The format of the tournament included a regular phase in which the teams faced each other in a two-round league system. The top two teams at the end of the season earned direct promotion to the Premier League, while the teams in third to sixth place played in the playoffs to secure the third promotion.

This prize money includes increases in television rights and sponsorship fees, which can be financially transformative for a club, giving it the opportunity to invest in better players and infrastructure.

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.
