We’ve been very disappointed with the negativity shown towards the Gala Dinner and Awards Night, which was announced earlier this week.
The decision to hold such an event was taken to allow us to operate in a professional manner, in line with other EFL clubs, and to continue our progression off the pitch.
With immediate effect, the event has been cancelled. Those who have already purchased tickets will be contacted in due course regarding a refund. |  | | |

The people on this forum are a small section of the fan base, how do you know people werent keen for this event?
A sportsmans dinner type awards evening is much more appealing to me, than some tinpot thrown together awards evening, in a bar where the beer is as flat as rats piss and pricey to say the least. | |

They sound like a child who's not been allowed to take a penalty in a game of football on the street so taken their ball home.
Very petulant and unnecessary imo. |  | | |

The people in the Dale Bar, Studds and in the stands last night are not a small section of the fan base.
There were plenty of dissenting voices at the ground last night.
With regards the beer, it was spot on in the Dale Bar last night. My experience of the town hall ale is that it is rank. | |

Disgraceful that the club caved to the "working class" who weren't willing to support the event.
Some of us were looking forward to this season being a bit more of an upmarket affair.
Those who wanted to go are now being punished by the minoroty/clique who were not willing to dip their hands into their pockets.
Best get my boosters done before the usual end of season awards event. |  | | |

Agreed. When they say “working class” they must mean not working and without class. Sixty five squid was not pricing out working class people. The club have ballsed up this season but this isn’t one of their balls ups. A few scruffs in the Dale bar moaning about the gala event and a so called “stick your gala dinner” chant that I didn’t hear (and I sit next to the sandy)does not constitute most supporters. |  | | |

I don't work, I could afford to go, that isn't the point. I don't go to any end of season do's, but a lot of people do and enjoy it. Why change that to a completely different beast. Have sportsmans dinners etc , charge whatever you like, this was about removing an egalitarian function where players and fans mix, and kids get selfies etc. I support Rochdale because it isn't removed from reality | |

As you probably know I dont get good favour from many on here for my forthright views , but on this matter I agree with the loyal fans . There could of been two events held and marketed in the correct manner , but Billy BIg Balls wants it his own way , he knows best stuff you lot.
I know from talking to many friends who are not on this forum , that the vast groundswell of opinion was totally against such a Gala event with the exclusion of kids , and increased price , but the arrogance to expect sponsorship of something they dont own was unbelievable. | | | |

Because the club want to present an image of professionalism as oppose to an awards do in a working mans club setting like the Radcliffe. Like I said the club have done worst this season. Why didn’t the supporters trust issue a statement when Hill told fans not to bother turning up. It’s a few people in a clique who fear change and see themselves as something special when they aren’t. Why bring class into it? Total load of bollocks. Moaning about sixty five quid as though it’s a huge sum of money. I feel sorry for some of your kids, the poor feckers must be on beans and toast every night. | | | |

I never mentioned class, I'm not in the trust, and I'm not sure why you mention my kids, you were originally replying to a bury fans wind up  | |
