Tom Ross Column: Birmingham City must do it the hard way
A win gets them up automatically although a draw would be enough if Sheffield United draw at Crystal Palace.
I remember when the fixtures came out last July; everyone was saying the chase for promotion would go to the last game of the season at Reading. Sadly, it has gone down to the wire.
The stress levels of any Blues fan must be at a very unhealthy level this week as they wait for the club’s day of destiny.
How we are not all in therapy, heaven only knows.
Blues fans certainly do not deserve to have to go through this football equivalent of the Chinese water torture time after time.
Just for once, why couldn’t Blues have had a stress-free promotion with the team ten points clear at the end of the season? Then you remember they never, ever, do anything the easy way.
I will be at the Madejski on Sunday doing live commentary for those Blues fans that can’t get tickets; I just hope for them that I am presenting a promotion party after the final whistle on 96.4fmBRMB.
There are big issues to be addressed by the board regarding the team whether promotion is achieved or not. Moreover, those issues are very different depending on what division Blues are in.
