    Well said Dan, we’ve been seriously let down by Gateshead Council. Gateshead Town centre is a shit hole, they spend nothing on the Town. Closing Gateshead Leisure centre, bowling clubs have had to fold, because they won’t cut the greens. Kids have got nothing to do because of the lack of facilities. Absolute disgrace!

    I feel for you and all the Gateshead fans. Having been to a few games myself this season I've seen the passion and dedication the people of Gateshead have for this football club. A football club is the heart of the community and its a shame the local council can't see that. Hopefully the decision can be overturned because the people of Gateshead deserve better.

    It's sad to say that is it worth the football club continuing to exist when the goal of promotion to the football league has been taken away by our uncaring council. It's a kick in the teeth for the work done by Gateshead supporters when the club were relegated and saved the club from going out business. If someone wanted to build an alternative stadium I'm sure the council would do their best to thwart their efforts. Hang your heads in shame but if Gateshead win the FA trophy the I'm sure the council members will come out of the woodwork to praise the team.

    I raised this with people earlier this season. I could not see how the council could possibly proceed with ownership given the amount the Tories have underfunded the bloc grants to local authorities. It’s not a case that they don’t care, it’s a case that libertarian ideology runs things in the UK now. I despise the Labour Party but it’s not as simple as ‘blaming the council’. Tory and Labour councils are going bankrupt across the UK because of underfunding year on year from central government. Councils simply don’t have the budget for stadiums. As I said earlier in the season I think they are going to sell the ground and I was trying to raise it with people so we could be prepared. Once again, it was the same with Cala, it was either crickets or dafties in denial saying it was all wrong. We need to get prepared for what is to come with the stadium, the council do not have the money to maintain the stadium because of underfunding from central government. It’s not much deeper than that.

Almost what's the point of trying next season (Gateshead) if you even finish in top spot now you know the outcome. Crazy. I've been going to Hartlepool for over 40 years and hartlepool Borough Council won't sell the ground to the club and that stops the owners from investing in ground upgrades etc, a few ex owners have tried to buy to put conference centres and training facilities etc but who can blame them for holding back? They like Gateshead council are like you say quick to jump on the apron strings of success though when it comes along. Up the Heed and all the best

    So I mentioned this whole this in an online discussion group and some came at me saying the council can't give them the lease because they already put enough money into the club, that they play the players and coaching staff wages. They claimed the club wouldn't even be where they are if not for the council money and a lot of the fanbase knows this.
    Is there any truth to this or are they BSing me? They couldn't provide any links to back this up and I can't find anything myself.
    Their argument seemed to just boil down to, it would cost a lot of taxpayers money.

    The EFL are introducing the 10 year tenure rule from the beginning of the 2025/26 season which means had you won promotion you still had a year to negotiate a new lease. Some might say that would be cutting it fine but Newport County are currently playing at Rodney Parade and their lease expires in July of this year. Last summer they only extended their lease by one year. As far as I can see there's no difference between Newport's situation and Gateshead's. If you did join the EFL you might be at risk of expulsion if you didn't secure the lease by next summer but at least you'd be better off financially to either a) pay the council more for the lease or b) secure a lease at a different ground. As a Tranmere supporter whose club sits in the shadows most of the time I wish you well. As a football supporter who despises any decision that impacts on sporting merit, from the Champions League format to grassroots politics I also wish you well. Good luck in any appeal, the more Northern clubs in the EFL the better as far as I'm concerned too. PS, you may have to do a Barnet and try and find your own ground again. PPS could the people in the council who made this decision have their own agenda; are they Newcastle fans?

    Feel for you Dan and all your fellow Gateshead fans. All the hard work you guys have done to qualify for the play offs, playing excellent football, overcoming a player exodus and then been shafted by your local council. The only thing I can think is that they don't want you on a lengthy lease because they have plans for the land. Probably housing or student flats. Keep fighting folks. It took us at York over 20 years to get a community stadium and even now politics are rife. No local authority is interested in football, they are only interested in making money and filling their own pockets. Good luck, I am sure I speak for a lot of fans in the National League wishing you all the best.

    Gateshead need to have their own stadium. Council tax payers should not have to pay for the upkeep of a football league club, not when there is so much pressure everyone with the cost of living crisis.
    I’ve said it before, the only long term solution is to own your own stadium. The current situation is fine for the non league pyramid, but we are talking a professional football club, not a charity.
    Gateshead need to focus on that, things won’t change next season imagine winning the National league, and NOT being allowed to be promoted because you don’t have a stadium to call your own.
