The White Knight Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Have to agree with this point on the front cover. It does look a bit amateurish and it made me laugh when my wife commented that the SS cover resembles a 90s Porn Magazine. You might like to ask your Wife how she knows that? :shock: :rofl: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonmole Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Phil and Peter are professional journalists. It shows. They know how to tell stories. Aren't most of the Speedway Star writers professional journalists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonmole Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Not always. There's people around writing stuff, but have never had the proper training. Some can't tell a story to save their lives. And it shows! Like who Richard?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawks 1975 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Another great issue this week with plenty of interesting reading, but one question. Is the Star no longer supporting Fantasy Speedway? Have I missed something? No rider listings to date as far as I know. Be a pity - anything that keeps the fans interested surely must be a positive.

Concordia Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 It would appear the speedwaystar website is not working on sky wifi at the moment, it works fine on 4g/3g however I have tested it on different wifi connections but it says account is suspended. Just thought Id let you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten2502 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I have to say how touching the Ricky Ashworth article is in this weeks SS - that young man's attitude and also that of his Dad should be an inspiration to us all. I'm glad to have, in some small way contributed to the new "family friendly" home. Keep up with the recovery Ricky................. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FANTASY Speedway League fans can now enter the 2017 competition online at www.fantasy-speedway.com. The new league season launched two weeks ago and would-be promoters can begin their team building by logging onto the website and registering to play. There is a first prize of £1,000 awaiting the eventual winner, plus many more prizes for managers of the month and the winner of the end-of-season play-off competition. Speedway Star is happy to endorse this year’s competition run by our friends at fantasy-speedway.com but we would like to stress that the magazine and publishers Pinegen Limited no longer have any involvement in the FSL. All inquiries should be directed to the FSL via e-mail to: admin@fantasy-speedway.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they got rid of the Fox now? Or is it some kind of legal high, TWK has acquired Gemini? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Be my guest 0345601021 Have you taken up my offer yet Philip? Last weeks Star not here yet, sitting looking at my renewal and thinking "Will I, won't I ?" I know Asda next to me get it but they can't guarantee it and they won't hold it for me. So having read the Star since 1964, is this the end? Edited March 20, 2017 by tyretrax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So having read the Star since 1964, is this the end? HAVE been away but will check with the office on Wednesday. Sadly, I have no doubt what your local office will say: "It's not their fault." But there must be something wrong there because literally thousands of other people get their copy either on a Thursday or latest Friday. Once it leaves our office at 10am on a Wednesday we have absolutely no control over its delivery schedule... more's the pity. I do sympathise and we don't like to lose any subscribers but it is out of our hands. Is there not another local newsagent that will take a regular order from you? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
