Gateshead's players and staff have been paid their delayed September wages following a funding crisis at the National League club. Director Mark Nellist withdrew his financial support and resigned from the board on 1 October, leaving wages unpaid. Interim chairman Graham Wood confirmed the payments were made by Tuesday as the club undergoes a takeover by American investment company Flacks Group. Gateshead currently sit bottom of the table with four points from 13 games.
