Pompey plan new stadium

PORTSMOUTH chief executive Peter Storrie has urged the whole city to get behind the club’s ambitious proposals for a new 36,000-seater stadium on the waterfront.

The Premiership outfit have earmarked a 13-acre site adjacent to the naval dockyards at Portsmouth Harbour to become their eventual home.

Part of the £600m (€880m) redevelopment project – which is a joint venture with Sellar Property Group – will also involve the construction of some 1,500 apartments, as well as restaurants, cafes and other leisure amenities.
