Portsmouth play their home games at Fratton Park, in Portsmouth. It is the only football stadium in the English professional leagues to be located off the British mainland.

	* Capacity	20.600 (all seated)
	* Opened	1898
	* Pitch size	115 x 73 yards

The ground has been home to the club throughout its entire history but, despite improvements, is showing signs of age.

Plans for relocation were first mooted as long ago as the early 1990s, but in 2004 (after Portsmouth survived their first Premier League campaign) plans to develop a new stadium on the adjacent disused rail-freight depot site were drawn up and approved.

These plans were superseded by a new plan to redevelop, more or less on the existing site, but realigning the pitch 90 degrees to accommodate a larger capacity, ultimately 35,000, funded in part by a "Pompey Village" luxury residential project on the adjacent site. Work on the stadium was planned to start in the summer of 2006 but did not happen. By October 2006, several alternative sites for the new stadium were also being considered including the King George V playing fields site at Cosham in the north of the city.

These plans were dropped however, when the Portsmouth Dockland Stadium project was announced on April 25, 2007. This was a proposal to build a new, and truly unique 36,000 capacity stadium, to be designed by Herzog & De Meuron, the world-renowned architects responsible for the Beijing Olympic Stadium, on reclaimed land in the city's dockyard area [5] .

In October 2007, the ambitious Dockyard project also had to be dropped as it was announced the dockyard would be host to 2 new large aircraft carriers and several Type 45 destroyers. As a result, the stadium plans have been relocated to a site offered by the Royal Navy at Horsea Island, between Stamshaw and Port Solent. The new project is also expected to be designed by Herzog & De Meuron and the plans have since been amended to include an indoor arena. Portsmouth are hoping to have the stadium ready in 2011.

The FA have suggested using the proposed stadium as a venue for future World Cup bids, assisting with expanding the capacity beyond 40,000.
