No more 5 o'clock football results

[South Coast Miller]

Gutted. I'm sure there aren't many who take their tranny to the match these days so they can listen to the football results going out the ground or on their way home as they all have smart phones but I shall still miss it, not so much going home from the match now but when I'm travelling in the car I can always rely on Sports Report to keep me in the loop. Not any more. I also used to enjoy when on the allotment where I never took my phone if I could help it. What a shame! And why? How will it save them money? Beggar! Don't you hate progress?

It’s just another sacrifice on the altar of Premiership football

It’s just another sacrifice on the altar of Premiership football

Too true! They've got it in for us footy fans of teams outside the Premiership. I know they get the biggest crowds but there are 20 teams in the Premiership and 72 in the EFL. And we're all fanatical about our local team, desperate for news and coverage. The newspapers are going the same way. Our paper has a Monday supplement called Goal which used to cover all divisions pretty well but now you might as well change the name to Premiership. You get about half a page covering the EFL and 15 pages covering the Premiership. I dread the EFL one day just being populated with the second and third strings of Premiership teams.

Believe it or not, we do not buy said national daily newspaper just for the Monday football supplement - there's the cricket as well.

And remember “ Match of the Day” is really “ Premiership Match of the Day”

And still paying Lineker millions
