Gateshead F.C. are a football team based in Gateshead, England, who are developing their yet to be named new stadium on Prince Consort Road. The club hope to move to this stadium in the next few years. == Location == The new stadium will be in the town centre, on Prince Consort Road opposite the Gateshead Civic Centre. The derelict land was formerly used by the North Durham Cricket & Rugby Club. The second-ever football club to be set up on Tyneside, Rangers AFC played their first season there (then known as the Drill Field) in 1879–80 before relocating across the river Tyne to found Newcastle United's St. James' Park. They later returned to Gateshead, where they became Gateshead Casuals and then Gateshead Association, playing back at the Drill Field before going out of existence. The 1890s and early part of the 20th century saw the North Durham ground be used for athletics and cycling events, with the running events taking place on a grass track and the cycling on a banked ash oval. The advent of the Second World War saw the location return to military hands to once again become the Drill Field. North Durham Rugby and Cricket Club made it their home for the second half of the 20th century. The pavilion was burnt down in late 2000 after North Durham Rugby Club merged with Gateshead Fell to become Gateshead RFC, subsequently moving out in 1998. Since then North Durham has mainly been used for youth football as a covenant decrees the land can only be used for sporting purposes, blocking attempts to sell the land for property development. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gateshead F.C. new stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
