16th April 1960- Division Four, Watford 5 Gateshead 0

This was the last time we’d play Gateshead. At the end of the season they finished 22nd and had to apply for re-election but received only 18 votes compared to Peterborough United’s 35 and so ended their 40 year spell as a Football League club.
