Birmingham City fans tell us where they were when the Blues got promoted
May 5 2009 By Steve Wollaston
Steve Bemand: I was sitting in my office in my log cabin in Kent, Connecticut, USA, listening to Tom Ross & Jon McCarthy call a great match, as I have listened to every Blues match this season.
My wife couldn't understand how come I was so low key and not going crazy celebrating. It's the relief that's it's over, I try to explain and those two characters were a no show this time, disappointment and despair!
Great listening to the Blues fans singing live from 3,000 miles away.
Sean, Brendan, Maggie (and birthday boy Mick) Callaghan: Much like Blues the afternoon started looking like a disaster but ended in style.
I mean who'd have been daft enough to hold their 50th birthday party to coincide (at 1pm) with the Blues' last but most crucial game of the season?
Who would have done so knowing that his two brothers and sister were Blues season ticket holders and he didn't even have Sky Sports? Introducing my brother Mick Callaghan.
Only to then go and completely surprise us by buying the Sky Sports package special!!
So victory from the jaws of defeat for a blissfully happy enclave of Blues fans in Aldridge!
Up the Blues!
Christopher Dunford: I am currently coaching football in the New Jersey/New York area of the USA. I was in a bar in New York City at 8.15 am to watch the match live. There were a few Bluenoses in there with me and the joy that was felt at the final whistle was fantastic. The city that never sleeps was treated to a great rendition of Keep Right On and Blues are Premier League!
