Rosslyn Park FC

What Rosslyn Park FC does

Rosslyn Park Football Club Limited is a historic English rugby union club founded in 1879 and headquartered at "The Rock" on Priory Lane, Upper Richmond Road in South-West London. The club fields a 1st XV in National League One (the third tier of English rugby) and operates one of the most comprehensive community rugby ecosystems in the country, spanning age groups from "Rugby Pups" (U3s/U4s) through U18 youth teams, plus senior men's sides (The Fours, The Bs, The Nomads, The U22s), women's rugby, and Park Netball Club. In 2026/27 the club is in its 148th season and maintains a three-tier membership model: Playing membership at £22 per month, Non-playing membership from £97 per annum, and Minis & Youth family membership from £230 per annum.

The business model is diversified across seven revenue streams: recurring membership subscriptions; matchday ticketing sold via TicketCo and Fixr; corporate sponsorship packages (player sponsorship at £450+VAT, matchday sponsorship at £1,500+VAT, digital advertising); facility hire of the Ripley Bar (capacity 150+ at £650+VAT for six hours) and Obolensky Bar (capacity 60 at £500+VAT), plus 4G pitch bookings; on-site bar and hospitality operations; events including the London Floodlit 7s and the Howden Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens; and merchandise sold through partner Halbro. Corporate partnerships span BMS Group (insurance), Savills (property), Roehampton Club (hospitality), Warrener Stewart (accountancy), Gilbert (rugby equipment), Sambrooks Brewery (beer), and Howden (title sponsor).

Underlying operations rely on standard third-party SaaS tooling rather than proprietary technology: Stripe for payment processing, TicketCo for event ticketing, Love Admin for membership administration, MailChimp for email communications, and Google Analytics for web analytics. Community engagement is delivered through a Community Project Manager, free Thursday evening coaching sessions led by the 1st Team head coach, school club partnerships, and holiday camps. The club is a private limited company (registered number 28394R) with no external private equity or venture capital backing, governed by a Managing & Sporting Director, a Managing Director, Company Secretary, and committee structure including a President, Youth Chairman, Minis Chairman, and Club Safeguarding Officer.
