The next stage of the £11.5 million redevelopment of Fratton Park has started in the North Lower.

The work is being carried out to ensure the club can restore 100 per cent capacity to this area of the stadium and will also improve levels and sightlines throughout the stand.

It will deliver 12 new spaces for wheelchair users and their personal assistants, add kiosks, increase milling areas in the concourses and increase toilet facilities for female supporters.

Safety will be enhanced through wider staircases, additional safety barriers, renewed LED lighting and electrical works.

There will be a net increase of 600 seats across the North Lower, representing another step towards increasing Fratton Park’s capacity.

The work is expected to be completed in May 2022, with work then commencing on Blocks F-K over the summer.
