Hyde United F.C.

They played on a field near the Bankfield Hotel, until 1898 when they moved to Townend Street and set up a club headquarters at the Gardeners Arms pub.

[6] with Peter Wragg as manager, also reaching the Northern Premier League Cup final— only to lose on penalties to South Liverpool.

[6] In 1986, as a result of the changes introduced following the Bradford City stadium fire, the club, in conjunction with Tameside MBC, erected a new main stand and laid a baspoturf pitch.

[2] In 1993, Pete O'Brien was appointed manager for a second time, but only remained in charge until the end of the season, when he resigned to take-over at Droylsden.

[8] During the 1995–96 season, Ewen Fields' astroturf pitch was relaid in grass,[2] then played host to another FA Trophy semi-final, this time against Northwich Victoria.

[12] Following his departure, Hyde gave the job to former Leigh boss Steve Waywell, though he could not prevent the club's relegation to the Northern Premier League Division One in 2003.

[14] During their first season in the Conference North league, the Tigers started slowly, but a run of better results mid-season saw them finishing 11th, with 56 points from 42 games.

[17] Hyde finished the season in 20th place and faced relegation, only to be spared when King's Lynn were demoted for failing to ensure that their home ground met Conference North standards.

Over the following few days, major efforts by club officials, supporters and players, which included a bucket collection at a Manchester City Premier League match, raised sufficient funds to lodge an appeal against the High Court decision.

This was heard on 30 September 2009, and the original winding-up order was rescinded, with Leicestershire businessman John Manship stepping in as owner.

[22] In the second half of the season, club chairman Steve Hartley and secretary Tony Beard both resigned from the board,[23] and this was later followed by the sacking of manager Neil Tolson.

Tolson was replaced by Scott McNiven and Steve Halford, who acted as joint player-caretaker managers,[24] and Hyde escaped relegation on the last day of the season.

On the back of this incredible start, Hyde finished the season as Conference North champions following a 4–1 win over Boston United in their last home match of the season, gaining promotion to the Conference Premier for the first time and breaking the club's record for the highest points total in their history with 90 points.

[28] Following the end of the season manager Gary Lowe and assistant Martyn Booty resigned,[29] to be replaced by Scott McNiven and Gavin McCann, respectively.

[35] Lowe was not able to overturn Hyde's slump at the bottom of the table, with the club picking up just ten points in their remaining 17 league games, sealing their fate for a second successive relegation.

[36] Lowe would remain at the helm as Hyde returned to the Northern Premier League after ten years in the Football Conference.

Hours later, Hyde confirmed the appointment of former Oldham Athletic and FC Halifax Town boss Darren Kelly as interim manager.

[42] Despite their drop to the 8th tier of English football, Hyde made the decision to keep Kelly on board, appointing him to the manager position on a permanent basis.

[43] In May 2019, having guided Hyde to a comfortable 10th-placed finish for the 2018-19 campaign, Kelly made the decision to step aside from his position to take up a new role as the club's sporting director.

[44] As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hyde's season was cut short following the announcement that all competitions below the National League would be abandoned on 26 March 2020.

[44] On 15 February 2022, with the club looming over the relegation zone, Hyde took the decision to relieve Gannon of his duties as first-team manager.

In June 2024, former player Jindřich Staněk (played on loan in the second half of the 2014–15 season), became starting goalkeeper for the Czech Republic national football team at UEFA Euro 2024.

The club also announced that the supplier of the kit for 2011–12 was Pelada and the shirt sponsor would stay the same for the third season running, City in the Community.
