Description: | This is an early example of a ticket for an England versus Scotland match. Played at Richmond Athletic Ground on 21st March 1903, England lost 6-10. Before Twickenham Stadium was built the England rugby team used to play their matches around the country, but at Richmond or Blackheath's grounds when in London. When the Rugby Football Union (RFU) decided to build a national stadium they considered buying Richmond's ground. However it was too expensive and so the RFU settled for cheaper land at Twickenham. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | World Rugby Museum | Rights holder: | World Rugby Museum | Subjects: | Sport | Temporal: | 1903 | Source: | World Rugby Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
