"The event was very well managed by the club and we commend the additional arrangements put into place to maintain pitch security," the FA said in a letter reproduced on the club's official website, www.bcfc.com

“The FA is quick to ask clubs for their observations when things go wrong.

“It is only right, therefore, that we now write to compliment Birmingham City for a job well done.”
