Just been on the Bulls Facebook page that as it stands the game is on, however there will be a further announcement tomorrow morning at 9am

Yeah, the Alfreton town Twitter announced this morning that the clash with Stalybridge was off (before Stalybridge did, weirdly) - to my mind that makes the likelihood of our game better, considering the weather and the fact that the pitch won't get churned up by a soccer game. Here's hoping anyway.

This game has been rescheduled for Sunday 8th May.

I've just looked at our fixture list and this weekend was always free. Is this presumably a challenge cup weekend?
The club might end up having to reschedule again if we're not out of the cup by then. We probably will be, but you never know.

I think there are 3 free weekends for the CC. That's why season started earlier. Presumably RFL want to avoid mid-week games.

Round 6 by my calculation. The one where last season's SL Top 8 enter.

So clubs must be assuming that both us and Oldham will be out of the cup in the next round if not this one. Considering Oldham have amateur opposition in the 4th round, it would only take an easy draw for them in the 5th and the game is being postponed again. That's not to mention us potentially getting past Dewsbury and whoever else in the next round.

When you take into account Fev Lions playing Lock Lane in this round too, that's a potentially very easy tie for someone in Round 5.

Seems odd they wouldn't say "subject to challenge cup advancement" or something along those lines.
