Stadium Capacity: 20,688 (all seated). Home of Portsmouth Football Club since the club's formation in 1898. Record Attendance: 51,385 ( vs Derby County 26 February 1949, FA Cup Sixth Round). The main entrance to Fratton Park is in Frogmore Road and notable for its mock Tudor façade. Fratton Park has four all-seated roofed stands. Fratton Park was the first football stadium in the UK to have floodlighting towers, although the current floodlights are not the original ones. The football pitch runs from west to east - which is considered unusual for an English football stadium, as the majority of other pitches in England are North-South orientated. The largest and most modern stand is the single tier "Fratton End", built at the west end of the stadium. The "Fratton End" is famous for its very vocal home fans. Along either side of the pitch are the "North Stand" and "South Stand", both of which are two-tiered. The Home and Away teams dressing rooms are situated within the South Stand. At the eastern end of Fratton Park is the "The Milton End", the smallest stand. The Milton End stand is usually used by visiting "away" fans, although sometimes this stand is shared by both sets of fans. A roof was added to the Milton End in 2007 for the first time.
