Leeds café owner opens up on 'terrifying' five days serving England cricket fans during the Ashes

A Leeds café owner has opened up on the “terrifying, awful, horrible” manic five days he faces when England cricket fans arrive at Headingley Stadium for the Ashes.

The Ugly Mugs Café, located opposite the cricket and rugby stadium on St Michael’s Lane, has been besieged by “nothing but” cricket fans arriving for England’s test match against Australia in the 2023 Ashes series, today (July 6), according to owner Jason Cunningham.
