screm Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Don't like the new layout at all. You have to search through it for your teams news instead of being able to go straight to it. No logo beside the team news and two or three items about the same club in two or three different places instead of all together. Please go back to old format. Â I like it,its looks new and modern,maybe if your having to search for your teams column your reading bits in the Speedway Star that normally you wouldnt read and that can only be a good thing surely.Ok it might take a week or two to get used to the new layout but on this occasion I think change is a good thing. Â Well done Speedway Star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I expected to read this thread and see the usual Speedway Star bashing . So the new format must be liked as there's no bashing to be found , hardly . I think it's great and long may the magazine continue . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratton Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 A great read and no doubt in my mind it is great value for money fair play it has stayed the course and moved with the times.Am very very surprised it hasn't gone up to the rounded figure of 3 pound because everything else has gone up.!

george.m Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Only just finished reading my copy and a great read it was too. Seems the majority on here give it the thumbs up. There'll always be someone on BSF who thinks they can do better, or the staples are the wrong distance apart. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Congratulations to the speedway Star for another superb preview edition. Seems to be a lot of new faces this year in the fans view part of the teams preview-any forum members amongst the 23 featured ?  Will Manchester Paul find anything wrong with it ? looks like we will have to download the mini-max race card (or an alternative) for Saturday`s GP as the Star didn`t have room for it in this week`s publication.  Without a doubt the best edition ever (unless there was a better one in the 90's when i was away from speedway).  Yeah i noticed the average age of the fans has come down from the usual prerequisite of being within a year or two of receiving one's telegram from the queen. Some of us did point that out last year lol. Nothing against our elders at all their views are as valid (even more so at times) as anyones but it goes against the grain of making a sport look exciting/appealing. Not me being ageist there, it's just the way of the world of promoting and advertising.  It's rare indeed i find fault with the Speedway Star i have praised and defended it to the hilt on many counts throughout the years.  A major improvement to revert to aphabetical order! Far easier to use when/if being used during the year to get directions to a track! Don't worry the Pirates are still predicted to finish first!!!  The request for an index or alphabetical order was raised last year and again this year (not just by myself) and all credit to Philip RIsing who followed through upon when he said he would mention the matter.   Don't like the new layout at all. You have to search through it for your teams news instead of being able to go straight to it. No logo beside the team news and two or three items about the same club in two or three different places instead of all together. Please go back to old format. i agree with oldtimer please can it go back to how it was  Ok that's my only quibble....and i do agree totally. Usually when there is a tv match on or ahead of a Belle Vue match i glance back at recent issues to see what's been going on etc. As it now stands it just monotonous blocks of text that one has to plough through (uh oh left myself wide open for someone to say 'exactly like my posts' lol....tough i beat you all to it lol lol lol). Additionally with articles about a club being spead over multiple pages one has to thumb through every page, very poor design.  Again though massive thanks and appreciation for a superb editon crammed full of meaningful content. I certainly reckon there is more detailed insight this year.  They seem to have taken on fans comments and wishes regards desired content. Best addition of the lot is the excellent 'Track Walk' feature. Awwwww! not sure why it is limited to just the Elite League tracks though. But again it looks like a case of listening to fans requests as (again not just myself) it was mentioned last year that some of us would prefer the space allocated to the fans view be given over to a review of the racing surface.  Hopefully this issue is available at all tracks for a good month or so alongside the current weekly issues. They deserve to get every penny possible for the hard and fine work put into it.  Footnote for (obsessed?) followers of my musings, i'm not going to be around to post much at all this season as i've got a lot of good things going on elsewhere. So this a rare-ish dip into the forums for me this season and it made me chuckle away to see mention of me already lol, sooooo haven't got the time to look around for more. That's a shame as you know i like the right of reply hee hee. Oh well life goes on regardless  Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!  Don't give Philip ideas. :unsure:  I never get tired of mentioning the considerable saving on the cover price one gets by subscribing, so they can up the price heftily as far as i'm concerned a subscriptioin is well value for money.

PHILIPRISING Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 WE have been very lucky that our Polish photographer Jarek Pabijan has stepped into the void left by Mike Patrick.
