Can see there being any changes from last Saturday aside from Williams in for Richman.
Gateshead 0-1 Alty. Hulme
-
Don't do well there, do we?
Take a point.
1-1 Jones from a corner.

Ricky Harris did well for us on my last visit :)

The last and only previous visit I made, we lost 1-0. Michael Rankine scored. And of course subsequently joined us.

Been a few times. Dreadful ground to watch a game in.
We'll not lose.

Match report from the Gateshead perspective:

I think that's a fair summary. We diidn't reach our usual heights but we were unfortunate with both goals conceded. Gateshead defended well - more like an away team than a home team. I am not sure I ever need to go back there.
-
When was the last time neither Richman or Williams started?
-
We were poor.
Some of their support are either bellends or well trained actors with an ability to portray irony in a northern football space... "your support is f**king sh*t".

Cheers.
Lost then if my memory serves me right

Should have been ahead before Thompson's error gifted them the opener. We were a poor second best after the interval, and although they got lucky when the second goal went off the post onto their guy's shin and rebounded into the net, Gateshead deserved their win.
Lundstram didn't let us down, and could turn out to be a worthwhile loanee, but we missed having one of Williams or Richman out there. Wall put in a decent shift with some good balls played in. On the other hand I thought one of the major problems was at full back. Dens was a long way below his best, and White was barely better.
It was good to see Hannigan get through the full ninety minutes. Mullarkey was streets ahead of anybody else on the pitch.
I thought today's officials were the best we've had this season.
Gateshead are nothing special, as we saw at Moss Lane, but they're firmly in the playoff picture. That only goes to show that this league is of rather a poor standard right now. If we can't get a playoff spot something is badly wrong.

I must miss Mullarkey's better games. Decent player without doubt but personally for me we are much stronger defensively with Jones and Hannigan.
Desperately need another quality winger. Wall is technically good but not the answer.
We really miss Richman, because he goes about his game quietly but is very effectively, people don't see how big of a player he is for us.
Still 3 decent players off.

I am not sure I ever need to go back there.
My thoughts exactly. I thought that I must have entered a potential subject for an episode of 'Abandoned Engineering'. Everyone attending the game was housed in the same stand on the West side of the stadium and it made it appear as if the venue was empty. The large deserted looking East stand is missing it's roof covering but still has the twisted skeletal remains of the metal frame that used to hold it up exposed. The running track around the pitch has seen better days and there were puddles of standing water everywhere. There was also a big dirty looking tarpaulin sheet stretched out across the ground below where we were sat for some unknown reason and whilst many of the seats looked to have been quite recently replaced, many of them were covered with seagull sh*t. Incidentally, It was also bloody freezing!
'Its grim up north'... as it happens grim is a good word to describe our performance. Best leave it at that.

The tarps cover the long jump pit. There is one at the other end, I assume one is for the triple jump?I
I know nowt about athletics, but Olympics apart do spectator numbers justify an 11800 all seater stadium? The place looked well past it.

It was a major athletics venue back in Brendan Foster's day. In 1993, a crowd of almost 15,000 attended a meeting at which Linford Christie competed. The football club would be happy with 10% of that. You can tell it used to be important as it has its own station on the Tyne & Wear Metro. Past it's best now I'm afraid, but better than the massive tip it was built on !

It still is a major athletics venue - I have been there three times to watch Athletics. For the English Schools Championship in 2011 every single seat i the stadium was sold for both days of the event. However for British Athletics League matches, the average crowd (excluding athletes and their coaches) was less than the 71 fans we took yesterday.

My first visit to Gateshead, I guess that’s because of work commitments.
In all honesty, I’ve been to a lot worse venues than this.
We were very poor today, deserved nothing.

I sat next to Jessica Ennis there once. At an athletics meeting just to be clear.

Did you watch any of the athletics?

I'm going to take a guess that he spent the afternoon telling her tales of Matlock away in 1974.
