Speaking to BBC Radio Stoke after the win, Mark Porter, chairman of the supporters club, said it “gives you hope”.
“These games, they’ll go down historically… They’re turning points,” he said.
He added the money which would come in from the team’s FA cup run would help the club in whichever league it was playing in next season.
“If they can turn this around now into the league form, who knows, it will be unbelievable won’t it?” he said.
“I think it’s a historic day… We know we’re in a real tough fight at the bottom of the league, but you’ve got to take these moments and just turn them around.”
