Covid-19 update

COVID-19 update - As agreed at the Club's AGM on Sunday 14th June

As you may know Watergate is owned by Gateshead Council and the club and Emmanuel college lease the area from them. Despite the FA/DFA sanctioning a controlled restart of grassroots football training, and despite the club producing a detailed risk assessment document (shared with all managers and assistants), GMBC have communicated to the Club and Durham FA that they withdraw permission for any sporting activities to recommence at any of their venues. The Club will not take any action to contravene this GMBC request as it may impact on our lease arrangements. Our sports liability insurance, which is fundamental to the conduct of any training activity, is not valid either whilst GMBC have this restriction in place.

GMBC are very closely monitoring local infection rates and acting accordingly. They are keeping in touch with Durham FA to advise them. The situation is changing all the time but until we get cast iron guarantees from GMBC that we can access Watergate then NO training can take place. It is likely that this restriction will stay in place to 1st July 2020 at the earliest.

The Club’s position is also that organised and formal training at non GMBC venues is irresponsible in light of the GMBC public health messages and so this is not acceptable at the moment – restriction in place to 1st July 2020 at the earliest.

Whilst it may be “nice” to get back to football training, the Club are considering the “need” to return back to training; and coming down in favour of there being no need at the moment to go against GMBC and its public health requests. As one the largest football clubs in the North East, we think this is the responsible approach at the moment.

The club

This season we have 33 teams playing in our distinctive yellow and green colours, from Under-7 to Under-18's, a huge age-range of youth football with many multiple age group teams. We are a totally voluntarily run and funded group and rely on the generosity of our members, their families, sponsors, charitable groups and donators to keep us in existence.

The future looks very good as we have taken on the responsibility of our facility and pitches at Watergate where a 35-Year Lease on an Asset Transfer has been obtained. Our Partnership with Emmanuel College is important to our future and we also look to build Partnership’s with other individuals and organisations as we move forward. We have invested and developed our Watergate area and Clubhouse to include the magnificent Watergate Café, run by Sharon Johnson.

Being a part of a team and a Club is an important part of a young person's development. We are delighted to be able to give our members that opportunity, we hope that you will consider supporting us in any way possible as we develop.

Safe environment for Football

We are a Charter Standard Community Club and all our Coaches are CRC (DBS) and Child Protection checked; all of them have at least the FA Level 1 Coaching qualification. We continue to hold our Charter Status standing. One of the best run and structured Clubs in the area, we are proud of our success on the pitch, with many of our teams performing well. We have over 320 young people as members and are proud of what we have achieved.
