Baptism of fire for the Reserves
30/06/2010, by Jeff Bowron
Gateshead Reserves will kick-off their first totesport.com Central League campaign at home to Leeds United's second string on Monday 16th August at the International Stadium.
Leeds won the east division of the Central League last season and will be a tough first game for Paul Bryson's new side.
The first away trip is eight days later at Championship club Scunthorpe United with the derbies against Middlesbrough scheduled for 26th October on Teeside and the 7th February at the International Stadium.
Gateshead face Hartlepool United, runners-up last season, away on the 13th October and at home on the 10th January.
The Central League Cup, which is played on a group basis, has yet to be drawn.
All fixtures are scheduled for 7:00pm. However, clubs can move up to 50% of their home games to an earlier kick -off time with the agreement of the opposition.
Admission for Central League games is £3 adult and £1 concessions with season ticket holders given free admission.
