A Leeds cricket club has said it could lose thousands if it has to cancel all its weekend events due to travellers setting up on the cricket field.
Steve Wales, chairman of North Leeds Cricket Club, said around 100 junior players are supposed to be coming to the cricket club on Soldiers' Field in Roundhay for under 11s and under 13s games. But on Thursday night, Steve said at least a dozen caravans parked on the fields near the cricket grounds, leaving the club potentially having to cancel the games.
The club say that it wouldn't be the first time they'd have to cancel events recently. Steve said they've had travellers on the fields three times in eight weeks, and had to close the club completely at the end of May because of vandalism.
