas A Becket is a rugby pub and all televised games will be shown on their screens. There is also a screen located within the Guinness Village.
The pub sells six varieties of real ale from local and national suppliers, plus a range of craft beers. Real ale lovers amongst you who are members of CAMRA can enjoy a 30% discount.
We look forward to seeing you there before our game at Franklin’s Gardens on the 9th.

A final THANK YOU to Worthington’s for providing the coaches on Saturday. They were a huge success.
So you are not one of the lucky ones going to support the lads away at Exeter and are wondering what shall I do and where shall I watch the game.
You are probably thinking I don’t have BT Sport or wouldn’t it be great to watch with a bunch of other supporters.
Well now if you don’t have BT you can watch the game with like-minded supporters as we have teamed up with The Pavilion (click here to view their website) who will be showing all European Rugby Champions Cup away games for us.
This is a great venue, situated halfway between Neath and Swansea. It has plenty of parking if you wish to drive or if not you can get a train to Neath and taxi over for around £5.
It has everything you need, it is family friendly has several screens to watch the game, fabulous food and of course a well-stocked bar and as an added bonus all season ticket members will receive 10% discount on their food bill (drinks excluded), so ensure you take your season ticket with you.
Sunday lunch is available but will need to be booked in advance and will need to be prior to kick off, contact details are listed in the above link
