racers and royals Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 can anyone tell me the predictions for the year? Poole and Workington to be the winners this year-It was Middlo and Jacko who did them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 loved the report on the fiasco last week at brandon, fair and factual and asked the 'layman' questions that we all had... That's the bit that caught my eye. An excellent, objective, no punches pulled article of the kind for which Speedway Star used to be renowned. Great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 By the reporter who covers their club for the star I would assume. Word on the street is that the chap doing the Lynn fan's view has done it before. Its a shame they couldn't seek out somebody different, seems like a bit of a closed shop.

SteveLyric2 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Good to see some clubs are still attracting younger fans, who can string a decent sentence together!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Fantastic edition, congratulations to all at Speedway Star.Agree some great reading.Had to laugh at the Coventry preview thou. Mick Horton is quoted as saying "Your going to see some terrific racing at Brandon this year" (not in March your'e not) and the fan said Belle Vue could have a good season if they sorted their track out (stones and glass houses) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) can anyone tell me the predictions for the year? 1. Coventry to stage a home meeting by July. 2. Tsunami and TWK to have a row, but kiss and make-up around September-time (it's play-off time, and TWK is always on edge while those are taking place). 3. Prague to stage a GP on a slick and rubbish track. All the best Rob Edited April 1, 2014 by lucifer sam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxey63 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) For some bizarre reason, I still get Speedway Star but rarely do anything ohter than flick through the pages and, as the old joke goes, look at the pictures (I can read though). Looking at this year's line-ups, I am shocked at how many riders I don't actually know! I didn't know this rider was riding for that team, he was back there, or said rider was trebling up and down and down once more. I never thought it, but today's domestic speedway is akin to the schoolday PE lessons, the chilly playing field in Salford when teacher allowed the best two players (Poole and A NOTHER) to choose their strongest sides and the two most hopleess players were left till last (Belle Vue and...) . It is like a scenario of whoever is available is slotted in. There is no team ethic as such, just a bunch of expression-less faces for an eve-of-season photo-shoot that will be as much out of date next week as last month's bank statement. Never-the-less, I cling on to the sport, hoping the the long run that it isn't IT.. it is ME... I am the one that's wrong. I live in hope.
