Portsmouth

Portsmouth’s fall from grace has been a long and slow one, with the club dropping through the leagues from 2009 to present day. One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is Pompey’s use of Fratton Park as their home stadium. They moved into it upon their formation and its completion in 1898 and have played all of their home games there since. The all-seater stadium has undergone numerous chops and changes since it opened all those years ago, yet it retains the feel and look of a ground much older than its years. It has been used for more than just Portsmouth games over the years, too, with football played there when England hosted the 1948 Summer Olympic Games. Pompey also boast the claim to fame of being the first club to play a Football League match under floodlights, something they did back in 1956.
