Pompey unveil new stadium plans

Now that is a stadium. Just imagine. You're a Pompey supporter (Too much to take! Okay your team is there playing away). It's a few hours before kick-off, on a hot spring day. You're sitting with a beer by the waterfront, in the shadow in one of the most amazing stadiums ever to grace this country.

This dream is soon to become reality.

Portsmouth have today unveilled plans for a new £600 million waterfront stadium on reclaimed land in the city's dockyard and at Fratton Park. The stadium is set to be a 36,000 all-seater, just another sign of the success and investment the club has receieved since surviving the drop just one year ago.

With Gaydamak and Redknapp on board, Portsmouth really seem a class act. If the team keep performing to the same standard as they have done this season, European football in this stadium in years to come will be an almost certainty. Of course there is no place like Fratton Park, and when its gone it will be sorely missed by all Pompey fans (and the odd other fan). However, Portsmouth are going places, and this super stadium seems only fitting.
