The end of the Football results

[Martyn Miles]

I’m no football fan, but here were go with another BBC tradition finished.
I loved the way they were read ( back in the ‘60s, when I heard it ) with the tone of the voice
changing, dependant on the score.

I miss the Radio 4 theme.
Before it stopped I recorded it.
Lovely to listen to again.

At least we still have ‘Sailing By.’
For now...

 

[Woodface]

I miss the idea of it but can’t remember the last time I listened.

When did anyone last check their pools coupon on a Saturday afternoon? That's what the results were for.

And the results coming through 'live' via the teletype machine on Grandstand.

Later:

No more a chance of hearing that legendary scoreline "East Fife 4, Forfar 5"?

 

[RidleyRumpus]

Stupid decision, it is still useful and it only takes up about 5 min of airtime.

 

[Man in a van]

I always thought Brechin City Nil was a real place

Useful?
