Gemini Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 No it wasn't Have I missed something? Sorry teaboy ~ it's just a bit of an on-going guessing game trying to find out who Robert72 is because he claims to have been a Speedway rider and some don't believe him. Thought I might have cracked it then but obviously not so back to the drawing board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Speedway Star seems more available in shops now, like that, can have a good old flick through when I'm out and about 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagonshocker Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Despite the fact you can generally find out any latest news online or bulls**t in here i still do look forward to buying the Star every thursday, always find something interesting in there despite it being silly season , keep up the good work Phil and people 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I enjoy reading mine each week, Brian Burfords piece this week was excellent. One other good thing about the Star is, I can read whats going on each week in the Speedway world without having to read all the drivell and pointless twit for tats in between threads on this forum. That is worth the price alone! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Speedway Star this week says that on 6 October 2012 Chris Holder shocked the world by becoming the youngest World Champion. Surely Michael Lee, for one, was younger? Just got to the end of the article and see the interview was for Monster Energy. Perhaps this explains the inaccuracy.

phillipsr Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 But it is crap!! It avoids every slightly controversial moment, plays favourites with certain riders and id just generally terrible value for money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It avoids every slightly controversial moment, plays favourites with certain riders and id just generally terrible value for money I wouldn't say it's crap but the journalism, at times, leaves a lot to be desired. After my earlier post re Chris Holder being the youngest World Champion I find Craven, Moore, Collins, Lee and Woffinden were all younger. Does the editor actually check articles before they appear?

After my earlier post re Chris Holder being the youngest World Champion I find Craven, Moore, Collins, Lee and Woffinden were all younger. Does the editor actually check articles before they appear? That has been my contention for years now. There is no incisive, investigative or thrusting journalism in the Magazine any longer. I used to really look forward to my 'Speedway Star' for many years - I got it every week. I rarely bother now as, to me anyway, it just toes the party line and appears to want to avoid upsetting anyone. It certainly is not the same 'Speedway Star' that I enjoyed so much all those years ago, along with the 'Speedway Mail', 'Speedway Express' etc.. Such is progress I suppose. :sad: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is worth the price alone! Aye getting away from the pages of juvenile mud slinging , I agree . £2-90 isn't an astronomical amount for a magazine in this day and age . Having an actual magazine to hold in your hands to read is always better than clicking a mouse on a computer , much the same as holding an LP in your hands rather than downloading something . I've grown up reading the Speedway Star and into my late fifties , I still do . Much of the soundtrack to my lifelong love of speedway was being greeted entering the stadium at Glasgow by a bloke shouting " get yer Speedway Star , Speedway Mail " , you just had to buy both . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
