The facilities at Meadow Park are improving. Already a new roof has been put on the stand, the terracing on one side of the ground has been improved and now work has started to build up the terraces on the stand side of the ground, the ultimate aim being to concrete the entire spectator standing area. Meadowed knock down a section of the wall at the Wilson Avenue end of the ground and converted part of the former terracing and a section of the car park into a purpose-built training pitch.

Social Club: There is a bar in the main stand that is open to supporters for a pre-match drink, and sometimes at half-time. Post-match it is players and officials only.

Gates at Meadow Park in 2008-09 seem to be a few hundred in strength, from 200-400 for most games.
