Harrogate Town have submitted plans for a new ticket office and turnstiles at the club’s ground on Wetherby Road.
A planning application sent to Harrogate Borough Council outlines proposals to demolish the current ticket office and replace it with a new two-storey facility.
New turnstiles would also be in place at the eastern and western end of Wetherby Road.
The club, which plays Tranmere Rovers tonight, was promoted to the English Football League for the first time in its history last year.

As a result, Town have had to put measures in place to abide by the EFL admission criteria. They include a new pitch and increased capacity at the ground.
In documents submitted to the council, the club said the new planning application was necessary because of an increase in office staff and the need for a better flow of supporters on match days.
The application says:
“The proposals will improve the club’s match day offer, the experience for both home and away fans and the playing facilities.
“They will assist in the club’s continued success and growth. Works are programmed to start at the end of the current football season from May 1, 2021.”
The club has also submitted plans for a new two-storey club house and corporate suite.
