Neath-Swansea Osprey's assistant coach Sean Holley caused outrage in a sports forum on Friday night. For the full story and reaction read on

Guests say Holley told the audience at the OCLP in Bryntirion, Bridgend that he was "delighted" with the demise of the Warriors.

But Holley denies making the statement.........

The coach was a guest at the forum along with legends Steve Fenwick and Brynmor Williams, also in attendance were Osprey's Commercial Manager Kevin Lock and Bridgend Supporters Club Chair Simon Green.

The evening was meant to be a celebration of rugby marking Bridgend Athletic's 4 consecutive league promotions.

In response to the 1st question of the night asking for the panels views on the Warriors demise, Holley shocked fellow guest Simon Green.

Green claims Holley said "I don't give a **** about the Warriors, I just don't care because we have benefited with better players and are a better side"

Green said "If there was a potential Ospreys fan in the audience at the start of the night there certainly wasn't afterwards".

Zippy Comment

Oh dear oh dear, Mr Holley may deny the remarks but more than one person has said he has made them, he should come out and make a full public apology for his actions.

It was never going to be an easy task to attract Bridgend fans to the Ospreys, with comments like these it will NEVER happen.
