Hi, they were due to play Hull FC but the match was postponed and played in March 1970.

Obviously

???

I'm fairly sure they didn't have a match that weekend.

My copy of `Bradford Northern - the history` has no game listed for that weekend. Rhinoneils` suggestion that they should have played Hull and then played that game in March is a strong possibility as they actually played six games in March. Seems like it must have been a bad winter; in Odsal at least, if not anywhere else

I have found a copy of the programme for this match, so I assume it was either abandoned or cancelled at very short notice.I hope this helps you.

The Hull FC website has an archive of results which backs this up:

Thanks to everyone for the information

It was a bad winter that year with continued -0 temperatures for weeks.

I recall one match being cancelled for a huge snowfall when the away team wasn't able to get to Odsal.

Looking at the Bulls records and seeing no other corresponding occurance I suspect this was the one.

So there is a programme available for this match even though it was cancelled / abandoned but I presume it is not widely available
