Re: National League Updates 2018/2019 Season
Gateshead have been suspended from the National League meaning they are likely to drop two divisions.
The fifth-tier club has breached the league's rules on financial reporting and permitted loans, as well as defaulting on football creditors.
At a disciplinary hearing The Heed were found guilty of failing to obtain security of tenure over its ground.
The club has also been fined £3,500 and docked nine points from this season.
Their ban from the National League means they are not allowed to play in the tier below - National League North - so would have to drop to the Northern Premier League in 2019-20.
It is not yet clear how the league will be re-organised, although Gateshead can appeal to the Football Association over the suspension
