Shibby Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 After many many years of designs and plan, Pompey have come up another stadium location and plan. This time prehaps the most expensive of them all at 600m all for a 36k seater stadium. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...uth/6591049.stm http://www.pompeyfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/N...1016026,00.html http://www.pompeyfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/N...1016037,00.html http://www.portsmouthtoday.co.uk/sport?ArticleID=2729749 http://www.portsmouthtoday.co.uk/behind-th...ticleID=2729797 They want to move away from the 20k seater of Fratton Park, which has been home to Pompey for over 100 years. Places have been looked at but have not been suitable for the club or the local council. The Council wants Pompey to redevelop the current site. But to some extent if they did that, then the stadium prehaps wouldn't be big enough. Parking would still be a problem. While also prehaps making any location on the site for homes and shops would be pushed out the way. This new plan prehaps is extreme, but is also very possible, as it allows not only a brand spanking top of the range stadium. But it allows them to sell apartments at a price and make tons of money. There is no name yet or even prehaps a sponsored?name?to?get?money. If the plan does go ahead as planned, then Portsmouth will not only?just have a new shopping complex and the spinnaker tower. But prehaps one of the best looking?grounds?in?the?country. It is designed by?

Martyn Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 That is a very pretty stadium and very unique...but why is it only 36k? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/556225-portsmouth-fc-proposed-stadium/#findComment-588506529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxondale. Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 That is a very pretty stadium and very unique...but why is it only 36k? probably to save space for the other buildings within it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/556225-portsmouth-fc-proposed-stadium/#findComment-588506546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 The idea of a new stadium though is to generate more revenue as well as providing better facilities. The more fans in the stadium the more money the club generates. I think Portsmouth have a good fan base though so they should be able to fill the stadium? Still very pretty though :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/556225-portsmouth-fc-proposed-stadium/#findComment-588506556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyquist Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I heard recently from a lecturer (I go to Portsmouth University) that following the war, Southampton/Portsmouth and other areas were told by the government to put aside some cash for future rebuilding and redevelopment, and apparently Portsmouth is the only city not to have spent their savings. I don't have anyway of proving this, or backing it up mind, I just overheard a lecturer talking about it a few weeks ago :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/556225-portsmouth-fc-proposed-stadium/#findComment-588506577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibby Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Well Portsmouth is on the up at the moment. Gunwharf, spinnaker tower and soon a big John Lewis store. The reason why it would only be 36k is so they can put some apartments (mostly to make money and to please the council) Anything bigger would mean the stadium would probably have to be moved off the island. I don't think the council would fund any of the work. It would be done by the club and its partners, who could be paying the council in the way of houses on the Fratton Park site. If I'm correct any new houses bulit a certain amount has to be for social housing. Pompey look like they have solved this. 600mill? The 1,500 luxury flats could solve that! just look at the average price for the new flats in the area. http://www.berkeleyhomes.co.uk/index.cfm?articleid=1021 If we say an average price of 300k that what something like over 400 million? A nice chunk taken care of! And the land will be owned by the council and MoD :) no need to buy it. And they don't want it! they don't have much use for a floating football stadium.

mikebiacsi Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Meh, it's prolly just me but i think it looks kind of rubbish. Although if there is a game you want to go to that is sold out you could always buy a ticket to go up the Spinikar tower and take a pair of binoculars with you.

wolfman1380 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 All i can say is about damn time, anyone who has been to Fratton Park in the away end when its tipping it down will understand. Don't know how they've managed to get away with treating away fans so poorly. :angry: Got to admit it looks nice now all we need is global warming to kick in :whistle: :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/556225-portsmouth-fc-proposed-stadium/#findComment-588508083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.pingu Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 ^maybe its actually just going to be a giant bouncy castle Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/556225-portsmouth-fc-proposed-stadium/#findComment-588508877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibby Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Knowing the way portsmouth is run it will just be a big floating bouncy castle instead. Hey they do care about the away fans. They are putting up a roof! But only on the away supporters. The police box will not be able to see that part of the ground :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/556225-portsmouth-fc-proposed-stadium/#findComment-588508896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Looks pretty good to me. ;) Will be great to see and experience the atmosphere and that when its finally built, in a few years time.
