WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR VISITING SUPPORTERS?
Away fans are located in the large East Stand on one side of the stadium. This stand has a capacity of 4,000, more than ample for most away followings in the National League.
The stand is covered, free of supporting pillars and so fans have an unobstructed view of the playing action. The facilities inside the stand are good, as well as the catering which offers a selection of pies, hot dogs and burgers.
The East Stand is well set back from the pitch, with eight lanes of the athletics track to contend with, before reaching the playing area. Plus with the home fans located in the opposite Main Stand, the atmosphere can be at a premium, unless a large visiting contingent is in town.
.
WHAT IS THE STADIUM LIKE?
The stadium is primarily an athletics stadium. The stadium, which has a bowl-like effect, has a playing surface surrounded by an international standard athletics track.
The Tyne & Wear Main Stand on the west side is a large all seated covered stand, which has a capacity of 3,227. The angle of the stand is quite steep and it has windshields to either side. Although some distance from the pitch, the sight lines are very good. On one side of the Tyne & Wear Stand, there is a two-storey structure which includes a large cafe/bar area, plus corporate and boardroom facilities.
Opposite the Tyne & Wear Stand is the 4,044 capacity East Stand, which is another large-sized bank of seating that is now under cover.
Both ends of the ground are comprised of smaller banks of seating that are open to the elements. These ends are normally not used for football matches.
WHERE TO DRINK?
There is a bar located inside the Main Stand, called the ‘Stadium Bar’ but unfortunately this is for home fans only. Nearby pubs to check out include:
- The Tilley Stone – Unit 9, 10 Jackson St, Gateshead NE8 1EE
- The Travellers Rest – 1-2 Southend Rd, Gateshead NE9 6QL
- The Portland Arms – 5-7 Split Crow Rd, Felling, Gateshead NE10 9HL
DIRECTIONS AND CAR PARKING
From the South (Quickest route)
At the end of the A1(M) Junction 65, take the A194(M) towards South Shields. At the end of the A194(M) take the A184 towards Gateshead. The stadium is situated three miles further along this road on the right hand side.
From the South (Taking in the Angel of the North)
Leave the A1 at the A167 turn off and take the A167 towards Gateshead South. You will pass the Angel of the North on your left hand side. On reaching the large roundabout at the junction with the A184, turn right onto the A184 itself. The stadium is further down the A184 on the left hand side.
Car Parking
There are three car parks at the stadium which are free to use.
.
BY TRAIN
The stadium has its own Metro stop called Gateshead Stadium, which is a five-minute walk away. This stop is around a ten minute journey away from Newcastle Central railway station, which is also the nearest mainline station.
