The Main Stand design needs to be able to accommodate 2000 seats at some point, in order to future-proof the Club.

It also needs to be designed to EFL requirements.

It's not only what is needed now that matters but what could be needed in maybe 30 years time that counts.

The size & positioning of the Main Stand (ideally in the West) will dictate the setting out of the Stadium, so it is important that this is addressed properly NOW & not at a later date WHEN IT IS TOO LATE!

Edit:

EFL membership will require a 5000 capacity ground including 2000 seats, at some point, if in the future Town aspire to be an EFL club?

This possible aspiration needs to be discussed & addressed in the current discussions about a new Stadium for Town.

Second Edit:

If the current Town Board view possible EFL membership as not being a consideration, then that will leave future custodians of the new Club hamstrung in their aspirations.

Third edit:

AFC Telford United's Main Stand is a good example of what could eventually be required.

The development of Town's new Main Stand could be in 4 phases:-

250 seats
500 seats
1000 seats
2000 seats

This will require an agreed cross-section through the Main Stand from the outset with a seating deck accommodating at least 14 rows of seats.
