Grandstand Opener - Music By Tony Royden

[JokaPlaya]

it's not the classic but it's not bad neither.

[hellsnangel]

I vote we bring Grandstand back, my dad wrote the original and i'm very proud of him. I miss feeling that pride every weekend! Who's up for starting a petition??

[kieranfletch]

damn this was a good version

fuck the bbc bunch of nazis all their programs are shit now

eastenders has shit storylines and actors so they have resort to bringing back old character

Red Dwarf isnt coming back i fucking love that show

Office is done aswell and that was a great show

no frigging Simpsons either

no grandstand

FUCK THE BBC we pay a tv license we deserve good programming

itv and bbc are so bad FIVE is starting to look good

at least FIVE has CSI

[auto98]

Not one of those programs you mentioned were actually made by the BBC in the first place, so not sure the point you are trying to make?

[graywolf162]

dont forget robot wars they sold that and it had 6 million views the dicks handed it oer to the facists at 5

[kieranfletch]

the point is that bbc has changed and is shafting its license payers

we watched red dwarf and it was time for a break but when they wanted to bring it back bbc said no funding for you

they cancelled the iconic grandstand!

they gave up simpsons

it dosnt matter if shows arnt bbc produced its about what was iconic and popular for the bbc, what it used to show and how its changed

Cute though it is, this recording is not a patch on the original recording of the same score, used from 1975 onwards.

[THELEICESTERFOX]

I bet the people who complained about this are the same who complain when the Beeb change tunes.

[graemewho]

Who's complaining?

[THELEICESTERFOX]

I said the people who got this one removed, ae the ones who complain about the BBC when they change the tunes!

[THELEICESTERFOX]

Why didnt it last for long?

It sounds the same like the one we all know of.

Shame thats the BBC's idiots wont bring it back...Grandstand was great

[abbybanne]

Yea it's a shame they stopped using this version - way better! It lasted the best part of a year though (not just a few weeks), up until they changed the graphics in 2001. Good to hear it again :-)

[Littleswamp1]

This was an alternate jazzed up version that only lasted a few weeks. Pity!

[Danltn]

One hell of a good tune, I still love it!

[leepenfold]

this tune came out in 1999-2000 season when Chelsea Beat Sunderland 4-0 in the Fa Carling Premiership
