As much as I am thankful that he had a part in the takeover, I am even more grateful that he stayed with us after we got relegated and then took us back up, as champions too. No promotion, no takeover.
I suggested this the day the takeover went through. Get Gateshead up to Premier League reauirements at the very least. Could increase the capacity and then reduce it to a suitable number for Gatesheas to use for multiple purposeswhen we we're ready to move in to our new stadium. Win-win situation for them and us.
Europa as it gets you into the Champions League. FA Cup just for nostalgic purpose but having the final a week before the league season ends has put me off a bit.
If we do go for a new stadium on Leazes Park, would it still be visible across the city? Or would it need some kind of Wembley arch/feature to be seen?
