Portsmouth FC
Fratton Park
The Ground
At one end is the
Fratton End, which is a new looking single tiered stand. It is of a good size and is the tallest stand at the
ground. Opposite is the recently covered
Milton End, which is all seated. Part of this stand us given to away fans. There is a small moat in front of this area. Both
side stands are two tiered and originally had terracing at the
front, which has now been replaced with seating. The South Stand
dates back to 1925, and is starting to show
its age. However, it still has some character with
an old fashioned looking media gantry
perched on its roof and raised team dugouts at its
front. Opposite the North Stand looks
somewhat plain and functional. Both the North &
South Stands are two tiered and have a number of supporting pillars.
The
ground is completed with a superb looking set of tall floodlights
that were first used in 1962.
If you get chance to wander
around the outside of the ground beforehand then make sure to go
down towards the home end to look at the mock tudor facade in
Frogmore Road. |
