History of the Club
Gateshead was reformed in 1977, this time asGateshead FC. The club were immediately accepted into the Northern Premier League. By this time, their home ground, the Gateshead Youth Stadium, had been upgraded and renamed as Gateshead International Stadium with facilities good enough for a higher grade of football. After six years of consolidation, Gateshead won promotion from the Northern Premier League to the Alliance Premier League in 1983, with a record tally of points and goals scored. With a relatively lucrative sponsorship, Gateshead spent several seasons in the Football Conference. However the sponsorship money dried up, and the club started to decline, spending the 2003/04 season in the Northern Premier League North. A 6th-place finish was enough to gain promotion to the Premier Division due to the restructuring of the National League System.
Gateshead finished the 2008/09 season in the Conference North in second (2nd) place. They qualified for the play-offs along with Alfreton Town,Telford United and their semi-final opponents Southport. Gateshead beat Southport 2–1 on aggregateand won the Play-Off Final 1–0 against Telford, earning promotion back to the Conference Premier where they remain.
Gateshead announced on 13 October 2009 that they would be moving to a full-time employed playing squad for the beginning of the 2010–2011 season.
On 10 December 2012, manager Ian Bogie and assistant Terry Mitchell were relieved of their duties at the club. Reserve team manager Anth Smith named caretaker manager.Three days later, Smith was named permanent manager and given a contract until the end of the 2012–13 season.On 18 August 2013,David Rush,Smith's assistant, was named as caretaker manager after his resignation,before former York City manager Gary Mills was appointed on 3 September 2013.Mills took Gateshead to third place in the Conference at the end of his first season as manager, qualifying the team for the end-of-season promotion play-offs. An aggregate win over Grimsby Town took Gateshead to their first appearance at Wembley Stadium. However, on 18 May 2014, they lost 2–1 to Cambridge United, who were promoted back into the Football League after a nine-season absence.
GAME SETUP
Ive loaded English Leagues down to Vanarama North/South as well as adding Austrailia,Austria,Belgium,Israel,Italy,Scotland,Spain,USA and Wales all as View Only top 2 Divisions, just to add a bit of variety to the DB giving me a total of 50k players.
CLUB PROFILE- Professional Club from the North East of England with a local reputation.
FINANCES- Okay,but not really a lot to work with in all honesty
MANAGER PROFILE- Ive started off Sunday League reputation with no coaching badges,try keep it as realistic as possible.
FACILITIES- A decent sized more than adequate 11,800 stadium for this level and training facilities are adequate at best probably try get them improved in the near future.

SQUAD- A few decent players,but i'll be looking to bring my own guys in where possible.

TACTICS- Im going to use a 4-1-2-2-1 setup with an anchor man protecting the 2 centre backs,2 centre mids,2 wingers and an advanced forward up front.
