Birmingham set a new League One points record with a 4-0 hammering of Mansfield to reach 105 with two games remaining.
First-half goals from Keshi Anderson and Willum Willumsson, followed by strikes in the second from Kieran Dowell and Tomoki Iwata, saw Chris Davies' side pass the previous best of 103 set by Wolves in the 2013/14 season.
The League One champions now need two more points to break Reading's all-time English league high of 106 achieved in the 2005/06 Championship.

Birmingham took the lead in the 24th minute when Anderson and Willumsson produced an intricate one-two on the edge of the area and the former fired low into Christy Pym's bottom corner.
Blues doubled their lead 16 minutes later when Alex Cochrane's cross picked out opposite full-back Ethan Laird beyond the back post. Pym parried his powerful header but only to Willumsson who converted from seven yards.
The hosts increased their lead five minutes after the break when Dowell headed Paik Seung-ho's left-wing cross firmly home and seven minutes later it was 4-0 as Dowell's impudent back-heel freed Iwata to stroke home.
