Quakers take on promotion hopefuls Gateshead at Blackwell Meadows on Tuesday afternoon in a game which has been nominated in support of Shelter's #NoHomeKit Day.

Quakers will be wearing their away kit for the occasion, with a collection also being organised for the King's Foodbank.

Gateshead have lost just twice this season, but Quakers have already beaten the two clubs above them, Fylde and Brackley
