Harrogate Town plans new terrace and merchandise kiosk
Harrogate Town has lodged plans to install a new terrace and merchandise kiosk at its Wetherby Road ground.
The club has tabled the proposal, which would see a new 100-person terrace built near to the north stand turnstiles, to Harrogate Borough Council.
Meanwhile, a kiosk is also planned in order to serve fans refreshments and Harrogate Town merchandise.
The club said the new terrace is required because the English Football League will no longer accept perimeter standing at stadiums.
In planning documents, it said:
The location for the terrace and kiosk at the Envirovent Stadium.
The council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
The club recently saw its proposal to upgrade its Envirovent Stadium approved.
It will see almost 1,000 seats installed to bring the ground up to EFL standards.

To the south of the ground, the Myrings terrace will see 264 seats installed and the 1919 bar will be demolished and replaced with a new standing terrace.
A total of 603 seats were installed in the Black Sheep Brewery stand a few weeks ago.
The changes will not increase the overall capacity of 5,071 but will see the number of fans that can be seated rise from 1,193 to 2,060.
