‘Welcome to Meadow Lane’ design, an interactive height measuring
wall for kids, and a ‘Welcome to the Family Stand’ sign.” Sarah Gooding, Marketing and

area – everyone at the club is absolutely thrilled with the result. Our Family Stand is now a warm, welcoming, visually-engaging area within the ground and we’re sure it will continue to be well-received by fans for a long time to come.”
