Although it hosted Premier League football for seven consecutive seasons, the stadium has not been a top-flight venue since 2010.

However, Fratton Park is now unrecognisable as Portsmouth continue to redevelop their famous home.

New footage of the work, which began in 2020, shows that the Milton End has been transformed into a building site.

Following work on the North and South Stands in 2020, the Milton End is now having its capacity increased to 3,200.

Seats and the control room have been demolished in the stand to allow space to fill the corner to the neighbouring North Stand.

A new control room will then be constructed behind the new seats, which will be covered by a roof.

Entrances at both ends of the stand are also being built, along with freshly installed ladies’ toilets for supporters.

As part of plans to transition to safe standing, concrete terraces are being installed in the Milton End.

The concourse is also being extended and new turnstiles have been added at both entrances to the stand.

Pompey will be keeping their famous entrance at the corner of the Fratton End and South Stand despite the renovation of the stadium.

The unique design of the League One ground has even allowed local residents to see the pitch from their gardens.
