Pompey to return to the Championship next season after securing the League One title with an impressive 97-points haul.
Their promotion as champions sees them return to the second tier of English football for the first time since 2012. And while that terrain may be familair to some of the Fratton faithful, for others it’s a totally new experience.
That means there’ll be plenty of new grounds for a section of the fan base to enjoy - but what can they expect? Well, with the help of Google reviews, here’s what we discovered.
All ratings are out of five, while we’ve also included the number of reviews posted, plus the last comment uploaded.
As the full make-up of next year’s Championship is still to be decided, all clubs from the 2023-24 campaign are included, plus, of course, Fratton Park - the home of the League One champs!

Last post: 'Decent enough ground for Premiership and Championship football. Bowl shaped stadium. Good size at 33k capacity. Seats are starting to go a bit pink. Stadium has little character, but the atmosphere is alright. Loved the Kingfisher and Thatchers on tap in the concourse. One of the worst grounds I've visited in terms of traffic and getting in and out of the proximity.'](https://www.thestar.co.uk/jpim-static/image/2024/05/11/9/10/GettyImages-2150413804.jpg.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=800)

Last post: 'The stadium is far from transportation. We walked 40 minutes from Stoke-on-Trent station to reach it. The stadium area is large, nice, and clean. Access is very easy with electronic tickets. There are snack stands offering burgers and fries around the stadium. Inside the bleachers, it was good; we were in front of the field, allowing a clear view of the players. The match and the atmosphere with supporter songs were enjoyable. The stadium was not full for this match.'](https://www.thestar.co.uk/jpim-static/image/2024/05/11/9/11/GettyImages-2088741579.jpg.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=800)

Last post: 'Had the pleasure of visiting the Stadium of Light on 01/04/2024. Whilst the result wasnt great the visit and the atmosphere was perfect. We were guests of a player and got to see the players lounge, dugouts, tour of the pitch after the game. All staff we came across were amazing. Northern hospitality at its best.'](https://www.thestar.co.uk/jpim-static/image/2024/05/11/9/54/GettyImages-1911951678+%281%29.jpg.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=800)

Last post: 'Lovely stadium from the outside, good view from the terrace, but just so unbelievably basic inside, awful toilets, getting food and drink is an absolute joke !!! Swansea must have loads of money as they have zero interest in selling food and drink, no TV so you can see the match whilst downstairs, or see the halftime results, and I'm sorry, but any fan base that needs a drum are a bit of a joke.'](https://www.thestar.co.uk/jpim-static/image/2024/05/11/9/54/GettyImages-1602201357+%281%29.jpg.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=800)
