Birmingham City Women are currently second in the Championship, two points off London City Lionesses, and will face off against the first-placed side in a pseudo-final to try and secure both the title and promotion back to the WSL. Brady has now urged the Bluenoses to make their way to St Andrew's on Sunday to support the women's team, just as they did last weekend for the men's side.

On social media platform X, Birmingham City posted a video in which Brady said: "Blues fans, this Sunday is massive for our women's team. One game, one win, and they’re promoted to the Women’s Super League. They’ve worked so hard all year long for this moment, and now it’s time for us to show up.
"You guys brought the energy for the men's side last weekend at St. Andrew's, now let's pack that place again and get behind our women. This is a chance to make history for the club. Let’s help them lift that trophy and bring home some hardware of their own. Keep right on!"
WHAT NEXT FOR BIRMINGHAM CITY?
Birmingham City Women will have to win the clash to secure promotion, as a draw or a loss would see the London City Lionesses take top spot instead.
