Well thank god we picked up the points tonight, as its said the FA are to decide what punishment we will get for the postponing of the Leeds game
And its still a big possibility of it being points deducted ato be at least 3.

Heard this today on Eurosport

No, they were going on about the leagues around Europe and talked about the Championship and mentioned that next week the FA would meet to decide the punishment.
Nothing else was mentioned.
Have been surprised though nothing on Sky News or BBC.
But have been expecting something soon

And with Brums luck you just know they will give us a good tanking over it.

I cant believe we will get punished now...why has it taken so long. The FA are quick enough to recind red cards etc but 2 months and not a word.

We will get a fine and a "severe reprimand".

If we had points off for having one game postponed, why don't Shrewsbury have the same when their ground is underwater for two months of the season?

The FA are quite inconsistent in pretty much most of the decisions they make, I would say it's very hard to guess what the punishment would be for Blues missing the match due to a poor pitch at St. Andrews.

But this begs the question, why is it not clear what the punishment should be? Surely there would be set regulations as to how these situations are worked out? Birmingham isn't exactly the first team to postpone a game due to a poor pitch, so why isn't there a set procedure or guideline for this type of event?

For this even to have dragged on so long unresolved is just pathetic, what possible justification do The FA have for allowing this situation to go on unresolved? It hardly leaves me with the impression that The FA is effective and efficient in what it's supposed to be doing.

What a joke.

Just when evreyone is on the up and got the buzz back you have to throw this in.Think positive and we will cross that bridge when it comes.

If we go up and the punishment as not been dealt with before the end of the season we might start next season -3 points or worse.

Look what youv'e started youv'e got me at it now.

Listen,do you all remember when chelsea covered their pitch with SAND to play charlton and nothing was done agansit them.
We will get a telling off and maybe a fine but remember,blues can go all health and saftey on the F.A and that carries alot of weight these days.

Right i will ask the question again.

How the hell can you fine a football club for the fact that Birmingham had a severe weather front that was largely unexpected pass over it and ruin the pitch preparations??


I can see it now, Birmingham City fined 6 points and banned from promotion for 2 years because it rained. :LMAO: :LMAO: :LMAO:

The FA must have agreed to the pitch being relaid so i cant see how they can punish us when they are party to the cancellation.

I reckon they'll deduct 70 points and you'll finish 23rd, well ahead of Leeds.
