Help Needed
The new website is nearing completion but need help with my Manchester City page. I am looking for someone who can give me information about the reserves. I mailed the City website but thus far have not had a response, so if you know of anyone who can supply info please mail me via ade@i12.com any contributions will be accredited.
New Website Sponsor/s
Due to increased costs in the operation of the new Hyde United website I am looking for a sponsor or sponsors.
The current website was created in November 1998 and in its first year gained 4 thousand visits. In the second year this figure increased to 15 thousand hits and in the first 9 months of of year three has had a further 12.5 thousand hits making a total of 27.5 thousand.
The sponsor would have a banner, plus links to their own site from the main Hyde United page and also the same would apply for emails sent from the site. If the sponsor requires a web page this could be created by negotiation.
For further information please contact me via ade@i12.com

New Commercial Manager Amanda Goodall
Well,
I’m coming up to my fourth, very busy week with the club now and it’s time I
introduced myself officially.
For
those of you that have already met me you’ll probably have a good idea of what
I would like to achieve for the club and if you’ve read the Advertiser this
week then you’re starting to get the picture.
I’ve
spent the first few weeks finding my feet and clearing out the commercial
office! There has been so much to pull together and learn and it’s a bit
different to the motor trade!!
There
is a brochure now for the club detailing sponsorship packages, club information
and it’s facilities. To obtain a copy of this brochure, please contact me at
the club.
As
you may or may not be aware, last year was a terrible year for the club. We
missed out on £25,000, a desperately needed input into the club and suffered
the loss of our long-standing and well loved Secretary and Commercial Manager,
Ray Stanley, who died suddenly and unexpectedly.
The
club managed, but didn’t reach it’s potential due to the lack of cash input
and low morale generated with Ray’s death.
This
has now been addressed and I’d like to introduce myself as the new Commercial
Manager for the club. Our aim this season is to pull ourselves back together and
make Hyde United the focal point of the community that it always was. Our
facilities at the club and our ground are far superior to any club in the area
and Hyde United has so much to offer…
Our
gate figure last year was 25,000: This is by no means a maximum and this season,
we are working closely with local schools and other associations such as the
Rotary Club to entice new people to the club and bring back some that had just
stopped supporting.
So,
we are starting a new season with a fresh start and I am looking forward to your
support. Already I have created relationships with Clarendon Square Shopping
Centre and The Rotary Club and I’d like to thank Steve Bowker, John Miller,
Paul ? and Gus for gallantly volunteering to stand in as goalkeepers at our
“Beat The Goalie” competition at the recent Gee Cross Fete. (Not forgetting
Mike Tansella for helping me organise the day). “Beat the Goalie” was a huge
success and really helped put the word out about Hyde United, not only did we
raise money for the club, but we recruited a few more supporters.
Since embarking on this adventure I’ve been able to generate lots of new ideas
and fund raising areas, but unfortunately at the end of
the day, none of it will be possible without volunteers and support, so if you
would like to spare a couple of hours a week,
please call me and let me know how you would like to contribute your time.
This
is my first role that I am undertaking in the world of football and I will be
relying on your support. And with two weeks to go until our first match there is
still a lot to do and plenty of knocking on doors for sponsorship. If you would
like to sponsor Hyde United or know anyone that would be interested please
contact me for details.
So
no doubt I’ll meet you all soon. Primarily on Match days, my role will be to
entertain the sponsors in the Peter O’Brien
Lounge, but I will make every effort to get out and about during the game, so
feel free to approach me if you have any burning issues and until then…
I’m waiting to hearing YOUR views and ideas…
Regards,
Amanda.

you have any views or can help Amanda in any way email me at
