    Harrogate Town is planning to build a new two-storey clubhouse at the EnviroVent Stadium on Wetherby Road. The club says the increase in supporters since its promotion to the English Football League means it needs more fan facilities.

    Harrogate Town is planning a new clubhouse at the EnvioVent Stadium on Wetherby Road

    The club has submitted a planning application to build the two-storey facility in the north-west corner of the ground.

    It would be used to serve fans refreshments on match days and include an upper floor area for supporters to gather.

    Officials at the club said in planning documents the facility is needed because the ground currently has no “enclosed spectator facilities”, apart from pay and go refreshment kiosks.

    It would also be needed for the club to meet its English Football League membership criteria, which requires all member clubs to provide refreshment facilities for home and away fans in separate areas of the ground.

    A planning statement submitted by the club to Harrogate Borough Council said:

    “The club’s ongoing success means that match days attract more spectators. 
    “The new spectator facility will not only allow the club to meet its EFL membership requirements, but will also improve the match day experience for the club’s growing fanbase.”


    Town have had a successful few years on the pitch, including a historic promotion to the English Football League in 2020.

    The club has already seen a number of developments approved by the council since promotion, including a new ticket office and turnstiles at the EnviroVent Stadium which were backed by the council in April 2021.
