Blazeaway Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'd like to think that this was irony, but I'm sure it's not. He probably thinks irony is something you do to the middle of your trousers... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgy Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Speedway Star is £2.90, some say it's expensive. Depends what people want to spend money on but compare it to the price of a pint, I know which lasts longer and I don't mean drinking time. Agree it's still good value. If you get it every week a subscription works out much cheaper.

Before anyone asks no I'm not on commission Even better value if you go into Tesco, grab one off the shelf. Nip up to Costa for a latte, have a read and whack it back on the shelf on the way out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TesarRacing Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 No it's not for me. I still like flicking through the magazine. I used to prefer a magazine but now I use my iPad for certain publications I do like it. I have used it from day one, I like it, it's easy to navigate and read and you can go back a few previous issues if you want. I use it on my PC though and haven't tried it on anything else. Thank you. Are there any features in the on-line version that you don't get in the magazine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 My Star is on subscription, but since the magazine aisle is the last one I have to walk down to get to the tills in the supermarket, I always have a look at the Star, and if there's more than one left, I pick one up, pretend to have a read, and then put it back in the next place, doubling the Star's advertising space on the shelves Got to do your bit to promote the sport haven't you? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGP Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 FOR what it's worth, just been told SKY should confirm by Wednesday 18th and will have some VT features appearing on their Sky Sports News Channel- not sure if Flagrag can confirm, but this fits in with Phil's earlier comment too about being before Christmas. Also, Flagrag - is there any end of season review planned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Flagrag - is there any end of season review planned? One would have thought that if the decision to proceed with the deal is quite a fresh one, little consideration would have been given to the need for a highlights show, with the possibility of not even covering it next year. It would have been an anathema to build the sport up during a highlights show, but to end the proggie with "but we are covering next year folks."

Not that I know of, but Philip did say there might be a few late notifications which were too late for the printed version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Not that I know of, but Philip did say there might be a few late notifications which were too late for the printed version. IT is something we are thinking about for next year but, in fact, the online edition goes to Exact Editions as soon as the printed version is at the printers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Can't see why they are messing about. I think it is time now to let everyone know one way or another if we are having speedway or should I say Elite League speedway on our screens in 2014. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Do not think they are helping themselves. I phoned Sky to cancel the sports package some time ago, partly because it seemed at the time speedway would be dropped. If they are covering why not announce it and try not to lose more customers.

Only an idiot would buy Sky just for speedway. Plus, I doubt sky are losing any sleep because a few hundred speedway fans are dropping it.

Al Stewart Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Only an idiot would buy Sky just for speedway. I don't think that's a reasonable statement. I've certainly heard quite a few fans say they will cancel if Sky doesn't have speedway, which is much the same thing in reverse. They are all idiots? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
