STOKE promoter Dave Tattum has been left fuming after a news release was issued on social media by Lawrence Fielding with regards to work having been done by volunteers at the stadium over the close season.

Tattum commented “I sincerely apologise to anyone that has been offended by the posting which was put out over social media. I had no knowledge of the statement being put out by Mr. Fielding and will not be making any further statement regarding the matter.”
