Title: Gateshead
Post by: StocktonRover on April 21, 2024, 08:31:01 pm

Booted out of the National League playoffs due to a ground lease issue.

Must be gutting for the fans, players and club as a whole.

They really make it up as they go along -so by this reckoning should Coventry have been thrown out of the league when they had no ground

And they had no more than 1 and 2 year agreements to play at Northampton and Birmingham!

So if they knew Gateshead couldn’t go up (I believe they had already secured a play off place) why the last minute messages about who was getting a bye

Brighton didn't have a 10 year agreement at the Withdean either.....

I guess Gateshead may have been ok then, had they had an agreeable groundshare set up by the EFL deadline.
