Where is borehamwood fc
Boreham Wood came out and gave it a good go for the first 15 minutes of the second half, but we then grabbed two more goals. We then conceded from a deep cross into the box, as is usual for this season, but held on for a victory. A number of Town fans were sporting wigs and moustaches, and unfortunately one of them decided to run onto the pitch after our third goal, and was duly ejected from the ground. The stewards were very friendly though. I don't imagine they usually have any need for them, but as we had over away fans there, they seemed to have got extras in.
Didn't have any food, but it looked okay. Toilets were in a portakabin, new looking and very clean. Easy place to get to, locals welcoming, although it would be nice if the team had a bit more support. I was on a supporters coach, the journey was long as usual but the coach was able to access the ground from the motorway quickly.
Away fans aren't allowed in the clubhouse, so we went in to the nearby town centre. The people were fine but the pubs were pretty terrible. The Wetherspoons was poky and full of Saturday afternoon families, the next two pubs didn't sell any ale and were packed with Arsenal and Spurs fans.
What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of Meadow Park? Meadow Park is neat and tidy in a modern way, you can see the work has gone in due to their link up with Arsenal. Views are fine. The away end was small but fine for our numbers, though why there had to segregation in a crowd of odd is beyond me.
The food was good, from a catering van and the stewards were friendly enough. The atmosphere was poor, although the plus from Barrow made a bit of noise as did a small group of 'Wood' fans at the other end of the stand. Reasonable modern ground, a bit soulless. For smallish away games where there is no prospect of trouble it's insane not to let away fans in the bar.
Another ground to tick off and to complete the Watford triangle Watford, Barnet and Boreham Wood as they all involve lengthy journeys on the M25 for me. I travelled up from Fareham on the south coast.
It is a two hour drive via the M27, M3 and M25 — with a short leg on the A1. However the eternal roadworks on the M3 and the equally ubiquitous congestion on the M25 adds at least 30 minutes onto this. Traffic delays meant that we got to the ground just before kick off.
I followed this guide's advice and tried to park at the ground but was turned away as I was not a member or a player. There is however a convenient pay and display car park adjacent to the North West corner of the ground.
The away fans entrance is right next to this car park, but home and neutral fans have to walk right round the ground to gain access on the far side. The Meadow Park ground itself is of a reasonable standard for this league. It has two covered areas on the East and West sides. Away fans stand in the uncovered North Stand but, if it rains, they can walk through to the covered East Stand and get a seat.
The game was a clash between two teams skirting with relegation. Boreham Wood were disappointing and the few home fans had little to cheer. Barrow were more organised and threatening. Catering at the ground is at two portakabins. They do not sell pies grump! The toilet facilities are rudimentary, no hot water and the hand-dryer did not work. Getting away from the ground is easy. It is a 5 minute drive through town before getting onto the A1 and another 10 minutes after that to the M I spoke to a 'loyal' although he left at half time Boreham Wood fan who was lamenting their poor home performances.
I hope it was not people like him the Chairman was referring to in his programme notes when he says "I despise weak minded individuals who have selective memory and who play the blame game" not quite a rallying call for a team in trouble? However all is not looking well for Boreham Wood as only 2 of their 12 remaining fixtures are against teams below them and with only regular home supporters, their stay in this league may well be short lived.
I have been to Boreham Wood a couple of times with my local non-league team Maidenhead United and I often work in the area. This was the first game where the old terrace behind one goal had been demolished, in preparation for a new stand.
I actually ate at the ground, the lady in the away refreshment hut always cooks me a vegetarian roll, its not on the menu but usually, the chaps behind me in the queue also ask for a veggie patty roll. It is tidy, the training grounds on site are very smart.
The game was good, Solihull dominated and somehow could only draw that cost them as they were near the top of the league at the time — I stood with the Solihull fans who had good support and made plenty of noise. It was a good game, pity that Boreham Wood have such small attendances — the ground is well worth visiting. This was my fourth visit. Maybe a sign on the A1 stating the football ground is this way could generate interest considering the amount of traffic that passes along there.
I know many people that live or work nearby, didn't know the club was even there! Please read our Terms and Conditions before submission. EPL Tickets. Shrewsbury Town. Doncaster Rovers.

Meadow Park Boreham Wood Feedback. With no underground required it was less time taking 2 trains. Wakefield to London Kings Cross. Then St Pancras to Borehamwood. The nearest station is Elstree and Borehamwood. No more than 10 minutes to the ground. I met some town fans on the train and decided to tag along with these boys who seemed a decent bunch.
Called at a Wetherspoons on the way to the ground for a bite to eat and some liquid necessities. For home supporters using Brook Road Car Park, who wish to use the clubs bar facilities, this is a short walk via a public footpath through the adjacent park.
So, getting here by car is relatively easy. Boreham Wood FC has dedicated facilities for wheelchair bound and less able supporters, which include a viewing area and disabled toilet facilities. These are available via the West Stand. Disabled parking bays are available in this car park.
