🚨WEEK 6 VIDEO IS NOW LIVE: Laying The £1.5M Canvas at Fratton Park & A Tribute to Kenny Jackett | Drone Tour 🚁

A week of massive transition at PO4. While the heavy machinery completely transforms the surface of Fratton Park, the Pompey family takes a moment to look back and remember a true club favourite following some incredibly sad news. 🏟️🕊️

Set to a cinematic, somber soundtrack, this Week 6 drone flight captures the crucial secondary drainage installation before shifting focus to honor the memory and legacy of former Portsmouth manager Kenny Jackett.

Week 6 Pitch Facts:

•The ground crew is currently laying the brand-new hybrid sand-based surface.

•This £1.5 million redevelopment marks the biggest pitch transformation at the stadium in 70 years.

Remembering Kenny Jackett (1962 - 2026):

•Kenny Jackett was appointed manager at Fratton Park in the summer of 2017.

•He departed with a win percentage of 50.71%—more than any other man who has managed the Blues post-war.

•He guided Pompey to Wembley glory in the 2019 EFL Trophy final, with more than 40,000 Blues fans inside the national stadium.

My thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Kenny’s family, friends, and loved ones. Rest in peace, gaffer. Once a Pompey manager, always a part of the club’s history. 🔵⚽️

Look at that perfect diagonal split! The dark sub-base is rapidly disappearing under thousands of tonnes of fresh sand, but this isn't just the final surface going down. 🚜💨

This meticulously leveled layer is actually setting the stage for the crucial secondary drainage system. It is a massive, high-tech engineering puzzle coming together right in front of us down in PO4! 🔵⚽️

Swipe through the aerials to see the precision involved. Are we ready for this new era? 👇

🚨WEEK 5: Has the British weather broken Pompey’s stride? 🌊👀

📽️WEEK 4 IN COMMENTS ⬇️

It has been a wild, wet, and incredibly windy week down at PO4, and the storm clouds rolling over Fratton Park as seen in photos, have thrown a massive challenge my way. 🌧️💨

While the elements have made capturing the usual production footage an absolute battle, the heavy machinery hasn't completely stopped. If you look closely at the images, you can see how the team is working through the mud, laying down materials right over those intricate drainage lines.

The pitch is looking more like a lake in some of these shots, leaving everyone wondering: Is the £1.5M Championship build still on track, or has the rain caused a major Week 5 delay? ⌛🛑
