The state of the art offices on site are the new home of the County FA. The development is named after Meadowbank Park, which it neighbours, providing a beautiful green surrounding.<\/p><p>The stadium has a capacity of 2,000 spectators for football matches. Plans are already afoot to increase that number following Dorking Wanderers\u2019 promotion to the National League South.<\/p><p>Meadowbank also boasts catering facilities, meeting rooms and a children\u2019s soft play area. Plus, what we can reliably confirm is probably the nicest bar in non-league football.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/bigdecvzb9dzntok5xfo6r3ttus9iv1e9sx4jsj83flvq9oo.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"bigdecvzb9dzntok5xfo6r3ttus9iv1e9sx4jsj83flvq9oo.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><\/p><p>The launch event back in the summer saw the stadium host some of the country\u2019s most talented young footballers, as five time FA Youth Cup Champions Chelsea U18s took on their counterparts from Oxford United.<\/p><p>The new facility provides a central location for not only County Cup finals and FA events but also provides new opportunities to the local community.
