I must admit, I never make it back for 5pm anymore but running back with my dad in the Walter Smith days and not knowing the scores was just a golden memory for me.
Great stuff.

Thing is football fans are generally interested in all sorts of teams, results in all the leagues so it was perfect medium to give listeners the info they wanted in a few minutes.
Its fine to say that listeners can get the results from other bbc sources but you can say that about the news and I haven';t heard them talking about cutting that from any of their stations every hour.
And getting anything on my phone at Goodison or walking back to the car is virtually impossible so I relied on the radio.

To be honest I go watch irish league some Saturdays and I do like listening to all the scores when I get in the car at 5. Like you do follow some scores but you cant keep up with them all at a game and sometimes you have no signal in a crowd either. I will miss not hearing them all read out I think.
hey Carlos, I'm good thanks pal, got some time off work so loving things at the moment.
how are you mate?
All because the establishment club dropped two points I wager.

You don’t have a phone like everyone else?I'm livid
Well not really but it just goes to show how out of contact so many decision makers at the BBC are.
Anyone driving back from a game its often the first thing we want to listen too.
BBC Radio 5 Live drops classified football results
The traditional reading out of the football results at 5pm on a Saturday is axed by BBC Radio.www.bbc.co.uk
It’ll have been dropped for a reason - they have ratings data and if people simply don’t tune in to listen to something everyone has access to in much more immediate ways now, of course they’re going to drop it.

apart from the podcast radio hour which, like woman's hour, seems to be on most of the day and consists of women talking about women doing podcasts about women talking about women.Wha.....??
I believe it will continue online ... but that still makes my various radios now utterly redundant

They do have interesting things on it. In fact, all this week they have a dramatisation of A Month in the Country by J L Carr. A story of a WW1 veteran and his reflections on love and loss.
Also this week they have a biography of Roald Dahl.
R4 went downhill when it stopped being the Home ServiceWha.....??
Sorry did you say you were surprised it was being axed?

I didn't pass comment. I was replying to @chrismpw , who could moan and win a battle of the moaners competition without breaking sweat.
Genuinely no idea why I've replied to your post mate. It wasn't the one I was intending to reply to.I didn't pass comment. I was replying to @chrismpw , who could moan and win a battle of the moaners competition without breaking sweat.
Think I replied to a deleted post and it's defaulted to yours or something like that.
