	Holker Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Holker Street is a sports stadium located in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, United Kingdom.
		Holker Street was at the center of Barrow's financial problems of the late 1990s, due to disputes over its ownership, which now rests with the football club.
		The stadium's future is uncertain, as Barrow A.F.C. consider plans to relocate to a new stadium in Barrow's proposed docklands development.

	Barrow A.F.C. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Attendances vary - the record of 16,874 was set against Swansea City in the FA Cup Third Round in 1954 - but during the 1990s and 2000s the average has remained consistently between 1,000 and 1,100.
		Barrow were founded in 1901 and played at various grounds before moving to their current stadium, Holker Street, in 1909.
		This reduced time in which to play their fixtures led to the scheduling of Barrow v Winsford United on December 30, 1999, recognised as the last professional or semi-professional game in the UK of the millennium (assuming the year 2000 is considered to be part of the third millennium AD).
