Hyde United are not messing about when it comes to showing their support for local NHS workers risking their lives to fight the coronavirus.
The Tigers started saluting the NHS on a giant billboard facing onto a main road near their Belle Vue home this week before people across the UK celebrated carers and key workers on their doorsteps for the fifth week in a row on Thursday night.
Situated along the A57 Hyde Road, the huge sign also reinforces the stay home, stay safe message to protect the NHS and save more lives.
Hyde's initiative is only one of the latest from a host of Northern Premier League clubs since the UK entered lockdown to battle the public health crisis in March.
If you happen to be on the Hyde Road (A57) near Belle Vue you may see us showing our support to our @NHSuk. A Big thank you to @Alightmediauk for the opportunity to do this and for turning it around so quickly. #StayHomeStaySafe #NHS #TogetherAtHome pic.twitter.com/NNpuMqgAjS

It was made possible after the NPL Premier Division club teamed up with the billboard's owners Alight Media to send their message after the advertising giants invited clubs and organisations elsewhere to do the same for the NHS.
Proud to support @MotherwellFC as they use #DOOH to inspire their local community!#NoMatterWhat https://t.co/tPqAn6LKyD
