'''Gateshead Football Club''' is a professional [[association football]] club based in [[Gateshead]], Tyne and Wear, England. The club competes in the {{English football updater|Gateshea}}, the fifth level of the [[English football league system]], and play their home matches at the [[Gateshead International Stadium]].

Established in 1977 after [[Gateshead United F.C.|Gateshead United]] folded, the club are known as the "Tynesiders" or the "Heed". There had been a [[Gateshead A.F.C.]] in the [[English Football League|Football League]] from 1930 to 1960, which had folded before Gateshead United had been established. The current incarnation of the club began life in the [[Northern Premier League]], winning Premier Division titles in the 1982–83 and 1985–86 seasons. However they were relegated from the [[National League (English football)|Football Conference]] in 1984 and 1987. They secured promotion back to the Conference at the end of the 1989–90 season, though would remain there until another relegation in 1998. The club were further relegated from the Northern Premier League Premier Division in 2003. They won the First Division play-offs in 2004 and the Premier Division play-offs in 2008, before winning promotion from the [[Conference North]] with a second-placed finish in 2008–09. Gateshead spent the next decade in the top-flight of English football's non-League system, losing a play-off final in [[2014 Conference Premier play-off final|2014]], before they were demoted to the National League North in 2019 due to financial irregularities. They returned to the National League after winning the National League North in 2021–22. They won their first [[FA Trophy]] title in the [[2023–24 FA Trophy|2023–24]] season having finished as runners-up in the previous competition.

==History==
The original [[Gateshead A.F.C.|Gateshead club]] was formed in 1899 as South Shields Adelaide and became members of the [[English Football League|Football League]] in 1919. In 1930 financial problems saw the club moved to Gateshead, where they adopted the name of their new town.<ref name=H>{{cite web|url=https://gateshead-fc.com/our-club/our-history/ |title=Our History |website=Gateshead F.C. |access-date=11 June 2023}}</ref> However, the club was voted out of the Football League in 1960 and folded in 1973. History repeated itself as the South Shields club formed to replace the original one was also moved to Gateshead, becoming [[Gateshead United F.C.|Gateshead United]] in 1974. However, they were dissolved at the end of the [[1976–77 Northern Premier League|1976–77 season]]. A new club was established, taking over from United in the [[Northern Premier League]].<ref name=H/> After three seasons in the bottom half of the table, they finished eleventh in [[1980–81 Northern Premier League|1980–81]], also reaching the first round of the [[FA Cup]] for the first time, losing 1–0 at [[Lincoln City F.C.|Lincoln City]]. The club finished fourth in the league the [[1981–82 Northern Premier League|following season]].<ref name=FCHD/>

The [[1982–83 Northern Premier League|1982–83 season]] saw Gateshead win the Northern Premier League with a record points tally (100), scoring 114 goals in the process.<ref name=H/> As a result, the club were promoted to the [[National League (English football)|Alliance Premier League]]. After a sixteenth-place finish in their [[1983–84 Alliance Premier League|first season]] in the league, they finished second-from-bottom in [[1984–85 Alliance Premier League|1984–85]] and were relegated back to the Northern Premier League.<ref name=FCHD>{{fchd|id=GATESHEA|name=Gateshead}}</ref> The [[1985–86 Northern Premier League|following season]] saw the club win the Northern Premier League title and the league's Challenge Shield,<ref name=CIC>{{cite news|url=https://gateshead-fc.com/our-club/contact-us/|title=Club information and contacts|newspaper=Gateshead Fc}}</ref> earning an immediate return to the (now renamed) [[National League (English football)|Football Conference]]. However, they lasted only [[1986–87 Football Conference|one season]] in the Conference, and were relegated back to the Northern Premier League after finishing bottom of the table.<ref name=FCHD/>

With the Northern Premier League having gained a second division, Gateshead became members of its Premier Division upon their return to the league. They finished eighteenth in [[1987–88 Northern Premier League|1987–88]] and second-from-bottom the [[1988–89 Northern Premier League|following season]], but avoided relegation to Division One as no team was relegated to the league from the Conference. After this reprieve, the club were runners-up in [[1989–90 Northern Premier League|1989–90]] and were promoted back to the Conference,<ref name=FCHD/> as champions [[Colne Dynamoes F.C.|Colne Dynamoes]] were ineligible for promotion. The following seven seasons saw them in mid-table every season, but after finishing in the relegation zone in [[1997–98 Football Conference|1997–98]], they returned to the Northern Premier League.<ref name=FCHD/>

