Last updated : 09 May 2012 By Covsupport News Service

Former Coventry City forward Marlon King won't be going to Wembley for the Championship Play-Off Final against West Ham United.

His Birmingham City side who trailed 1-0 from the first leg, drew 2-2 with  Blackpool who fielded Coventry kid Ian Evatt at St Andrews.

Stephen Dobbie and Matt Phillips scored either side of the break past former City loanee Colin Doyle, for Ian Holloway's side before Zigic pulled one back in the 63rd minute and then Curtis Davies headed in to equalise in the 72nd minute.

Birmingham went looking for the goal to take the match into extra time but could not find it and they now face another season of Championship football whilst Blackpool go to Wembley to face West Ham United.
