Wigan Athletic's players are to refund fans' tickets for Sunday's humiliating 9-1 reverse at Tottenham.
A White Hart Lane horror show saw Roberto Martinez's side endure the proverbial run-around in the capital.
Having had time to assess their performance in North London, Wigan's players have come to the decision to refund their travelling supporters.
Captain Mario Melchiot accepts the level of their performance was unacceptable and hopes this gesture at least partially atones for such a heavy defeat.
Embarrassed
"We feel that as a group of players we badly let down our supporters yesterday, and this is a gesture we have to make and pay them back for their tremendous loyalty," read a statement on the club's official website.
"There is not a lot else to say, just that as a group of professionals we were embarrassed by the way we performed, we feel it was below our standards and this is something we feel we owe to the fans.
"Now we have to draw a line under the game, focus completely on training this week and bounce back on Saturday.
"We are professionals, we will take it on the chin and move on but it's important that we do not take our supporters for granted."
