Craig HillRevealed: Portsmouth's new stadium design
June 25th 2008 04:01
FA Cup 2008 winners Portsmouth have unveiled some stunning designs for a new waterfront stadium on Horsea Island.
The new 36,000-seat stadium is an absolute masterpiece and will also feature an indoor exhibition centre/arena with a capacity of 10,000 seats. The current stadium at Fratton Park has a capacity of 20,688 meaning that the new stadium will hold almost twice as many fans for home matches thus giving the club a huge boost in gate receipts.
Peter Storrie, Chief Executive of Pompey said: "We only have one word to describe this stadium. Perfection.
"The club will be playing a big part in the regeneration of the city and our fans will have the very best in terms of facilities and amenities as well as an excellent viewing experience.
Portsmouth Football Club has moved into a new era with the backing of owner Alexandre Gaydamak and these are very exciting times for the club, both on and off the field.
The new stadium, along with plans for the club's new training ground at the Alver Valley in Gosport, are proof of where we want Pompey to be, playing at the highest level and in a stadium befitting a top Premier League side."

With Harry Redknapp doing wonders on the pitch and the club's execs doing their best in off the pitch matters, things have never been brighter on the South Coast.
