The first sending off was bollocks mind - normally in the conference you can get away with assault so that surprised me. I remember the **** ref from somewhere as well - ****ed over Luton once I believe.

Would have liked to have been there this afternoon, I only caught the last 30mins on TV, but it seemed lively with a cracking atmosphere.
There'll be a good few going to Wembley.
I've been to the game, just got back. Cracking result, good crowd, idiots on the pitch at the end could have caused big trouble but going to Wembley in two weeks time, something I've never done supporting the toon (sadly).
Absolutely Glowers. Had a cracking day. I've met loads of old friends, had a few pints and some cracking banter. The young 'uns ran onto the pitch at the end and spoiled it, there was one kid with a Toon top on and one with a Sunderland top on legging it across the turf toward the Grimsby fans....<and nobody cared Glow>
By the way, love the Heed! <Heed Glow>
P.S and Norwich drew with Chelsea! <mackems still aren't safe>

he's spot on, what with the never ending ball-ache with the Toon, The Heed are like a breath of fresh air just now.

Well after all of the ball-ache associated with following Newcastle United there was a a slice GatesheadBadge copyof football salvation this afternoon as Gary Millsâ Gateshead overcame a resolute Grimsby Town to make it to Wembley and a Play-off final with Cambridge United. The prize? A return to the Football League.
For those in a crowd of over 8000, the game had everything â great football, 100% commitment, incident and a second goal which was an absolute peach and deserving to take The Heed for their first ever trip down Wembley Way.
There were surreal moments. Hearing the Gateshead Chairman and owner Graeme Woodâs name chanted in praise and appreciation was a shock to the system as was seeing a grey-haired manager lap up the adulation of a straightforwardly enthusiastic crowd relishing the sheer joy of sporting success.
Clearly, every single person associated with this half-arsed fanzine wishes Gateshead all of the very best and we call upon the whole of Tyneside and beyond to do everything it can to support Gateshead FC and its bid to get back in the Football League.
Seeing that second goal and the joy it generated amongst an overwhelmingly Geordie crowd was a timely reminder about how great following football can be.
Howay The Heed!
