Birmingham City has secured promotion to the Championship after a 2-1 victory over Peterborough United. Goals from Alfie May and Taylor Gardner-Hickman ensured the win, placing Birmingham 17 points ahead of third-placed Wycombe Wanderers with six matches remaining, making their promotion mathematically certain.
Under the guidance of manager Chris Davies, Birmingham has experienced a remarkable turnaround, suffering only three league defeats this season. This success comes after significant investment, with the club spending £25 million on 17 new players at the start of the season.
The club is also on track to break the League One points record of 103, set by Wolves in the 2013/14 season. With a maximum potential of 113 points, Birmingham has the opportunity to make history.
Additionally, Birmingham is set to face Peterborough United again in the EFL Trophy final at Wembley, aiming for a third cup win.
This promotion marks a significant milestone for Birmingham City, reflecting the club’s strategic investments and effective management. Fans are optimistic about the team’s prospects in the Championship and the potential for continued success.
