We are 50 Norwegians coming over to watch Newcastle - Leeds in April. The match is Friday, which is great, but we are looking for a decent non league match to attend Saturday 15th. It needs to be less then an hour to travel from Newcastle.
Both Gateshead, Blyth Spartans and Darlington are not possible. Gateshead are playing Friday and Spartans and Darlington are playing away. So I found these two alternatives for Saturday 3pm.
South Shields - Morpeth Town, Northern League Division One
Spennymoor Town - Rushall Olympic, Northern Premier League Premier Division
Which one of these matches do you recommend? I know it´s much easier to travel to South Shields, but I think it´s fun to go a bit further out from Newcastle, so thats why Spennymoor is an alternative.
Or do you guys recommend somewhere else? Northern Football League does have a lot of local teams, but I don´t really know if any of the other teams are worth visiting. The quality of the game is not that important. We just need a good place around the stadium to take a drink and just a decent experience overall.
