FWIW I've messaged Dack on Twitter. I doubt he will reply or even look at it but its worth a dabble!

Do you know, not sure I agree. I came to this story relatively late and the more I think about it the more it makes my blood boil. It might seem like a little thing at first but on reflection I think it symbolises everything that is rotten and  wrong with the mentality at the Club.

Dack's a senior player at the Club and should be setting an example. He's made an error of judgement, fine, but when pulled up on it he should be apologising for his thoughtlessness and causing any offence. Not compounding the situation.

You could  also count the number of decent performances Bennett put in during five years at the Club on the fingers of one hand. Yet he was rewarded for nor performing with numerous new contracts and the symbolic role of Club Captain, a role he revelled in becoming the Club's self confessed cheer leader and tub thumper on social media. Yet he was the first to be all precious and complain if anyone pulled him up on social media about poor performances. And here he is popping up on social media taking the piss out of the Club as soon as he leaves! What chance did we have when he was here with someone like that "leading" us?

So we have a manager describing a 0-7 Club record home defeat as just one of those things that happens and current players, a former Club Captain and other former players who seemingly find the situation amusing. For me the whole do the bare minimum holiday camp mentality started with Allardyce prioritising certain games and sacrificing others. That worked for him to a degree as his sole target was survival but it seems to me that the stench of mediocrity and culture of doing the bare minimum you can get away with has never left the Club even though since being in the Championship we've theoretically been operating under completely different parameters of trying to win enough games to achieve promotion.

We need a new manager and CEO to come in and give the place the place a right good shake up from top to bottom. And set minimum standards and expectation levels.

Amen. There is a hell of a lot wrong with what happened and those tossers "liking" a post gloating about d1cking us 0-7 in our worst ever home defeat.

I did refer to that underneath the graphic, I'm not condoning or forgiving the attitude or commitment of the players and the manager, it was very poor, unacceptably so.

Just looking at the statistical facts.

Sorry rog, I wasn't meaning to come across as aggressive towards your comparison, which is fair and valid, but any comparison of such ilk is indeed going to draw conclusions which suggests we were merely out done by a more expensively assembled squad.

It could have been PSG last night and the team cost nearly £1b to assemble and it still would have been a wholly unacceptable, quite frankly disgusting "performance" of players that clearly have no pride for even themselves never mind the club.

The Labore element of our motto is the most important. We can all forgive being outclassed, that's the nature of sport but I won't accept is drawing a strawman proposition that we got beat 0-7 because Fulhams squad cost x amount more than ours or has x amount greater international or league appearances.

Some interesting stats from last night's two teams I thought I'd share.

This in no way is a reason to excuse or forgive a 0-7 home result, but I just wanted to have a look at the various budgets and experience of both sides. The fact these two sorts of teams are even in the same division (and Rovers were only 5 places away from Fulham before the start of play) shows the real problem with the Championship, the behemoth the Premier League is and how far away promotion actually is.

What a smokescreen. The fact is we showed zero endeavour or organisation. That costs zero.

We weren't constantly out done by sheer brilliance but by very poor attitude and application.

I've got in to a Twitter exchange with a blind fool, holding up the fact we aren't Bury or Bolton as beacon as to why the Raos are competent owners.

Do people really not see the irony in comparing us to a club that is basically extinct and one that was very close to being so as being a genuine justification for the Raos sticking around?!

I would LOVE to be given the keys to the kingdom with no debt. The employment of competent people to run this club should ensure we can wash our face in this division. Look at the six fingered lot down the road - a football club with small resources ran with competent FOOTBALL people can achieve great things. 

We have plummeted to an all time low in my opinion. The season will unravel from here and it showed last night that these players are not playing for Tony or Maggot. TIME TO P*SS OFF.

Walked out at 3 nil, even before the red it was a shameful effort from most of them. 

The club can’t moan about lack of fans on the ground when I drag my ass out after a day of work and no tea to witness that shite.

Pathetic 

Also ditched it at 3 and the same as you I was disgusted. 

From minute 1 we looked scared, tentative, pensive...you name it.

The game was finished at 5 mins at 1 down. Looking around the 11 on the pitch you could see the life suck out of the them. The only man on the pitch trying to breath any life was Travis.

At 2-0 the writing was on the wall and before half time it could, and probably should, have been 5.

The first time I've ever been embarrassed to support Rovers. If Mowbray has ANY dignity he will resign tonight.

It could be the same again on Saturday if those imbeciles are still at the helm. Sheffield Utd will be licking their lips.

Just listened to the Pod which I really enjoyed. 

Any plans to get this out more regularly? A weekly one would be awesome!

I see a scrappy draw here. 1-1

The above is me...dunno how but I appear to have 2 accounts!? 😆

That's a very good point, I meant 11k of us really

I think a lot could hinge on tomorrow and Wednesdays game for how ticket sales go for Sheff Utd. If we get a couple of decent results and are once again in a playoff contention I can envisage a decent crowd on.

2 stinkers and it'll be 11k ish

I've just tweeted this out but I think it sums it up nicely 

My 2nd game of the season after Huddersfield away. 

I realised last night I haven't seen us win a game live and in the flesh in 3.5 years. 

Sorry boys and girls; my continued presence will ensure we come away with 1 point although we will snatch a draw in the final minutes making it feel like a win 

1-1

If you mean the arrangement fee for paying monthly for your season ticket. If correct it was £36.71 at the start of the season 

Thanks Chaddy.

Appears its a straightforward 9% of the overall ticket price that gets added on.

Anybody know what the charge for finance is? I can't seem to find anything on the website what it might be?!

On Poveda; I think it was quite telling that Travis refused to pass him the ball and instead tried to jink his way towards the bye line towards the end when it seemed Poveda was in a much better position to get a cross in.

Poveda had a lot of the ball and was awful with it.

Just got home. After attending my first game in nearly 2 years I was pumped to be back and I enjoyed the game.

Result was not unexpected given the way we played but my early observation is that we didn't cave immediately. Last year we would have gone 1 down and given in. We have more steel but the change in shape baffled me completely as we were left so exposed through the middle it was frightening.

We need Leninhan and Rothwell back pronto.

They went off sale at Ewood a few minutes ago. Ring the club and ask them how many they have returned to Huddersfield which should help you with your decision.

Spoke to the ticket office who advised there are 'loads' of on the gate tickets available

Just been down the ticket office...the main Rovers section  is virtually full just single tickets, the family bit has some with seats together.....looks like a decent following 

 Arrgghhh dunno if I should bother now then or not 🙈 

Thanks both

Anyone know what the damage is for tickets?

Tempted to drive over but live in Southport so don't want to burn loads of fuel getting there and be stung on an expensive ticket!

Permanent deal.Announcement shortly

That's pretty adamant. Hope you're correct!

Saw nearly 30 new posts on this thread and got excited!

How have we reached nearly 400 pages with no new signings?! Must be a BRFCS record!

Would 6m not get a Hugill or a couple of really decent defenders....? This doesn't feel right to me. Suddenly we have 6m to spend and we are buying a nobody.???

But we won't be spending £6m. And if it is £6m IF somehow he fires us to promotion then it'll be worth it, I'm sure you'll agree!
