History

edit

Boreham Wood moved to Meadow Park from Eldon Avenue in 1963.[7] A new main stand was built shortly afterwards. That was demolished in 1999 and replaced by a stand with a cantilevered roof.[7] A new West Stand was opened in 2014.[8] 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.[9]

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.[10][11]
