[1] Until then, the team had played on open grounds, but an arrangement was made to rent the Wallsend Amateur Bicycle Club's enclosure.

[3][4] They also reached the final of the Northumberland Senior Cup, losing to Willington Athletic; they were to win the trophy for the first and only time in 1901–02.

A change of name, to plain Wallsend F.C., preceded a return to mid-table, but they finished bottom of the league in the two seasons before competition was abandoned for the duration of the First World War.

[11] Tragedy struck the club in the 1931 close season, when inside forward, John Wynn, formerly of Cardiff City F.C.,[13] died aged 27, after being hit in the chest by a cricket ball, when playing in a friendly match.

[14][15] After four seasons in mid-table at the higher level, they finished bottom in 1932–33 and were relegated,[11] at which point the shareholders decided that the club, which had a deficit of £732, should be voluntarily wound up.