After two top-five finishes following their return, Gateshead finished in mid-table in [[2000–01 Northern Premier League|2000–01]] and [[2001–02 Northern Premier League|2001–02]].<ref name=FCHD/> Although they were relegated to Division One at the end of the 2002–03 season,<ref name=FCHD/> a sixth-place finish in 2003–04 was sufficient to secure a return to the Premier Division due to the creation of the [[National League North|Conference North]] and [[National League South|South]] leading to many clubs leaving the Premier Division. A third-place finish in the Premier Division in 2007–08 saw the club qualify for the promotion play-offs, and after defeating [[Eastwood Town F.C.|Eastwood Town]] 4–0 in the semi-finals, they beat [[Buxton F.C.|Buxton]] 2–0 in the final to earn promotion to the Conference North.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fchd.info/lghist/npl2008.htm |title=2007–08 Northern Premier League |website=Football Club History Database}}</ref>

In the 2008–09 season, Gateshead were Conference North runners-up.<ref name=FCHD/> In the subsequent play-offs, they beat [[Southport F.C.|Southport]] 2–1 on aggregate in the semi-finals, before a 1–0 win over [[A.F.C. Telford United|AFC Telford United]] in the final saw them promoted to the Conference National.<ref name=FCHD/> The club adopted a full-time squad for the first time for the 2010–11 season.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gateshead-fc.com/2760/gateshead-confirm-ian-bogie-as-full-time-manager |title=Gateshead confirm Ian Bogie as full time manager |first=Jeff |last=Bowron |website=Gateshead F.C. |date=28 April 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120826101752/http://www.gateshead-fc.com/2760/gateshead-confirm-ian-bogie-as-full-time-manager |archive-date=26 August 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2013–14, the club finished third in the league, qualifying for the promotion play-offs.

==Colours and crest==
The club initially played in all red strip with a white and blue vertical slash on the shirt. Gateshead continued to play in odd-coloured variations until the mid-1980s, when the club changed to the colours of the previous [[Gateshead A.F.C.|Gateshead]] incarnation – white shirt, black shorts and socks – and have played in these same colours ever since. Since 2011, Gateshead has adopted their original colours of claret and blue as the club's away strip.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}}

The club's crest incorporates an image of the statue the [[Angel of the North]].<ref>[https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/gallery/passionate-people-passionate-places-angel-19358128 Passionate People, Passionate Places: Our Angel of the North] Chronicle Live, 6 December 2020</ref>

==Stadium==
The club have played at the [[Gateshead International Stadium]] since their establishment. The record attendance of 11,750 was set in a 1995 friendly match with [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]].<ref name=NLCD2017/>

[[File:Gateshead FC New Stadium Graphic.jpg|thumb|The stadium planned in 2009]]

On 28 October 2009, Gateshead unveiled plans for a new 8,000 capacity stadium to be built in the town centre, opposite the [[Gateshead Civic Centre]], formerly the home of North Durham Cricket & Rugby Club.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100217172752/http://www.gateshead-fc.com/2475/gateshead-fc-unveil-new-stadium-site Gateshead FC unveil new stadium site] Gateshead F.C., 28 October 2009</ref> However, after the failure of England's bids to host the [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] in 2018 or 2022, the stadium, which would have acted as a training base for teams playing at nearby [[St James' Park]], was put on hold indefinitely. In 2014, it was reported that chairman Graham Wood "no longer considers a new purpose-built football ground vital to the future of Gateshead Football Club".<ref>[http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/book-reveals-gateshead-fc-might-7514072 Book reveals Gateshead might ditch new stadium plans] Chronicle Live, 27 July 2014</ref> In December 2015, the club's new owner, Richard Bennett, announced that the club had restarted the search for a new stadium location, although he described the International Stadium as "fabulous".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Brown |first1=Steve |title=Gateshead have restarted the search for a new home, says Tynesiders owner Richard Bennett |url=http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gateshead-restarted-search-new-home-10589431 |access-date=4 October 2020 |website=Chronicle Live |date=13 December 2015}}</ref> Despite Gateshead qualifying for the National League play-offs in [[2023–24 National League|2023–24]], they were excluded due to [[Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead#Governance|Gateshead Council]] failing to grant the club a ten-year security of tenure for the International Stadium, which is required for all teams that apply for EFL membership from the National League.<ref>{{cite news |title=Gateshead barred from National League play-offs over ground lease |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68869062 |access-date=21 April 2024 |work=[[BBC Sport]] |date=21 April 2024}}</ref>
