What Hebburn Town FC does

Hebburn Town FC is a semi-professional English football club founded in 1912 and operating as Hebburn Town FC Limited, a private company registered in England and Wales (Company Number 16461358). The club competes at Step 2 of the English football pyramid, with the first team playing home matches at The Trustmark Group Stadium in Hebburn, Tyne & Wear, under the nickname 'The Hornets'. Its core products are the senior first team, the Hebburn Town Juniors youth development pathway that feeds into the first team, and a Community Hub focused on health and wellbeing initiatives; supporting services include matchday ticketing via the Fanbaseclub platform and an online merchandise shop powered by MySportswear. Underlying physical infrastructure centres on the stadium, which is undergoing a major £2 million UK Government-funded redevelopment approved by South Tyneside Council in March 2026, covering a FIFA Pro-certified artificial main pitch, a 3G training pitch, and a new South Stand with changing rooms, offices, gym, and club shop. Revenue is generated through matchday ticket sales at tiered pricing (adults £10, concessions £8, juniors £2, under-12s free), merchandise, and a broad roster of regional corporate sponsors anchored by stadium naming-rights partner Trustmark Roofing and Building alongside Hitachi Construction Machinery, Siemens PLC, and other local businesses. Customer segments are local community members in Hebburn and South Tyneside, junior players and their families, and broader football supporters, all served through direct matchday channels, online ticketing, and a multi-platform social media presence.
