moxey63 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Is anyone else alarmed that Speedway Star aren't supplying scorers in their winter review sections? Please say it's just an oversight and normal service will be resumed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Not quite on this subject but relating to the 'Best of British' series. Very good stuff and I especially like how a broader approach given to putting each of the British World Championship winners' years into a wider context of world history. But what the 'eck was THIS about in the first part, the one relating to Tommy Price? Talking of the 'debate' on which of the big events pre-1936 and then between '46 & '50 might be called true World Championships. it says this, "Boxing and darts, of course, have been plagued by different World Championships over the years, to the confusion of most. And speedway's still at it to this day. In the season just gone we've apparently seen Exeter and Wimbledon take to the track. Strangely, Exteter's County Ground has gone while Wimbledon's Plough Lane merely echoes to the sound of yapping greyhounds and the occasional rumble of stock cars." What on earth does this bit about 'Exeter and Wimbledon have to do with the World Championship..?! I did get a bit of a feeling that the writer was lapsing into a stream of consciousness style in other parts of this piece but this is just plain bizarre!!

Nice one young Phil... thought you were forgetting us speedway nerds. Always like to have them... but did prefer the old block version (when each rider had a grid), not the present format (riders placed in the position they rode the match in) ... if you know what I mean. Never mind... still worth having. Think it's a bit mystifying they aren't in the mag though, for future historians etc. Yes, in fact I had to be talked down from the top of a very tall building only yesterday. Jesus Christ... Although I like the winter stats, my post was termed in a way to take the urine out of fellow speedway forumers. Out of interest, which glub can we blame for persuading you not to jump. Never mind, would have been a shame to ruin your programme board, tucked in your left side patch-pocket trouser leg.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny the spud Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Is it just me or will anyone seeing the last 3 weeks covers in the newsagents dismiss the magazine as some kind of vintage specialist publication as opposed to an exciting sport which is trying to encourage new younger fans ?

I think there's room for both old pics and new ones - least you'll be able to remember the old pictures, unlike modern ones that all look the bleading same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Is it just me or will anyone seeing the last 3 weeks covers in the newsagents dismiss the magazine as some kind of vintage specialist publication as opposed to an exciting sport which is trying to encourage new younger fans ? yes i agree ,although i like the best of british and other retro stuff i dont expect it to be in the Speedway Star .if that sort of stuff is not your thing and track review is not your team then the star in the last few weeks is not worth buying ,very little else in it . There is plenty of things good and bad going on in speedway at the moment but if its lazy journalism or not wanting to upset the powers that be it just dosent get in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who remembers when another Speedway Star editor introduced World Ratings in the late 1950s? They can still be found out there in cyber space via a Google search.
