'What could possibly go wrong?' - Tom Brady's Birmingham City spark ridicule with £2 pint offer BEFORE 11.30am ahead of Norwich relegation showdown

As the Championship season nears its conclusion, Birmingham City faces a crucial fixture against Norwich City at St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park, presenting their final opportunity to stave off relegation to League One. And before the kickoff, the club has decided to introduce a happy hour which would see them sell beer at a discounted rate from 10.30 am until 11.30 am. They believe this would rally the fans to the stadium and help them do their job as the 12th man during a season-defining fixture.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">A thank you for your amazing support all season long.

WHAT HAPPENED?

An X user @TheSpecialRon mocked the decision and wrote: "Football clubs:'Please drink responsibly and behave yourselves."Blues: Drink as many £2 pints as you can in an hour. From 10.30. In the morning'."Meanwhile, @26jpa wrote: "It’s basically saying get hammered and be roudy. I’m all for it. In fact, I think it should be a mandatory shot as you go through the turnstile too. Kids and all."@RoughleySpeakin got sarcastic and commented: "Just tremendous - at long last, the owners are starting to get the fans!!!"Whereas, @FBAwayDays asked: "£2 a pint with the possibility of being relegated. What could possibly go wrong? 🫣"The crowd is already geared up to make the most of the offer with long queues spotted in front of the bar.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">£2 pints Happy Hour is here. ⏰ <a href="https://t.co/qLVkNfbqn0">pic.twitter.com/qLVkNfbqn0</a>— BCFC Supporter Services (@BCFCEnquiries) <a href="https://twitter.com/BCFCEnquiries/status/1786692318336000301?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 4, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

After a goalless draw against Rotherham United, a team destined for League One, Birmingham City's hopes of securing Championship survival were dealt another blow in a lacklustre performance against Huddersfield Town. Despite the urgency for a victory to bolster their league standing, the Blues once again faltered on the road, leaving them in a precarious position.For Gary Rowett's side, the task ahead is monumental. With just one point separating them from 21st-placed Plymouth Argyle, who hold a significantly superior goal difference, Birmingham City's fate hangs in the balance. However, their fate is not solely in their hands. They must also rely on slip-ups from other relegation-threatened teams — Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield Wednesday, or Blackburn Rovers — to tip the scales in their favour.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Birmingham, a club with a rich history and tradition, faces the looming spectre of dropping into the third tier of English football for the first time in thirty years — a prospect that seemed inconceivable earlier in the season when they occupied a commendable sixth place under John Eustace's management. However, a disastrous spell under Wayne Rooney, where they won just twice in 15 matches, derailed their campaign.

DID YOU KNOW?

For Birmingham City supporters, it's a nerve-wracking wait as they cling to the hope that their beloved club can defy the odds and emerge victorious in this final showdown. The journey has been fraught with challenges and setbacks, but now, more than ever, the spirit of resilience and unity must prevail as the club fights for its survival. Hopefully, the beer would help them bring out their loudest version possible.
