That will limit the Boro's upward progress through the Pyramid to Level 7/ Step 3 (SLPC).

The same criteria will apply to the new Stadium pitch, if the choice is an artificial grass pitch.

A Pro standard pitch will allow the new Club to play at Levels 5 & 6/ Steps 1 & 2.

If NTFC CIC then achieve EFL status in the future, the artificial grass pitch will have to be ripped up & replaced by a natural grass pitch, to a standard suitable to play lower league EFL football (eg. Harrogate Town & Sutton United recently experienced this requirement).

That is how the FA Rules apply at present but you have to keep a close eye on what they are up to!

They issued an Amendment to their Ground-grading regulations for the NLS at the start of the 2024/2025 season.

A benefit arising from that Amendment was that they have relaxed their requirement for the number of seated stands (previously no more than TWO) to allow more flexibility in Stadium design in the NLS - there is now a minimum number of seats specified for each seated stand, that number depending on the Level/ Step being played at, I suspect to aid Clubs in the provision of seating in the away end (where segregation applies).
