Twitter backlash: The funniest reactions to that AFC Fylde job advert
and live on Freeview channel 276
The advert for the club's General Manager role sparked a fierce backlash on social media, with some saying it appears to discriminate against working parents.
The controversial ad - which appears to have been taken down - has been called 'disgusting', 'brazen' and 'discriminatory', with others say the ad "contains indirect sex discrimination".

“Must be able to demonstrate a flexible approach to work at all times.” But not too flexible obviously…and never leave the grounds of work.

New job alert Delighted to have been appointed General Manager at AFC Fylde. Can't wait to work in an exciting job but also finally get that work life balance right and be able to pick the kids up from school Wednesdays and Fridays.
@rosehillrunner
Good to see this person will be handling your PR. I think you need it!
@lgopfelix
Funniest thing imo about the Fylde job description is it hasn’t been called the “Premiership” for an eternity
