Yorkshire County Cricket Club has revealed it lost out on about £750,000 after disappointing attendances at the Test match between Pakistan and Australia at Headingley.
The club warned that poor ticket sales could lead to redundancies.
Chief executive Stewart Regan said: "Clearly with a capacity of 18,000 we would have hoped to have had certainly into a five-figure attendance.
"We've ended up with 4,000 on the first two days and around about 6,000 on the third day. Financially, it leaves a big hole in our cash flow. It is quite a hole that we're going to have to find elsewhere."
Regan added that when the club won the chance to host the match, it expected it to be a "huge success".
He continued: "It certainly hasn't turned out to be the case and we have got to now look at putting an action plan in place to deal with the fallout from that and move on."
