Mission

   

Welcome to FOSRS

The Scottish Rugby Union is a professional organisation.  It is dependent on the paying supporter for a significant source of its income.  Without that financial participation, the SRU will not be able to satisfy the professional needs of the sport in Scotland and will not achieve what it exists for – the success of the national team.

FOSRS, as a body representing the views of supporters of all levels of Scottish rugby, aims to ensure that its opinions on the direction in which the SRU is headed, and the way it is going there, are received and acted upon by the SRU.
