David Gold reckons the Irons fans were a big motivating force behind today’s great result aAdd Mediat Stoke City declaring the Britannia Stadium “one of the fiercest and most partisan grounds in the country.”

He told ClaretandHugh: “They boo very decision that goes against them and are absolutely relentless in the support of their team but our fans were extraordinary.

“They are an amazing and don’t get anything like the amount of credit they deserve.

“They were brilliant in their support and for me were a big  reason we  got back to 2-2. I thank every one of them.

“Following your football team is an extraordinarily expensive business these days. In my day it cost the equivalent to 10p and even then I bunked into the Chicken Run for free.

“I say a lot about our fans because they are a unique bunch  and deserve all the praise in the world.”
