Rumours that the first two days are already sold out if you are thinking of going to the Championship game All 11500? Possibly due to limited capacity as we still in Covid restrictions |

The White Rose forum speculates that our prior booked tickets will be cancelled to allow Yorkshire and Scarborough CC members to attend. If this comes to pass, a 5 night booked stay in Scarborough will be a disappointment with no cricket

The showcase match was due to be hosted at Scarborough Cricket Club following lockdown restrictions being lifted. However, since the government’s decision to extend lockdown, Yorkshire Cricket and Scarborough Cricket Club have explored ways to stage the match in front of the maximum number of supporters, whilst creating a safe environment and following the current government guidance.
Both clubs had hoped that sports venues would be able to provide a larger capacity than 25%, a number that has thrown up a number of challenges to satisfy spectator safety requirements. To host a match with 25% occupancy, certain criteria must be met, including demonstrating social distancing at entrances and exits, toilets, and minimising congestion around the venue.
Following extensive guidance and a professional ECB externally funded investigation, it has been determined that North Marine Road would not totally satisfy this criteria, and would therefore have its capacity reduced further to significantly below 2,000. Due to this, The Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Scarborough Cricket Club have taken the difficult decision to move the match to Emerald Headingley.
Mark Arthur, The Yorkshire County Cricket Club’s Chief Executive said: “Firstly we are hugely disappointed to have to make this decision as we truly believed that this fixture would be unaffected.
“We were anticipating over 6,000 spectators each day for what would be a fantastic advert for county cricket. Following the extension of the government’s roadmap, we had hoped that social distancing guidelines would have been eased as the data continued to show encouraging signs.
“After exploring every possible avenue, we had to ensure that as many Members as possible could attend the match. Staging the match at Scarborough under the current restrictions would leave many of our Members disappointed. Therefore, we believe that the fairest and most pragmatic decision was to host the match at a venue that has satisfied safety requirements and can comfortably cater for Yorkshire Members.
“We are extremely sorry to those who now have the added complications around accommodation, but we wanted to ensure that as many Members could attend as possible.”
SCARBOROUGH TICKET HOLDERS
Ticket purchasers for the match at Scarborough are entitled to a refund or can roll their tickets over to another game later in the season. Tickets are non-transferable for the match at Emerald Headingley, however, supporters will be able to purchase at tickets.yorkshireccc.com/online from Wednesday 7 July. For those who require a refund, details of how to apply will be posted on the Scarborough website during the week commencing 28 June.

Bonking Boris ruins my life yet again as if getting long Covid isn’t enough. I’m not going to try for Headingley tickets. Will just drink myself stupid in Filey for a week.

For all those who have booked accommodation in Scarborough the match is now being played in Leeds This is where I'm at.. Train to Scarborough arriving Sunday 10.05am. Accommodation booked for four nights. Train back to Manchester on Thursday. Day train tickets to Burley Park near Headingley a bit prohibitive £34.50. If anyone has, or knows anyone booked accommodation in Scarborough and now intends driving to Headingley the back any day the offer of a lift would be greatly appreciated. Will happily assist with petrol costs. Thanks. Phil 07790-534888. |

At least my first visit to Scarborough Cricket Club met with a modicum of cricketing success: I watched a Scarborough second eleven beat a Hornsea first eleven in a Yorkshire Premier League North (Division 1 East) match on the Saturday before the Headingley farce, with sustenance being taken at regular viewing breaks during the game at the nearby North Riding Brewpub.

Did you not ask to roll it forward for a ticket for next year? !!!!!!!!
I suspect they will be cautious about advanced sales in 2022, however useful our cash must have been during the difficult close season.
