Scarborough Athletic Chairman Trevor Bull says the club's summer development plans are progressing well and will mean more tickets for home fans.
The club has received planning permission for it's new office and fan zone and Trevor says upcoming alterations to the away end, are already having a positive impact on ticket sales.
Scarborough Athletic will have 100 extra season tickets available for home fans this season following the alterations to the away end being made this month.
Trevor Bull says with planning permission also now secured for the new fan zone there is a busy period of construction ahead.
The approval of the scheme comes after the North Yorkshire licensing authority granted the club a premises licence for its Victory Bar at the SAFC fan zone.
A large white marquee with a footprint of 24m by 9m will be located to the south of and in parallel to the southern spectator stand.
A similar marquee is currently occupying the multi-use games area (MUGA) “without the benefit of planning permission”, according to the council.
The siting of three modular buildings of varying dimensions has also been approved, one of which will be used as a fan shop and the other used for storage, while the third unit will contain an office and associated toilets.
Planning documents state that together, the structures will form part of an enclosed fan zone providing facilities for supporters.
The application also gained consent for the erection of new perimeter fencing along the southern, eastern, and a short section of the northern edges of the football ground.
The heightened fencing was requested following concerns raised by the police, council, and other organisations as a result of “unauthorised incursions during matches and at other times”.
