Congratulations to Leeds United and Birmingham City who both marked their final home fixtures of a captivating 2024/25 campaign with special promotion publications.
Daniel Farke’s Whites thumped Stoke City to confirm a return to the Premier League and produced a brilliant cover montage for their end of season matchday programme for the 4-0 success over Bristol City at Elland Road.
Featuring the full squad of first-team players above a ‘We Are Premier League’ strap, this commemorative edition was sure to be a must have piece of treasured memorabilia for Leeds supporters across the generations.
The Championship leaders have won 28 times and scored a divisional high of 93 goals as they have accumulated 97 points, a record total for the club, to reestablish themselves in English football’s top-flight.
Similarly, Birmingham amassed a 105-point campaign as they won League One in style. Manager Chris Davies masterminded the West Midlands club to 32 victories as they lifted league title silverware for the first time since 1994/95.
The Blues produced a celebration gatefold cover for the visit of Crawley Town over Easter once promotion had been confirmed, then opted for a bumper edition for their final game at St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park against Mansfield Town.
The extended publication included a feature-length sit down with League One's Manager of the Season Davies, as well as interviews with captain Krystian Bielik, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and an extensive month-by-month season review.
Commenting on the landmark creations, Ignition Sports Media’s Commercial Director Lee Berry said: “Both of these promotion-winning sides, in Leeds United and Birmingham City, have shown imperious form during record-breaking campaigns throughout 2024/25, so it was fitting that their final home publications of the season were equally as standout to mark these milestone occasions in the club’s histories.”
