Wednesday 7th November 2012
 Alfreton Town make their live TV debut on Friday night with their Blue Square Bet Premier Division home game against league leaders Newport County being screened on Premier Sports.
A thoroughly exciting game is in prospect in front of the cameras with both sides in good form of late, despite Alfreton's 2-0 defeat at Gateshead on Tuesday evening.
That was only a second reverse in the last 12 games in all competitions for Nicky Law's side who have saved all their best performances so far this season for the big games as a 3-0 home win over Luton Town, a 1-1 draw at title-chasing Forest Green Rovers and a fantastic 4-2 success at Wrexham in the FA Cup first round last Saturday, testify.
Title-chasing Newport arrive hot on the heels of a 6-2 home thrashing of Cambridge United on Tuesday night.
As one would expect, the Exiles have so far scored the most goals in the division, a total of 36 from 17 league games, and it is a total which also easily brings with it the best goal difference in the division as well.
However, Reds' Manager Nicky Law will also be keen to show the rest of the country what his side are all about, and the football they are capable of, and his options will be boosted by the return fro suspension of top scorer Dan Bradley and striker Ben Tomlinson, the latter having hit four goals in his last three games including a brace in the FA Cup win at Wrexham last weekend.
There will be no segregation for the Newport County game on Friday evening but visiting fans are requested to enter the stadium via the away turnstiles at the Alma Street end of the Impact Arena.
Kick-off on Friday night is 7.45pm and both sets of fans can save on admission on the night by purchasing Early Bird Match Tickets before 5pm on Thursday by contacting 01159 392090 extension 107.
Premier Sports can be subscribed to by accessing channel 428 on Sky.
Loan extended
 Alfreton Town have extended the youth loan of central defender Ross Killock from npower Championship club Leeds United.
Killock, 18, (left) who has been in outstanding form since joining the Reds on October 4th, will now be with with the Reds until December 3rd, 2012, inclusive.
Meanwhile, striker Anthony Wilson joined Northern Premier League Premier Division leaders North Ferriby on a month's loan last Friday to gain some much-needed pitch minutes and he will be with the Humberside club until December 1st inclusive.
New Cambridge Date
Alfreton Town's Blue Square Bet Premier Division home game against Cambridge United has been rearranged for Tuesday, December 18th with a 7.45pm kick-off at the Impact Arena. The game is however, subject to FA Trophy replays.
The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, December 1st, but has been postponed as a result of the Reds' continuing involvement in the FA Cup.
Senior Cup Prices
The Reds have announced admission prices for their Derbyshire Senior Cup third round tie at home to Buxton on December 11th.
These will be £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.
Sponsorship Presentation
At the recent home game against AFC Telford United, Alfreton Town mayor Steve Marshall-Clarke (below left) presented a sponsorship cheque for £2,500 to Reds director John Glasby (below right) from Alfreton Town Council.
The town council have been keen supporters of the club over many years and the Reds are delighted to maintain their excellent relationship and extend their sincere gratitude to them.
