PORTSMOUTH FC: FRATTON PARK - THE HISTORY

FRATTON PARK, THE HOME OF PORTSMOUTH FC SINCE 1899 - THE HISTORY
Fratton Park has been the home of Portsmouth since they were founded in 1898. The first match at the ground was a friendly between Portsmouth and Southampton.
Fratton Park took shape in the 1920s when a new main stand designed by Archibald Leitch opened. The stadium got further developed in the 1930s when a new stand opened on the other side.
The stadium recorded its highest attendance of 51,385 in 1949 during an FA Cup fixture with Derby County.
Fratton Park hardly changed in the following decades until in 1997 the Fratton End stand got demolished and replaced by a new all-seater stand. The only change since has been the installation of a roof over the Milton End.
In the last two decades, Portsmouth have investigated various options to either redevelop Fratton Park, or build a complete new stadium all together. Multiple plans have been presented, but all failed to materialise due to various reasons. No major changes are currently expected due to the limited financial means of the club.
