International breaks

Technically 22 days but what a run that was.

The two games in two days and 280 mile journey in between being the highlight. They must have left in the bus after the home game finished and got to Gateshead around 11pm.

Five games in eight days too in that list.

61 games in total that season

they flew up to Newcastle if memory serves

There were a few sorry looking sights at the Gateshead Athletics stadium the next day I can tell you

We played 5 Gola league games in 9 games conceding 17 goals, and gaining only a point in that disastrous run in towards the end of the 85/86 season. Then a 2 day gap saw us gain a point in our last game, relegated the next day, and lose in the B&B final the following day. Not the greatest weekend to be following the Wanderers.
