Let's see if they actually come through with phase two and do something to expand capacity.
Thay being said, the work done so far looks to be pretty decent and a starting point to get us back to being a big south coast club. Still a long long way to go before we can compete in that sphere again.
Agreed - things do look a lot smarter.
I've been working at the AMEX stadium and training facility doing maintenance and we are lightyears away from their level.
It would take a long time and a massive amount of money to catch up which the Eisners are never going to pump in - understandably.
Whilst I don't expect to be like them and it would be good to retain some of the charm of Fratton Park which the AMEX doesn't have - it would be nice to have a bigger capacity and general facilities.
Cannot help but feel a little jealous.
