Didn’t the mags vote them out the league or is that just a myth ? If it’s true you’d think Gateshead fans would despise them

I live in complete denial and I go watch them a few times a season. Definitely supported in the main by mags. Also call themselves wor club, which stinks.
But they're local and if I'm not watching sunderland, I go along and support them anyway. I've learned to mix with mags on occasions

Their attendances go up tenfold when the mags are away.

With short memories as the mags voted against Gateshead being re-elected to the old fourth division after finishing in the bottom 4 Sunderland voted to keep them in the league.
How long ago was that?

From personal experience of attending the odd Gateshead game each season id agree. There’s plenty of Sunderland fans go and watch them now and again also.
They don’t like. As many Sunderland fans as mag fans go to some of their games in my experience.

The original Gateshead club was formed in 1899 as South Shields Adelaide and became members of the Football League in 1919. In 1930 financial problems saw the club moved to Gateshead, where they adopted the name of their new town. However, the club was voted out of the Football League in 1960 and folded in 1973.

Have a crack on with a few of their players, sound lads, so I want them to do well.

Gateshead definitely more mags in my experience. Shields have a higher proportion of Sunlun season card holders attend their games when the lads aren’t playing at home.
Although, that might just be I’ve recognised or know more on the odd occasion I’ve attended.

Thing is and I ve mentioned this before but when I ve been at Gateshead games there’s a few faces I recognise from Sunderland games, however they are all dressed neutrally whereas all the mags stand out as they feel the need to wear their barcode tops 24/7.

Gateshead social media used to mock Sunderland fans whilst licking mags arses

This was from the game where it was torrential and they had to dish out free plastic ponchos to supporters.

Mentioned on the news. I thought it was Robbie Elliott who played for us.

There previous manager, Williamson has done very well. At Gateshead he often could not name a subs bench as he didn’t have enough fit players. To keep Gateshead towards the top under those circumstances. And then he takes MK Dons from mid table into the playoffs.

I’ve never really been tempted or wanted to attend a Gateshead match. I find calling themselves the “heed” is as cringey as mags calling themselves “toon” and always associated them more with Newcastle.
Weird that mags would go and watch them in Newcastle colours like, although they’ve been spotted at plenty of our games doing the same!

Loads of our fans go to Gateshead games
Not sure he’d ever be accepted here mind.
Aye, said this on another thread he’s a very good coach.
