Play Offs for Reading
Reading’s chances of automatic promotion were finally extinguished at the Madejski Stadium as Birmingham City clinched the Championship runners-up spot with a 2-1 victory over Steve Coppell’s men. Keith Fahey and Kevin Phillips scored the goals for the Blues with Marek Matejovsky grabbing Reading’s goal. The score-line means Reading finish in fourth place of the Championship, but have another bite of the promotion cherry through the Play-Offs, where they now face fifth placed Burnley.
