Portsmouth have announced plans to leave Fratton Park and build a new 36,000 all-seater stadium near the city's naval dockyards.

Pompey hope the £600million project will start in the summer of 2008, with the new ground ready for use three years later.

Chief executive Peter Storrie told the club's official website: "This will be the most spectacular stadium, set against the backdrop of the harbour and the English Channel befitting the club's history.

"The club will be playing a big part in the regeneration of the city and our fans will have the very best in terms of facilities and amenities as well as an excellent viewing experience.

"Portsmouth Football Club is moving into a new dawn with the backing of owner Alexandre Gaydamak and these are very exciting times for the club both on and off the field.

"The new stadium, along with plans for the club's new training ground at Titchfield, are proof of where we want Pompey to be - playing at the highest level and in a stadium befitting a top Premiership side."
