martin_t Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 A great read as usual and to be honest even if it was at 3.50/ 4.00 pound it would still be great value.It is excellent,but don't give them ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I haven't managed to get a copy of the season preview yet - not even from my local Asda which usually has loads of copies - my last resort is Perry Barr track shop on Wednesday.

kitten2502 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 OR you can call 020-83351113 Tesco came to the rescue. There would be no point in ordering for delivery as I cannot bear crumpled/damaged/bent magazines - one reason why I refuse to buy pre-read (or 2nd hand ) shelf copies. Wish the magazine was poly wrapped to stop shop flickers - you either want to buy or you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I see a copy on the shelf at Smith's I tend to have a flick (and it is a flick!) thru'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Just started reading the latest Speedy Star, Jon Cook must have been completely p!$$€d up when doing his Premiership review. Spat my drink out when saw King's Lynn 7th He "don't think they'll really challenge for the Play-Offs" and the team "looks a fairly average pick"The tw@ even has Somerset above us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I think the Star folk just did it for a laugh. With it being the April 1st issue, and all. Getting two of the most unsuccessful managers of the modern era to give an insight into their 'knowledge'. Surely, if they had the first idea what made a winning team, they would have put more of them together It did feel a bit like we were 'mocking the afflicted' by putting the poor old dears up for public ridicule. But entertaining nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin man 76 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 The pre-season edition was an excellent read once again. Luckily I get my copy on subscription these days, as all the usual outlets in Carlisle appeared to have sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Presume it's the same person who answers the phone so I will definitely 2nd or 3rd that. I telephoned to renew my subscription on a Wednesday a few weeks ago, as I had stopped for the Winter, and I wanted to start with the previous weeks issue. All done very quickly and pleasantly and both copies arrived the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 I do hope that if there is a legal case over BVA 2016 Ltd and there is a result, I hope that SS will report on it fairly, openly and objectively and not whitewash where the fault lay? I am still critical of the part in the collapse of BVA 2017 played by DG /CM and hope that fans of the sport do find our the truth. I do respect the role played by DG / CM in delivering the NSS and congratulate them on that but to see PR continually claim they did nothing wrong in seeing it all fall apart is galling.
