Gateshead 3 v Motherwell 2

Went to Gateshead today with Scottish relatives to see our July 29th opponents take on the 10th best team in Scotland. The inevitable multiple substitutions meant the match was little more than a training exercise but Gateshead were quite impressive taking a 3-0 lead before the Steelmen scored twice in the last 2 minutes - they had wasted quite a few free headers before that which I am sure Simon Ainge would have fancied! The gate was given as 553 of whom 264 were away fans so don't expect vast numbers from Gateshead to turn up at Wetherby Road.
