    Even after 13 and a half years (writing this in June 2020) it still doesn't seem like a normal Saturday, and sometimes Sunday afternoon without hearing the Grandstand theme on the telly.

    Grandstand and Top of the Pops leaving the air was the true sign of the end of the British Empire.

    Still have not forgiven the BBC for this. For many sports lovers Grandstand was iconic and created many memories when I was growing up

    Grandstand with David Coleman, Frank Bough, World of Sport with Dickie Davies, The Big Match with Brian Moore,..I miss them all.

    Wonder why they didn't play the full theme at the end instead of just looping the same bit over and over....

    All those sports "to look forward to" at the end there... What's the difference a few years makes! There's nothing left!

    One of my favourite sports programmes, growing up as a kid. It's theme music was iconic, and the service too. Sad day when that ended 😢

    Oh the excitement watching the tele-printer then the vidi-printer when your teams name started to appear on the screen, and the anticipation of the score.

    It’s difficult to explain to anybody under 20 why Grandstand was so great.

    I felt really nostagic watching this.

  • @user-no2ic3uy4e

    It makes me want to cry hearing the end credits of Grandstand because it's all about the past and youth

    The fact that this is on BBC 2 says it all. Grandstand had sport for everyone and anyone. The words that set up your Saturday afternoon "And now on BBC 1, Grandstand, with Desmond Lynam"
