I am from Gateshead and would certainly try to attend as many games as possible when NUFC aren't playing. I have been to 3 games this year , York Away , Luton Away and Oxford Away and it's been great banter every game. Great set of fans who follow the club all over.
I really do hope they manage to maintain themselves in the league there in now for a couple of years , then hopefully push for the FL. New stadium is on the horizon , and a new influx of money from a very proud Graham Wood.
