RichardB Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Aug 26 1822 Cricket match at Sheffield, between fifteen of that district and eleven of Nottingham. The concourse of spectators was numerous beyond precedent, and in the height of the play, a large extent of scaffolding, forty yards in length, and having nine tiers of seats, suddenly gave way when crowded with people, and precipitated them to the ground. Many were very seriously hurt. The Nottingham players, with one exception, were the same who contended with the men of Norfolk. Sheffield scored 41 and 81 and Nottingham 120 and 5 thus winning with ten wickets to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
