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.
