8000 my arse. watched the game 4k max there. Awful ground. fans miles away running track between the pitch and stands. Cambridge average nearly 3k a match , gateshead 800 ppl yes 800. come on cambridge a proper football club unlike the Heed
8114 official attendance at Gateshead apparently, unfortunately the way football is (and the proximity of Newcastle United) they'll probably still get ridiculously low crowds for the football league if they go up. Apparently they only average crowds of about 500 - presumably this is includes away fans.
Football and athletics should not use the same facilities, ever. The set up is all wrong and it never works, it's about as ridiculous as using a cricket ground.
What arrogance. Gateshead are as "proper" a football club as any. The number who attend means nothing. Gateshead are in the final on merit, as are Cambridge.
Gateshead are in process of building there own ground 8000 seats with top of the range facilities so hopefully they will achieve promotion
