The Rebels will bring their run of six-straight away matches to start the season to an end on Monday evening as they head to Meadow Park to take on Boreham Wood.
The Ground
A new covered terrace at the North End of the stadium opened in 2019. This medium-sized terrace replaced a former open one. Known as the North Bank, it is quite smart looking, although it is set back from the pitch perimeter.
On one side of Meadow Park is the smart-looking West Stand which was officially opened by Arsene Wenger in 2014. This stand has a capacity of 1,200 seats and is covered. It is quite steep, meaning that fans are kept close to the playing action. There is a ‘plinth’ area above the stand which is used as a television gantry, which gives the stand an interesting look.
The opposite is the Main Stand, which again is a modern-looking all-seated stand, that has a capacity of 500 and is covered. It runs for around half the length of the pitch and sits astride the halfway line. Like the modern West Stand, it is free of any supporting pillars, giving a good view of the playing action. The team dugouts are situated in front of this stand.
The South End has portions of open terrace and flat standing areas. In the North East corner of the stadium is a small club shop which is housed in a temporary building. On top of this is mounted a small electric scoreboard.

Travel & Parking
By Road: Leave the M25 at Junction 23 and take the A1 towards London. Then leave the A1 at the first turn off and take the A5135 towards Boreham Wood. Continue along the A5135 towards the town centre, going straight across at the first small roundabout and at the next large roundabout, take the second exit onto Brook Road (signposted Boreham Wood Football Club). Then take the next right into Broughinge Road and the ground entrance is down on the right.
There is a car park at the ground, but this is only for players and Club officials. A few minutes walk from Meadow Park is the Brook Road ‘pay and display’ car park, which typically fills up quite quickly. The car park is free after 6.30pm and on Sundays.
Please be aware that in the streets around the stadium, a residents only parking scheme is in operation, so please check lamp posts for warning signs of this before parking up.
By Rail: The nearest railway station is Elstree & Boreham Wood which is located just under one mile away from Meadow Park. The station is served by trains from London St Pancras and Luton.
As you come out of the station entrance bear left and walk up to the main road. Turn right into Shenley Road and proceed along the High Street, until you reach a small roundabout. Turn left at the roundabout into Eldon Avenue (there is a McDonalds over on the right of this road). At the bottom of Eldon Avenue turn right into Brook Road and the entrance to the ground is down on the left. The journey from the station should take around 15-20 minutes.
Ground Facilities & Pubs
Hot food and drinks are available in between the two sections of the South Terrace from a mobile catering unit called the ‘Lunch Box’.
At Meadow Park itself is the Three Lions Bar, but this is normally for home fans only. However, Meadow Park is only a 5-10 minute walk from the town centre where there are plenty of pubs. Three options include:
- The Alfred Arms – 22 Shenley Rd, Borehamwood WD6 1DR
- Mops and Brooms – Nelson Cottage, Rowley Ln, Borehamwood WD6 5PD
- The Oak – Rossington Ave, Borehamwood WD6 4LA
