Stoke fans will be getting free ice cream tomorrow from the bookmakers who wrote off the club’s chances of staying in the Premier League.

Bookies Paddy Power decided Stoke were relegation fodder after Bolton beat them 3-1 on the opening day of the season and paid out on them going down.

Now, with Stoke safe two games from the end of the season, they have offered their apologies and will provide free ice cream for the final home game against Wigan.
