Big shame for Gateshead if it’s come to this…<br><br>I would imagine it will be too late (with fixtures published etc) to arrange a replacement and that we may run with one team less in the league this year.

Why remove it? this is not an official statement this is a fans forum to chat, gossip, talk about rumours, wind up etc… next thing you will be suspending the thing like some other club did. We wish Gateshead all the best in their plight just as we did with runcorn a couple of years ago when it was posted that they had gone bust, no overreaction then.
Well, It is all over their message board and most clubs in our league and the surronding. They said they had gone bust and that their website hadn’t been updated. The unibond website isn’t regularly updated in the off-season so I presumed it correct.
cmon CHAD, thats goin a bit far isnt it?<br><br>nobody was happy about gatesheads problems but were just interested and concerned about the situation- totaly agree wiv jac on this<br><br>we need more banter on this forum in my opinion- matchday prog. was just telling us what he had heard which is fair enough, he even came on and corrected the situation when he learnt more about it- no harm done at all<br><br>if people do believe everything they read on a fans forum n take everything to heart then thats just more fool them
No need to remove this thread as the details have now been released on Gateheads Offical Website see below.<br><br>It’s not sounding good for them - estimates are they have to find ?40,000 before the start of the season.<br><br>Good Luck to Derek Bell and Gateshead FC.<br><br>[url]http://www.gateshead-fc.com/news2.php?i=241[/url]
