[7] By 1921, when Barrow were elected into the new Third Division (North) of the Football League, Holker Street had been developed into an "excellent ground" with fully covered terracing surrounding the three remaining sides, changing rooms and turnstiles.
[8] Holker Street remained a good-quality ground during the 1930s, with further upgrades following the Second World War, which saw the wooden stand replaced by terracing.
[7] Post-war attendances were the highest in the ground's history, with at least one match a year attracting over 10,000 fans in the first ten seasons after the resumption of the football league in 1946.
[9] The highest attendance at Holker Street was recorded in 1954 when 16,874 fans saw Barrow draw 2–2 with Swansea Town in the third round of the FA Cup.
As it was, the speedway team which operated from Holker Street, the "Barrow Bombers", did so only for two years from 1972 till 1974, when the track was removed due to its unpopularity with other football clubs.
The remaining stands were demolished for health and safety concerns, though a cover was retained for the "Popular Side", and terracing was pushed closer to the pitch following the removal of the speedway track.
[8] The CrossBar leisure club and bar was subsequently built at the former Steelworks End, as part of a job creation scheme.
[17] In 2020, a roof was built on the Holker Street End of the ground after the club had won promotion back to the Football League.
On May 12 2023, the club announced the renovation of two new temporary stands, made from scaffolding and sheeting, to be erected into the Wilkie Road side of the stadium accommodating both home and away supporters.
