GRIMSBY TOWN 3, carlisle United 0.   Oh and who can forget the music that introduced the programme bang on 5 o'clock. It was always a race to listen to that tune when getting back to the car !

Change for change's sake. Obviously the wrong decision, but there you go. They will try and modernise anything if they can.

Presumably they don't want car drivers looking at their phone apps etc? On a more serious note there will be partially sighted or blind people who rely on radio to find out how their team has got on. Poor decision... The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress. Joseph Joubert.
