Gateshead's trip to Southport OFF due to coronavirus
Despite the National League confirming that fixtures would go ahead as planned, the Heed have revealed that members of the club’s first-team staff are in “precautionary self-isolation” after visiting Harrogate Town for an Under-19 Alliance fixture earlier this week.
The Yorkshire outfit announced earlier this week that members of their own staff are in self-isolation and their National League fixture against Solihull Moors that was scheduled for Friday night has now been postponed.
