Gold: I’d have banned DS abusers

David Gold is stunned that none of those involved in verbally attacking co-chairman David Sullivan last weekend have bothered to send “even an anonymous letter of apology.”

Shocked DG has maintained a dignified silence throughout the week since a mob made their foul mouthed protest in the Hawthorns car park as he left early to visit his sick mother.

But today – speaking exclusively to ClaretandHugh he said: “What happened will be a smear on this club for a long time to come in my mind.

“Had they come out publicly and apologised I would have banned them anyway so I can understand their reluctance on that front.

“But surely they feel ashamed enough to send a private and anonymous apology – that’s the very least that David might have expected.

“I was personally utterly disgusted and could barely believe what I was watching. We have had wonderful messages of support from the proper fans but nothing from the culprits which is shocking.”
