Newcastle County Aparthotel is a collection of 18 luxury apartments, including a stunning Penthouse suite in I and my friend travelled up from Halifax which was a short two hours drive the traffic was fine on the motorway and as we approached Gateshead the stadium was clearly signed posted which was a benefit to the travelling support.
Once we were at the ground there was a steward who politely showed us where we needed to park and explained how to get into the stadium. The car park at Gateshead is excellent. There is enough room, it is close to the ground and costs nothing to park there. We travelled straight to the ground and met up with Gateshead fans in the cafeteria area of the stadium who were very welcoming to the ground and were talking about the football. From what I could gather Gateshead staff where mostly run by volunteers and by the way they went on they are a massive credit to the club because I've travelled many grounds and have never come across anyone who treats both home and away fans positively.
You can see the enjoyment they get out of helping the fans which is always great to see. Overall you can't fault the Gateshead fans they want the best for the club even though for a small majority the club is there second club with them supporting even Sunderland or Newcastle and from what I could gather that's why the gate drops one week and suddenly increase the week after. Everyone knows Gateshead FC stadium has a running track around the pitch but let me tell you now that the stadium is very unique because of this and it doesn't spoil your day as some say.
Gateshead stadium is very neat in appearance as well which is a massive credit to everyone at Gateshead especially the groundsman. The game where do we start?
Facilities at Gateshead are decent as well as clean and easy to get to at the game. I think it was something like fans overall turned up to the match so it was very easy to go our separate ways after the match which is a massive bonus. I really enjoyed the day out at Gateshead.
Gateshead are a well good side and deserve to be pushing up the league so hopefully they can get into League 2. I wish them all the best on the current adventure and hopefully we a see them up in the League 2 where they rightly belong in my opinion.
I always have had a soft spot for the hospitality of the people in the North East who really do make visitors feel very welcome. I didn't see anything in the way of pubs near the stadium so I didn't bother with a drink. There were plenty around the railway station in Newcastle though. What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of Gateshead International Stadium?
A very impressive stadium for athletics but for watching football the distance away from the pitch is irritating. If you are going to this ground in the winter my advice is get wrapped up it is a very cold ground mainly due to its huge size and openness.
Not a great deal in the way of atmosphere because of the sheer enormity of the stadiums' size. Halifax scored in the first minute but then seemed to be constantly chasing the game. Against the wind in the second half, they inevitably conceded the equaliser but a draw was a fair result.
I had to get a warm pie and bovril at half time just to thaw out. A short walk back to the metro station which is very convenient for getting around the Newcastle area in plenty of time for my train home.
Ben Dawson Neutral 29th December I was looking forward to this match as I have never watched Gateshead play before but understood how well they have come since the summer which was a very gloomy time for the club.
I live in the area but considering myself to be a Newcastle United fan and this match was perfect for me to go to considering that Newcastle were away at Watford. I got the bus into Gateshead interchange and walk the journey. The journey was much better than I had expected as the walk to the ground was mostly all flat and took me less than 25 minutes. I know you can get a variety of buses down to the ground which runs a frequent service.
On my arrival to the ground there was a massive signpost which advertised the stadium so I knew I was at the right place. Before the match, I spent a small while seating in the cafeteria where there was a small group of Halifax fans who were warmly welcomed into the stadium.
I've travelled around many grounds in many divisions including the Premier League and have never experienced a welcoming atmosphere as much as this match the club has a real family atmosphere and welcomes anybody new or old to Gateshead the more support the better. I respect that there's a lot of hard work which goes into the club and to see volunteers do the work just shows how massive Gateshead football club is to them. As a football fan who has travelled to many grounds Gateshead stadium isn't the best I've been to on appearance but in terms of non-league you can't fault the ground and the effort the groundsman puts into making the pitch look as good as it does.
Gateshead stadium inside is very neat and has that welcoming feeling in every area you visit the club has a match day shop which sells a variety of merchandise such as hats, scarfs, shirts etc. As well as a concourse which sells hot food and a suite for fans to have a pint in which is named after one of the clubs biggest fans if not the biggest fan. The match started off well for a neutral. Just 18 seconds in the former heed striker Preston scores a goal for the visitors.
The game was very even for the rest of the match and in the second half, Gateshead equalised to make it The atmosphere around the ground is unbelievable the best I've ever experienced in terms of football grounds and like I've said I've been to many grounds and never experienced anything like it. It is like you already know everyone at the club and they welcome both new and old to the club as long as you respect them and the club.
A lot of hard work goes into the club both on and off the pitch everything is running great at the club from the point of a neutral which is great in terms of facilities they are as good as a league side. A new experience at a new club for me, which I'll be back to see soon. I fully enjoyed the day. James Hutchinson Neutral 8th January I was looking forward to visiting the Gateshead International Stadium, as I have never visited before.
I've heard many good things about Gateshead FC as a whole from the ground to the home fans so I wanted to experience a match day there. I knew that Gateshead's team form hadn't been the best in recent weeks. This match came against two teams which I wanted to watch this season Gateshead because under Watson they looked to be decent while I watched Solihull Moors on TV in the FA Cup they looked decent as well.
I drove to Gateshead from Carlisle. It only took me a couple of hours, including a break at a service station. The Gateshead ground is easy enough to find as it is clearly guided on their website as well as sign posted in the Gateshead area. When I arrived at Gateshead ground there were a few fans starting to make their way into the stadium so I used the grounds car park which cost me nothing to use.
As the match was an evening kick off, I took the opportunity to visit Newcastle during the afternoon and do some shopping in the city centre. Before I visiting St James' Park for a stadium tour which was decent. I then called into the McDonald's on the way to the ground.
