Barrow and Holker Street

This is an old-fashioned lower league ground up near the Lake District. I enjoyed a lovely visit for a League Two match (August, 30th 2025). The roads in for the early start were busy in a few places, adding thirty minutes to my journey from Lancashire.

I had a little bit of trouble finding the ticket office; the nearby signs seem to point in the wrong direction. Once there I got a £24 ticket with the home fans, standing. A shed near the entrance provider refreshments and I got a sausage roll and tea (£2.50) before the match and again at half time with no queues. The ground has standing on two sides and a few small seating stands on one side. The fourth side had buildings but not real stands. I parked on the streets though probably a lot further away than most. I enjoy a walk. The local fans were quiet and out shouted by the Fleetwood mob; despite there number being ten percent of the home fans. The match was decided after a red card for the locals on the 10th minute. Barrow did fight back at the end but a solitary goal for FTFC was enough.
