Birmingham City fans tell us where they were when the Blues got promoted
May 5 2009 By Steve Wollaston
Grant: I was sat in a hotel room in Turkey - working away from home. I was hitting refresh on BBC Sport and Sky News back to back every 30 seconds. Never felt so far away from home in my life - pacing up and down for 90 minutes like an expectant father!! When the final whistle went, I treated most of Istanbul to a teary version of Keep Right On!!! :)
Nick Skudder: Watching in West Wales, Broad Haven Pembrokeshire, exiled Bluenoses in the Swan Inn Little Haven, did a congo on the beach, much to the locals/holidaymakers amusement!
Kevin Tomkinson: "I was in the Madjeski Stadium on Sunday, very nervous to start with, singing, hoping for the win! Fahey scored, felt a little calmer, Super Kev scored, surely we have done it now, then silence as we let one in. The last 30 minutes seemed to take for ever, rumours of a Sheffield goal, then the 6 minutes of injury time!!! At last the final whistle went! We sung, cheered and clapped the team, the promoted team!! Well done Blues! Keep Right On
Michael Doherty: I was Travelling back from spending the weekend in the lake district with my wife and three daughter listening to Talk Sport and blue nose Dant’s keeping me up to date, turning to Tom Ross as soon as BRMB came in range it was a very stress full drive home with all my family and i willing the ball into the net.
It was the perfect end to my weekend away and the end of a very stressful season.
Keep right on
Ann Cox: I was in the house as when we played Preston and we could have been promoted then and Blues scored the goal, I put a bottle of wine in the fridge ready to celebrate which was a big mistake, as we went to 1-1 the 1-2,
So I stayed in the house and watched sky sports, I told my daughter not to do anything ( like put a bottle of wine in the fridge as it could have been a big big mistake, but when we scored the first goal I kept praying to get another goal. When we did it was great, but then Reading scored and I was extremely nervous, until the Blues scored again.
But I did celebrate all weekend, and had a go at the Villa Fans ha ha.
