After many many years of designs and plan, Pompey have come up another stadium location and plan. This time prehaps the most expensive of them all at 600m all for a 36k seater stadium.

They want to move away from the 20k seater of Fratton Park, which has been home to Pompey for over 100 years. Places have been looked at but have not been suitable for the club or the local council. The Council wants Pompey to redevelop the current site. But to some extent if they did that, then the stadium prehaps wouldn't be big enough. Parking would still be a problem. While also prehaps making any location on the site for homes and shops would be pushed out the way.

This new plan prehaps is extreme, but is also very possible, as it allows not only a brand spanking top of the range stadium. But it allows them to sell apartments at a price and make tons of money. There is no name yet or even prehaps a sponsored?name?to?get?money.

If the plan does go ahead as planned, then Portsmouth will not only?just have a new shopping complex and the spinnaker tower. But prehaps one of the best looking?grounds?in?the?country.

The idea of a new stadium though is to generate more revenue as well as providing better facilities. The more fans in the stadium the more money the club generates. I think Portsmouth have a good fan base though so they should be able to fill the stadium?

Still very pretty though :D

I heard recently from a lecturer (I go to Portsmouth University) that following the war, Southampton/Portsmouth and other areas were told by the government to put aside some cash for future rebuilding and redevelopment, and apparently Portsmouth is the only city not to have spent their savings. I don't have anyway of proving this, or backing it up mind, I just overheard a lecturer talking about it a few weeks ago :)

Well Portsmouth is on the up at the moment.

Gunwharf, spinnaker tower and soon a big John Lewis store.

The reason why it would only be 36k is so they can put some apartments (mostly to make money and to please the council)

Anything bigger would mean the stadium would probably have to be moved off the island.

I don't think the council would fund any of the work. It would be done by the club and its partners, who could be paying the council in the way of houses on the Fratton Park site. If I'm correct any new houses bulit a certain amount has to be for social housing. Pompey look like they have solved this.

600mill? The 1,500 luxury flats could solve that! just look at the average price for the new flats in the area.

If we say an average price of 300k that what something like over 400 million? A nice chunk taken care of!

And the land will be owned by the council and MoD :) no need to buy it. And they don't want it! they don't have much use for a floating football stadium.

Meh, it's prolly just me but i think it looks kind of rubbish. Although if there is a game you want to go to that is sold out you could always buy a ticket to go up the Spinikar tower and take a pair of binoculars with you.

:laugh:

All i can say is about damn time, anyone who has been to Fratton Park in the away end when its tipping it down will understand. Don't know how they've managed to get away with treating away fans so poorly. :angry:

Got to admit it looks nice now all we need is global warming to kick in :whistle: :laugh:

Then it could be first floating football stadium :laugh:

Knowing the way portsmouth is run it will just be a big floating bouncy castle instead.

Hey they do care about the away fans. They are putting up a roof!

But only on the away supporters. The police box will not be able to see that part of the ground :)

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
