Sports report drops classified results

[Otto_Man]

Basically because of the Premier League 5.30 game. What do we think are we bothered, do we all just look on our phones anyway?

Think everybody uses phones, but it's just another happy memory gone. Getting back to the car or transit at away games and catching results, da da, da da, da da, da da, da da da da da da da.

Seems a real shame, but I can’t remember the last time I listened to it. 
 

No way am I getting back to the car for 5 these days; and if I’m listening on the Radio then I’m still on RS to hear reaction etc or have turned off on disgust and want nowt to do with football if we’ve lost.

Nobody who has been to a game in the last 10 years has ever got back to the car for 5pm anyway

Presumably only the few people who listen to a portable radio and the stay at home people who would have been following the scores all afternoon anyway listened

Prisoners and hostages like football too Harry

Why does a game kicking off at 5:30 prevent 5 minutes being dedicated to reading all the results? It's not like going round the grounds or owt.

People are lucky to get out the ground by 5pm, never mind back in the car.

I think they want to fit in post match interviews, then build up to the game for 10 minutes.

The 5.30pm game was previously on Talksport but the BBC have taken this slot. Looks like the former have any Fri / Mon night games which were the BBC.

Ironically our game finished well after 5pm on Saturday. I looked at my phone at 5.02pm and we kept on playing.

And whilst I can look at my phone, I rarely get a decent signal in the stadium and I haven't quite mastered walk and scroll my phone.

I think ours was the last 3pm game to finish on Saturday. 

 

Just the 11 minutes added on
