Gateshead Football Club is urging fans to pack out the International Stadium tomorrow for a crucial National League match against Yeovil Town, with cut-price tickets available to boost attendance. The game kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, 28 March, coinciding with Non-League Day 2026, a national initiative that encourages supporters of top-flight clubs to discover the grassroots game during the international break.
The match carries extra significance for Gateshead, who clawed their way out of the relegation zone with a stunning 3-1 home win against promotion-chasing York City on Tuesday. The victory lifted the Tyneside club to 20th in the table, two points clear of the bottom four with six games remaining. Yeovil Town arrive in 15th place, safely mid-table and with little to play for this season.
Captain Kenton Richardson, a former Sunderland and Hartlepool United defender, has made a personal appeal to the North East football community to get behind the team. “We’ve fought our battle against relegation in front of crowds averaging just over 1,000 throughout the season,” Richardson said. “Tomorrow is a chance to show what this club means to the area.”
To attract bigger numbers, Gateshead is offering tickets with up to 20% discount for the Non-League Day fixture. Adult tickets cost £18, concessions are £14, young adults pay £10, and children can attend for just £5. Tickets are available from the club’s website.
Non-League Day was founded in 2010 to showcase the affordable, community-focused football found outside the Premier League and English Football League. The initiative, supported by the Premier League and the Football Supporters’ Association, sees clubs across the country open their doors to fans who might not usually attend non-league matches. More details about the initiative are available on the FSA website.
The fixture offers Gateshead a golden opportunity to build on their momentum against a relaxed Yeovil side. With home advantage and reduced ticket prices, the club will hope for one of their biggest attendances of the season as they continue their fight to stay in the National League.
