As a football ground
Gateshead’s International Stadium falls somewhere between impersonal and
soulless with today only four hundred or so fans scattered among the
twenty-five thousand or so seats; I’ve heard more noise there when watching my
son in the Northern Athletics Regional Championships with the young runners cheered
on by parents and teammates, and the stadium can be really atmospheric when
full, as for the Europa Cup athletics meeting a few years back when it rocked
as Mo Farah stormed the last lap to win the 5,000 metres race.
