Them stats don't reflect the passion that the fans have. A lot of people seem to think we just sit their in silence, but the last two seasons have been wonderful in terms of chanting etc. Where about's did you get them from? Because last season our average was 998.
Personally I feel the 12/13 attendance of 502 is unbelievable considering we played our home games at Middlesbourgh, Boston, Blyth, York, Carlsile and Barrow.

The stats I provided above are for League Games, so the 8k for the Grimsby Play-Off game is not included...
You only had 2 League games last season were more than 1,000 turned out, v Luton(1,080) and Cambridge(2,916).
But I must say, fair play to Gateshead, not many clubs will be able to say they have increased attendances by around 50%, take the next step and who knows what could happen...I still reckon a new ground will cause a jump in attendance
What kind of attendances do Gateshead need to break-even, I know at Darlington, somewhere round 1,000 is our break-even point, but our attendance has dropped from 1300 to 1100 to just over 1000 this season...
check out non-League matters top 250 attendance table

North East non-League is doing well with 5 teams in the top 100
20th Gateshead with 1,281
26th Darlington with 1,024
42nd Spennymoor with 624
66th Blyth with 449
94th Whitley Bay with 355
Got to admit, the atmosphere has got better at Gateshead over the past few seasons, noticeably over the course of the last 12/18 months.
Historically, they have always lived in the shadows, it is only natural, given the clubs location and league situation.
If you compare the situation to other urban areas, like Manchester, West Yorkshire etc, you can see similar patterns. The more popular clubs are the ones in the higher echelons - Leeds, Bradford, Halifax. Man Utd, Man City, Stockport etc Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead.
It is similar in London too. In all four corners of the city.

No idea, suppose everyone will have their own view.
Trying to think of similar examples and I suppose the most obvious one is Wimbledon or Darlington.
They ain't the same club in the sense that Newcastle or Sunderland are, but represent the people of Wimbledon or Darlington.
Reckon you could compare it loosely to some bands. Totally different, in all but name.
(23 Jan 2015, 10:56 am)Andreos1 No idea, suppose everyone will have their own view.Wimbledon is a thorny issue, most football fans will universally agree AFC Wimbledon are spirit of the old Wimbledon, Milton Keynes can claim to be as well, though for there supporters club to be accepted by the FSF they had to relinquish all ties to Wimbledon and hand all of Wimbledons honours back to Merton Borough Council. And for a short time, there were 2 teams named Wimbledon playing at the same time, till the former Wimbledon changed to MK Dons

(24 Jan 2015, 8:50 am)leestransportphotos Today Gateshead travel to North Wales to face fellow conference side Wrexham later today. In their last meeting, The Heed ran out 3-0 winners at the Racecourse with goals from Marcus Maddison, Jon Shaw and Jamie Chandler.I normally nick Jamie Chandler if I play as a lower league side on Football Manager...Him and Rob Ramshaw are good on the game...

So, Manchester United are the only team in the Premier League top four still in with a chance to go into the fifth round of the FA Cup - who saw Bradford beating Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge? Of course, there is still a Chelsea-signed player in the tournament - he's Patrick Bamford, the guy who scored the opener in Middlesbrough's 2-0 victory at the Eithad.
Bolton and Liverpools Game ended 0-0 at Anfield so theres always a chance Bolton might knock them out!

The Fifth Round Proper draw in full
1 Crystal Palace v Liverpool or Bolton Wanderers
2 Arsenal v Middlesbrough
3 Aston Villa v Leicester City
4 West Bromwich Albion v West Ham United
5 Bradford City v Sunderland or Fulham
6 Blackburn Rovers v Rochdale or Stoke City
7 Derby County v Reading
8 Preston North End or Sheffield United v Cambridge United or Manchester United.
Boro at Arsenal looks a tasty tie and if Sunderland can conquer Fulham, well Bradford away has banana skin written all over it, especially after Saturday at Stamford Bridge...I have a feeling the Bradford may be picked for TV
My predication's for this weekend:
Hull v Newcastle – Hull win
Crystal Palace v Everton – Draw
Liverpool v West Ham – West Ham win
Man Utd v Leicester – Man u Win
Stoke v QPR – Draw
Sunderland v Burnley – Sunderland win
West Brom v Tottenham – Spurs Win
Chelsea v Man City – Man City
Arsenal v Aston Villa – Arsenal win
Southampton v Swansea – Southampton Win
Did anyone watch Aresnal v Aston Villa?
I thought Villa were absolutely horrific. The defending was pitiful, and I thought Gil/Sanchez were crap.
Bellerín for Arsenal was outstanding - he's only 19 or something, and he played outstandingly. Man of the Match in my opinion, as that finish was world class, although he didn't really have anything to defend as Aston Villa were shit.
