Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has pledged financial support to aid fans impacted after mass stabbings on a train left 11 people injured and requiring hospital treatment.
The Premier League club confirmed several of its London-based supporters had been on the train, as they travelled home from their 2-2 draw against Manchester United.
Nottingham Forest said it was aware of 'extraordinary bravery' from individuals, with Marinakis praising 'courage and selflessness' shown by their supporters.
'Nottingham Forest Football Club wishes to express its deepest concern and heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the shocking attack on an LNER train bound for London yesterday evening,' a club statement read.
'Many of our London-based supporters were travelling home on that train following our match at the City Ground, and our thoughts are very much with everyone caught up in such a distressing incident.
'The Club is aware that many individuals demonstrated extraordinary bravery which undoubtedly helped prevent even greater harm. The entire Nottingham Forest family stands firmly behind them as they recover from the events of yesterday.'

Marinakis offered financial support to aid those impacted, adding: 'Everyone at Nottingham Forest is shocked and deeply saddened by what happened.
'The courage and selflessness shown by our supporters on that train represents the very best of humanity and the very best of our club's community.
'We will make sure any supporter caught up in this incident receives whatever financial support they require to enable them to access the best possible medical care as they recover.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.'
The LNER train had been forced to make an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon station following a terrifying 15 minute knife rampage onboard.
British Transport Police received reports of the incident at 7.42pm yesterday before racing to the scene, where armed officers boarded the train and detained the two suspects.
Police said 11 people had been treated in hospital and two remained in a 'life-threatening condition', while four had been discharged.
Two British nationals - one black, 32, and one of Caribbean descent, 35, - are being held on suspicion of attempted murder.

There is 'nothing to suggest this is a terrorist incident', officers added today.
Nottingham Forest fan Alistair Day told the BBC that he and others had hid in the train's buffet carriage, while a fellow support confronted a man with a knife.
'I was just by the buffet car. It was odd. I was at the end of the carriage. All these kids were running up and I thought it was like a prank - Halloween or students,' he said.
'Then they're getting louder and louder any sorts of people with blood on them [appeared] and I thought, "Oh, bloody hell, this is not good."
Day added he had intervened to ask staff to let them into the buffet carriage after making them aware of the situation, with around 12 passengers locking themselves into the carriage.
He stated that a fellow fan, wearing a club tracksuit, had said 'I'm going to go confront him'.
'He wasn't the biggest guy and we tried to stop him,' Day said, before telling the broadcaster he had later seen the fan lying on the platform at Huntingdon station covered in blood.
'I just want to know he's OK,' Day added.
Passenger Olly Foster, who was in coach H, described how he was listening to an audiobook when a man 'suddenly ran past screaming "Run! Run! There's a guy stabbing literally everyone and everything"'

Passengers were filmed stumbling off a train clutching a blood-stained rag after a frenzied knife attack left 11 people hospitalised.
Striking footage, obtained by the Daily Mail, shows the confused victims look around asking 'where are we' as they stagger off the platform.
An 'absolute hero' - who is said to have used his head to block a knifeman from stabbing a young girl - is also understood to be in the recording.
Sirens can be heard blaring as the passenger holds a white rag to his head, with crimson-coloured blood seeping through.
He is assisted by another elderly passenger while one person can be heard shouting 'is he ok'.
An attendant cries 'everyone out' while the person filming says 'that's mad' as he records the injured gentleman walking away.
Eye witness Olly Foster said he heard passengers shout 'run, run' onboard the LNER Doncaster to London King's Cross train.
Foster said he had been listening to Audible on his phone in Coach H when warnings began to sound from other passengers.

He told the BBC: 'There were a few of us kind of looking at each other, thinking was it a joke - like, it's Halloween, they might be pranking.
'But then you could kind of see in their faces they were running.
'There was a girl, bless her, who was really, really in a bit of a state because the guy actually tried to stab her - and one of the older guys who as an absolute hero blocked it with his head.'
Mr Foster said the hero gentleman received a gash to his neck and head, prompting other passengers to hand him their jackets to help him stem the blood.
He recalled how helpless he and the other passengers felt 'being completely unarmed against an attacker or attackers that we thought had a gun'.
'I’m not sure how travelling on trains will feel after this. I haven’t really processed it all. It felt genuinely surreal and is something I don’t wish anyone to experience.
'Knowing somebody has weapons and you have nothing, knowing they’re willing to strike women and I think children. It wasn’t the England I grew up in. That was barbaric,' he said.
Wren Chambers, who was also onboard, said she heard shouting coming from a carriage or two down.
She told the BBC: 'Then a minute or two later, a man comes running down with a very clear wound bleeding quite badly on his arm and I thought it was a Halloween prank at first but then he was shouting that someone's got a knife, he was stabbed.
'Then a few more people came running down the train and I grabbed my bag and my coat, then I got up and moved forward down the train after them and then it just ended up all the passengers along the train just packing forwards.'
Ms Chambers said she 'saw someone who was very badly injured lots of blood around them' who looked like they were 'either collapsed or about to fall over'.
'People were trying to pass back hoodies to pack the wound,' she added.
The brave passenger made sure someone called the emergency services.
She said: 'There was a girl next to me who was near where the first stabbings happened. She said the man on the floor stepped in front of her and then got stabbed in the neck.
'We all just got off the train as calmly as possible as we were like there's no point piling on to each other. We knew the attacker was likely to still be on the train further down the line.'
In the hours after the attack, forensic officers could be seen apparently searching for clues on the track at the side of the train, which still had its lights on.
White-suited specialist officers, including one with a dog entered the station as a police drone hovered overhead.
Another member of the force, also with a police dog, was seen carrying out a sweep of the main station car park.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the 'appalling' incident near Huntingdon as 'deeply concerning'.
'My thoughts are with all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services for their response,' he said in a statement.
'Anyone in the area should follow the advice of the police.'
Ben Obese-Jecty, the MP for Huntingdon, said he had 'never seen as big a response' to an incident.
