Recent weeks have seen changes at board level of the Official Supporters Club as our two longest serving Directors have moved on.

Kathryn Ward (nee Townsley) joined the board of the OSC as a Director in September 2015, before rising to the role of Chair at the AGM in July 2017. For the next 8 years Kathryn steered the OSC through the choppy waters of changes of ownership and managers at the football club, not to mention the Covid lockdown periods. She handed over the role of Chair to John Drinkall at the AGM of 2025, staying on as vice-chair.

Media Director Alex Green was our second longest board member, being installed as a Director in July 2000. He is replaced as Media Director by Elaine Gutherless.

We can also report that ex-Tiger John Hawley has also decided to step down as a Director, a role he has held since February 2022, though he is staying on as an OSC Officer.

The board of the OSC would like to offer our thanks and appreciation to Kathryn and Alex for all the hard work they have put in in behalf of the OSC and wish them both success in the future.

John Drinkall
Chair / Events Director, Hull City Official Supporters Club
