Shildon football club generally see a few hundred turn out for a league match on a very good day. The 27th of February 2010, Shildon host Whitley bay in the 1/4 finals of the FA vase. Dean Street football ground sees around 2000 turn out to watch the match. 90mins later and its all over for the Shildon boys, however its a very good gate receipt for a small none league club like Shildon so all is not lost.
