Don't know if this is the right place to ask...

How much would a player at Gateshead Fc be getting paid per week ?

[Steameh]

I'd imagine they would have to work alongside playing to earn something liveable.

[der1]

Yeah I thought that

100K... If you listen to the blah blah types, that is what all footballers are on. In reality it will be relatively little, and as the other poster says, odds are he will have '2 jobs'.

The ones who think all footballers drive Bentley Continentals, earn 100K per week, beat their wives, are thick, etc. They normally come into a football thread for the sole reason of informing people they don't like football.

You know the sort.

What would be more realistic £300-£500 pw ?

Spot on Herectic. They forget the shining examples such as David Beckham, Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard etc.

I know a guy that had ended up playing semi pro after not making the grade at West Ham, I think he would get around £300-350 a week.

Not a bad subsidy on your wages I spose.

Really, Very intresting

[BlackST]

A google search brings back Wrexham players earning just over £500 a week.
I've been told of Southport players earning £250-£350 so I'd think Gateshead would be around that figure.

Thanks St

When you make it to the top, just remember the PH's who gave you sound salary advice.
