Watch this: Birmingham City fans reflect on Wembley heartbreak after dream season

We spoke to fans in Birmingham city centre to hear their thoughts on the result, what it means for the season overall, and what they want to see next.

Birmingham City fans had hoped for a fairytale ending to their title-winning season with a Wembley win — but Peterborough United had other ideas.

In a shock result, the League One underdogs stunned the Blues with two spectacular goals, leaving fans deflated after a flat performance from their team.

City came into the match with confidence: league champions, unbeaten in two meetings with Peterborough, and strong favourites.

But football doesn’t always stick to the script. On the day, Peterborough looked sharper, hungrier, and far more clinical. Birmingham struggled to create clear chances and failed to recover after falling behind.

“It just didn’t click,” one supporter told us. “It doesn’t ruin the season, but it definitely leaves a sour note.”

For many fans, the question now is what the loss means looking ahead to the Championship. Was this just a blip, or a sign of deeper issues? Some felt the team lacked urgency and direction when things didn’t go to plan — something that will need addressing before the step up in quality next season.

With the league title already secured, attention now turns to finishing the season strong. Fans we spoke to want to see intensity return, momentum rebuilt, and clear ambition for summer signings.

“The job’s not done,” another supporter said. “We’ve gone up — now we have to make sure we stay up.”

It may not have ended with a Wembley double, but the bigger picture remains one of progress. Promotion has been achieved, and Birmingham City are back in the Championship. But fans are now looking forward — and expecting a club that can compete, not just celebrate.
