They've destroyed Grandstand in general by splitting Saturday afternoon into three separate programmes.
Grandstand was at its best when it ran from 12.15pm right through until 5.20pm, included Football Focus and Final Score, and had one regular anchor (Bough, Lynam, Rider) who linked everything together. Nowadays, its a minimum of three presenters, and Grandstand itself only runs from 1.00pm to 4.30pm, with a different presenter every week depending on the content.
Score, however, is a great idea, and it absolutely should remove some of the need for latest score bars.
Well said BBC Sport. The beauty of the old Grandstand was keeping on top of several events simultaneously. It gave the programme a distinctive look and feel that the new version can't touch.

I know your on about a different "score bar", but it really annoys me on Grandstand how they flash up the football results everytime someone scores - especially during the Rugby. They wouldn't flash up rugby results during football.
Nowadays most viewers have access to either Score Interactive or BBCi Text / Ceefax if they want the latest score!
