History edit
Boreham Wood moved to Meadow Park from Eldon Avenue in 1963.[6] A new main stand was built shortly afterwards. That was demolished in 1999 and replaced by a stand with a cantilevered roof.[6] A new West Stand was opened in 2014.[7] A new North Bank terrace was opened in 2019, sharing the name of one of the stands from Arsenal's traditional former home of Highbury.[8]
Record attendance edit
The record attendance for the ground is 4,101, set in an FA Cup second round match against St Albans City on 6 December 2021.[9][10]
