However the Soccer Club – adjacent to Main Reception – offer spaces at a small cost (cash only) on a first come first served basis on matchdays.

There is also an arrangement in place with Liberata who allow fans to park there for matches.

Nearest Rail Station:

The nearest train station is Barrow-in-Furness which is approximately located 1/2 a mile away from the ground.

Upon leaving the station, you will need to exit onto Holker Street and turn right. After a short walk the ground will be located on your left-hand side after a small roundabout at the top of Holker Street.

Barrow have an away supporter guide on their website, which we have take the following information from: https://www.barrowafc.com/so-legal-stadium/away-fans-guide

The Holker Street End

Away supporters will be located in particularly in The Holker Street End (standing), and another seated stand located next to the main stand. where there is a capacity of 930, including 632 seated tickets.

In recent years the Club worked hard to develop this area of the ground in order to erect a brand-new roof and ensure that visiting fans had a seated allocation with the new additions of the temporary stands located either side of the Main Stand.

Tickets

In the majority of cases, tickets will be available in advance from your own club, so it is always best to check with them for the latest information.

However, whilst there will be no tickets on the turnstiles on the day of the game, we do have a Ticket Office located near Main Reception which will be open from 10am until kick-off on a Saturday and from 12noon for midweek fixtures.

Buying in advance is always advised to avoid disappointment and also the potential for queuing on matchday.

Food & Drink

There is a catering outlet inside the ground in the Holker Street End which serves a selection of hot and cold food, as well as hot and cold drinks.

This outlet is also fully-licenced to serve alcoholic drinks to away supporters so feel free to get in to the ground early and enjoy a pre-match pint of Carling, Madri or Carling Dark Fruits on draught.

Visiting supporters are more than welcome to join us in The Cross Bar which is close to Main Reception on Wilkie Road and serves a great range of pre-match drinks.
