Eleventh placed Stafford Rangers travel to Tyneside this Saturday to take on the mighty Heed Army.
Rangers are currently managed by Wolves legend Steve Bull, if his side play anything like he did in his prime then Gateshead are in for a tough game with plenty of goals.
Stafford Rangers drew their last game 0-0 at home to Kings Lynn on Tuesday night in front of their lowest crowd this season, 476 witnessed the game. On August the 23rd Stafford pulled in a great crowd of 958 for the match against Tamworth.
Here is footage of David Mcniven winning penalty in the 1-0 win over Solihull on bank Holiday Monday last month:

Gateshead will be looking to get another 3 points after Tuesday nights 2-0 win at Fleetwood Town. Although it was a good win on Tuesday night, Stafford should prove to be more of a test than the poor Fleetwood side.
John Brackstone could be in-line to make an appearance, although he didn’t play on Tuesday he was named on the bench. Wayne Phillips would be very unlucky if he was to loose his place in the starting line after filling in well for the injured Brackstone.
Craig Nelthorpe starts his 3 match ban and will miss the game on Saturday and the following two matches. Could Michael Rae be in line to get his first start of the season and fill in for the suspended Nelthorpe???
