Gold is a keen user of the social networking site to interact with supporters and provide updates and answer questions about the club.
West Ham co-owner David Gold
The businessman is no stranger to the odd faux pas on Twitter having had several foot in mouth moments broadcast to his 175,000 followers and beyond.
Previously he tweeted a picture of Angelo Ogbonna – before the club had even signed the Italian – to announce the signing of Pedro Obiang.
He then had to apologise after retweeting a spoof appeal to find a missing man – which was actually a picture of Michail Antonio when he was not making the West Ham team at the start of his Hammers career.
The club has been through a big period of transition of late with the move to the London Stadium.
The Hammers’ new home is a major bone of contention for supporters, with large sections voicing their displeasure at their new surroundings, the atmosphere and the ground not being a football stadium.
Others are perfectly happy with the move to the 60,000 seater stadium, which will be a 66,000 capacity next season.
But Gold made an error on Twitter when he proudly boasted about the stadium being ‘the biggest in London and second biggest in the Premier League’.

Gold was of course referring to the fact West Ham’s home is the biggest club stadium in London – aside from the fact bitter rivals Spurs will play there next season.
But that didn’t stop the official Wembley Twitter account trolling the Hammers co-owner.
We’re assuming it was just some harmless fun but it opened the floodgates for the pensioner to be abused by fans of rival clubs.
Supporters who enjoy Gold’s Twitter updates will be hoping it does not drive him off social media.

If anything the former Birmingham City owner should be applauded for engaging and conversing with supporters regularly despite all the abuse he receives.
The London Stadium was voted World Stadium of the Year earlier this week, as reported by the likes of Sky Sports.
