class move, always wondered why we didnt do this sort of thing with Gateshead. Got to be better than hoying them in the reserves / under 18s.

 

To be fair, it is only recently that they have been back in the Conference, which realistically is probably the lowest level you want to be loaning potential Premiership players.

interesting. thought Tavernier would appear vs Stevenage, and i reckon he is capable of playing at a higher level, but it's good to see they'll both be getting football (while probably remaining close enough to train with us every so often/use club facilities). could be the start of a collaboration?

 

:thup:

We lack quality in the wide areas at the minute to stretch teams, and with Nelthorpes daft sending off against York on New Years Day then Edmundsson should get a good chance to show his ability.

 

As mentioned by others, the Conference is a completely different animal to what it was 10 years ago (last time Gateshead were in it). Then you had 1 maybe 2 teams who were full-time, now there's only 3 who are part-time. Most teams that go up in the past few years go on to reach the play-offs of league 2, and there is a raft of recent ex-league clubs struggling to get out the Conference (Luton, York, Darlington, Grimsby, Cambridge, Mansfield, Wrexham, Kidderminster, Rushden) along with the likes of Wimbledon, Crawley (Spending crazy money) & Fleetwood (Spending big money too).

 

It's also a stepping stone for players, right-back Michael Kay who was on-loan from Sunderland for two months earlier this season has now gone on-loan to Tranmere.

Really happy for Gateshead. Hopefully they can push on more with these types of players. Really hope we become their parent club and they get promoted like :thup:

 

Was just about to say this. It would be great if we could regularly send players to them. Would save the players having to move away and it could help a local club move up the leagues.

Spot on Heed, very little between the Conference and League 2 nowadays, and with the lack of football for the reserves lately a good chance for them to get games under their belts at a very competitive level.

They'll be in good hands with Ian Bogie as their gaffer too.
