The choice of pitch type has various options & that will be determined by the new Club & their aspirations/ambitions.

From memory, Ted Stocker's plans for Liberty Way were to install a grass pitch within the Main Stadium & a three-quarter size 3G Community pitch outside of the Stadium.

That is a very cost effective & sensible approach.

Do NBJFC require a full size pitch to play on?

If a grass pitch is chosen for the new Stadium, it needs to be of a standard to play lower league EFL football (as was installed at Liberty Way).

If a higher quality grass pitch is required for more durability (particularly through the Winter months) then a hybrid grass pitch would be a good solution.

The type of pitch chosen for the new Stadium will impact on the future aspirations/ambitions of NTFC.

I have answered your last paragraph in a reply to one Bo Montrode's posts.

Edit:

You can do the maths on the area comparison between a full-size & three-quarter size 3G pitch.

For Community use, it would only need to be a FIFA standard quality pitch & not a FIFA PRO quality pitch.
