The sheer scale and grandeur of the plans and designs for the new Pompey stadium take the breath away! This is real thinking out of the box - not for Pompey a concrete box stuck away on the outskirts of the city hidden on an old playing field site. This audacious idea will make Pompey a visit to remember for home fans and away fans alike and will put us on the map in football terms that must inspire the team to even greater heights.
Already the cavils about transport and how to get there have started - it will be impossible to park the car, etc. The only way I can get to Fratton Park is by train using the station and under present circumstances that can be quite a challenge in itself. But under present circumstances getting into and out of Portsmouth normally is a challenge.
If the same quality of thinking is given to the matter of getting 36000 people to the match and out again as is evident in the design of the stadium itself, perhaps we will begin to see solutions to the more everyday problems of transport around and within the city.
Portsmouth could become an exciting city in which to live, as famous in its way as Venice, because it has found modern and innovative ways for its citizens to move around.
Play Up Pompey and thank God for an exciting young chairman prepared to dream of the impossible rather than settle for the probable!
