BBC chiefs remain committed to ditching classified football results from Radio 5 Live’s Saturday schedule despite a backlash against the move. The decision has been condemned by the Football Supporters’ Association, while some fans have launched a petition urging the broadcaster to re-think. A statement said: “We appreciate the strength of feeling towards the classified football results within Sports Report. “We’d like to assure our listeners that results from across the football leagues will still be shared during the programme and through the afternoon. Results are also available in full on the BBC Sport website and during Final Score on BBC One.
