Phrase 3 of the ongoing £11.5m redevelopment project of Pompey’s 122-year-old home will focus on the South Stand.
As previously reported by The News, work will consist of reprofiling the South Stand, with a new seating structure introduced in the lower section to create a continuous tier.

This commences on April 4, impacting on the final three League One matches of the season – Lincoln (April 15), Gillingham (April 23) and Wigan (April 26).
As a consequence, season-ticket holders in Blocks T-W of South Lower will be required to move from their seats during the works’ duration.
Those supporters affected have been sent a survey by Pompey and are encouraged to complete it by Sunday, February 27, as the club strives to relocate them.

The Fratton Park project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2024, culminating with a new Milton End.
