Fratton Park is a football ground in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, and is the home of Portsmouth Football Club. Fratton Park's location on Portsea Island is unique in English professional football, as it is the only professional English football ground not located on the mainland of Great Britain. Fratton Park has been the only home football ground in Portsmouth F.C.'s entire history. Fratton Park was built in 1899 by Alfred H. Bone, a Portsmouth-based architect, surveyor and a founding director of the football club. The site of Fratton Park was formerly a market garden potato field in a Portsea Island farming village named Milton. By 1904, the village of Milton and the rest of Portsea Island had become part of the borough of Portsmouth. Portsmouth's football ground was deceptively named as "Fratton Park" by the club's founding directors, to persuade supporters that the new Milton-based football ground was within walking distance of neighbouring Fratton's convenient railway station; the true distance between the railway station and football ground is actually one mile, or a ten-minute walk. Fratton Park was first opened to the public on Tuesday 15 August 1899. The first ever match at Fratton Park took place on the afternoon of Wednesday 6 September 1899, a 2–0 friendly win against Southampton, attended by 4,141 supporters. Three days later, the first competitive home match at Fratton Park was played on Saturday 9 September 1899, a Southern League First Division 2–0 win against Reading, attended by 9,000 supporters.
