Hyde United Football Club attracts large levels of interest generated through Social Media, in particular Twitter with over 30k followers. These figures are all the more remarkable given the fact that only relatively small numbers come to matches compared to these figures. The Club knows that there is now a massive local and national interest in Hyde United and is seeking to introduce local businesses to our followers and website viewers over the coming months and years as we attempt to increase attendance.
Further details of the position are available in the “Commercial-Manager-Specs” which contains Person and Job specifications.
