ST's made valid if we get a home FA cup tie ?Originally Posted by Grist_To_The_Mill

There may be something in the small print of ST contracts that says if any games are cancelled due to circumstances out of RUFC,s control then no refunds will be given.
One thing to bear in mind is that the recruitment budget has probably been set to match income from ST sales so any refunds could mean one less player.....or two

Any idea when the go-ahead/cancellation of the Millers v Bury game will be announced? Must be before the day of the match, but how far in advance of the kick off? I'm guessing at least a few days

Breaking news
Bury have said owner Steve Dale has been made aware of an offer to buy the financially embattled League One club.
The English Football League has also given Bury until 09:00 BST on Tuesday to show how they plan to pay off creditors - or they face having a fourth game suspended.
A statement attributed to "Bury FC Staff" described the offer as "the only lifeline for the future of the club".
Dale has said he will not sell until financial stability is restored.
Bury are yet to play a game this season after League One matches against MK Dons and Accrington, as well as Tuesday's League Cup match against Sheffield Wednesday, have all been suspended because of the ongoing crisis at Gigg Lane.
On August 9, they were given 14 days to avoid being expelled from the EFL as evidence previously requested about how Bury will meet its commitments to football creditors, those outlined in its Company Voluntary Arrangement or details how the club will be funded this season, has not been provided.
"We remain disappointed that we are still not in a position to reach a successful conclusion with Mr Dale, but will continue to work diligently in an effort to receive the information we require," said EFL executive chair Debbie Jevans.
"The real threat of Bury's EFL membership being withdrawn still exists, a situation nobody - including this board - wants to see and I sincerely hope we can find a way through these challenging circumstances for the benefit of all those who have an association with the club."

With the EFL in charge it will be announced an hour before kick off

Bury staff have called on owner Steve Dale to accept an offer to buy the financially embattled League One club.
The call came as the English Football League gave Bury until 09:00 BST on Tuesday to show how they plan to pay off creditors - or face having their next with game Gillingham suspended.
A statement said the offer is "the only lifeline for the future of the club".
"We implore Steve Dale to accept it, as it has the full backing of all of the senior staff at Bury FC," it added.
Dale previously said he will not sell until financial stability is restored.
Bury are yet to play a game this season after League One matches against MK Dons and Accrington, as well as Tuesday's League Cup match against Sheffield Wednesday, have all been suspended because of the crisis at Gigg Lane.
They have been given until 23 August to avoid being expelled from the EFL as evidence previously requested about how Bury will meet its commitments to football creditors, those outlined in its Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) or details how the club will be funded this season, has not been provided.
"We remain disappointed that we are still not in a position to reach a successful conclusion with Mr Dale, but will continue to work diligently in an effort to receive the information we require," said EFL executive chair Debbie Jevans.
"The real threat of Bury's EFL membership being withdrawn still exists, a situation nobody - including this board - wants to see and I sincerely hope we can find a way through these challenging circumstances for the benefit of all those who have an association with the club."
Within minutes of the EFL setting a 15-hour deadline for those details, Bury released a three line statement that said a buyer had come forward with a takeover bid, which is "one that we all at the club believe is a very good offer".
"This offer has been conveyed to Steve Dale and we are still waiting to hear from him," the statement continued.
First Team
Think Dale has responded now, trying to deny there's been a serious offer and he wants to hear from genuine people not opportunists.
Which in turn has been met with a response that Dale has ignored 3 emails trying to set up a meeting with a genuine buyer.
What a mess
Hall Of Fame
Bury fans groups don't think he will sell because the new owners will uncover things he may not want people to see.
If that is the case then he will probably string this out until the EFL has had enough.
Apparently Keef Hill is part of the consortium and therefore could be Bury,s Manager at the nys....if the mess gets sorted
Hall Of Fame
Apparently there has been some positivety overnight and the Bury fans group think he might sell.
Therefore there's a possibility that our fixture next week might take place.
I assume if the efl sees a potential outcome then it may permit fixtures to take place.
Only problem is that Bury don't have a first team squad.

We might scrape a draw then 😉
