I've been to watch Gateshead a few times and the atmosphere is interesting to say the least. There's a hardcore of vociferous supporters but, as Andreos points out, being situated so far away from the action in a ground that is almost empty leads to a sense of surrealism in my view. You're there, but at the same time somewhere else, like an echo of football match as opposed to being at one would be best way I could describe it. There was some talk, a few years back, about building a new ground opposite the Civic Centre on Prince Consort Road. Does anyone know whatever came of that?
I was going to go to the two Berwick Rangers Vs. Rangers matches at Shieldfield last season. Unfortunately, I don't think that opportunity is going to arise again anytime soon.