Once I arrived at the ground I asked some Gateshead fans whereabouts the home entrance was and they kindly pointed me into the right direction before we met up in the bar at the stadium and got talking about football. The fans which I came across on the night were very helpful towards me and told me that new faces are always welcomed at Gateshead on a match day. I have never been to the Gateshead International Stadium before and by the looks of photos, I saw it looked more like an athletics venue rather than anything else.
Once I arrived at the ground I could feel the atmosphere pumping in the crowd as the Heed army where chanting and my first impression of the ground was that it looks different for a football stadium. The match was decent; seeing three goals scored in the match as the score ended to Solihull. The atmosphere which the Heed Army generated was excellent you could feel it the moment you walked into the stadium.
Everyone I met at Gateshead where very welcoming towards everyone it has that family atmosphere at the club you can see the potential the club has if more people got behind it from the Gateshead area. Getting away from the ground is easy as the home and away fans are separated, on opposite sides of the pitch.
So by the time the home fans have left, the away fans are just leaving the ground. The car park is on site so it was easy to get out and get away. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out :. Overall I enjoyed my experience and I can see potential that both clubs have especially Gateshead as everyone thought in the summer they would not be around this season. It's a stadium which I will be back to as it offers much more than a Premier League stadium as it more like being part of a family than anything else.
Lewis James Ebbsfleet United 6th April I was looking forward to this game because it was between two sides fighting for a play off spot which added something to play for as well as points. I've travelled far watching Ebbsfleet and also as a neutral covering stadiums from the top flight of English football to the National League but never had the chance to visit the Gateshead International stadium so it was another ground ticked off the list.
The journey to the North East was by train into central Newcastle were we spent Friday night. On matchday, we progressed to Gateshead by foot from Newcastle which took less than an hour passing the iconic areas of the area such as Gateshead Baltic and the bridges. On arrival at Newcastle we checked into our hotel which was based in the city centre not too far away from the major restaurants and pubs etc.
We tried a few places before we came across a place called Alvinos on Pilgrim Street which was relaxed compared to most places which sold a variety of drinks. On Saturday morning I took a walk along the Newcastle side of the River Tyne in order to get to my first pub of the day which beer selection was impressive in terms of both cask and keg.
As I travelled by foot to Gateshead it didn't take to long. The home fans are really friendly despite the behind the scenes drama which seems to be threatening the future of the club.
The fans treated our fans with nothing but respect with many talking to us etc. At the end of the match I was made aware of the protest which the fans had at the ground but sadly couldn't stay to help. I would put the Heed Army high up there with the best fans I've come across very passionate about there club and friendly towards the away fans doesn't happen at the majority of grounds we've been to.
Opposite is another covered stand and behind each goal are seats open to the elements. The capacity is eleven thousand plus but it looks far bigger, perhaps due to the extra space the running track opens up, particularly at each end. Fans are sat a long way from the pitch removing any sort of intimacy with the team in front of you.
Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc. The game was decent. I thought Gateshead were the much better side in the first half and probably deserved to go on and pick up all three points if we hadn't scored. As the whole drama unfolds at Gateshead with their ownership both fans and players remain united with the whole of Gateshead fans chanting throughout the match not aimed towards owners but towards creating a positive atmosphere for their team which is unbelievable given the fact of the clubs current situation.
John Hague Blyth Spartans 26th December The ground at least does have four really nice floodlight pylons so there is so small consolation.
The stadium is easy to find as we approached from the A Parking was on-site and free which is a bonus but we did take the last available slot so maybe get there early. A thoroughly entertaining home win. Thornaby gave the league leaders plenty to think about too. Before the ground, we decided that a McDonald's was in order so we went to the one close by the stadium.
Awful and awful. The only saving grace was the floodlights. Due to having no roof we were allocated the South Terrace which is basically uncovered seating miles from anywhere. I can't comment on the food but I wasn't prepared to pay the extortionate price for a coffee. I'd rather wait. Stewards were okay but we weren't allowed to visit the club shop for a pin badge.
It's hard to get an atmosphere in a ground like this but we did occasionally hear something from the Heed Army and Blyth's Green Army occasionally mustered a response. Apart from Callum Roberts taking on the entire heed defence for a superb opening goal and Robbie Dale's excellent winner the game was pretty dire. It was slow getting out of the car park but once on the road, we were home to Leicester in time for the Leicester City v Liverpool match broadcast on Amazon.
A rare Blyth win and two new grounds. I won't be troubling Gateshead again though that's for sure. Awful place. Jamie Neutral 18th September I was looking forward to this match because I have a very keen interest in non-league football and have watched many non-league sides. Gateshead was a club which I have never had the chance to go and watch, I know that Gateshead has a proud history. The stadium is something which I have heard good and bad things about some say it looks like a European stadium more than an English football ground.
I had to find out for myself. The journey was fairly easy it took about two hours to get from Yorkshire. The Gateshead International Stadium is easy enough to find as it is signed posted as well as been near to the town centre. Car parking was excellent. Gateshead provide free parking for all fans which was a credit especially when you make a very long journey. I traveled up to the North East at lunchtime and got there for roughly two o'clock.
As Gateshead is only on the opposite side of the water to Newcastle I spent most of the time there before I made the journey into Gateshead itself. The home fans were excellent even though the majority seemed to be local youths who were a credit to their club, making the noise didn't cause any trouble etc..
My first impression of seeing the ground was that I could straight away tell it is an athletics ground it has that look about it from the outside. As I walked around to the away end you could see the sports college. One venue, so many possibilities Located just a stone's throw away from the historic Gateshead Quayside, Gateshead International Stadium is renowned for hosting some of the region's largest local, national and international sporting, music and entertainment events.
