Magazine Special

Stumbled across a new speedway magazine special today in WH Smiths titled 'Broadslide'.

 

Clearly from a 'biker mag' stable owing to a substantial amount of mechanical info but well worth checking out at only £6.99.

 

Nothing really new for us scholars of the past but some great photos and hopefully will be seen and bought by the 'used to go-ers' and casual speedway tv watchers.

Is this magazine to be published on a regular basis - weekly, monthly or quarterly?Or is it a one-off venture?

Seems to be running under a new category for me,"Bookazine" rather than book or magazine,so maybe hedging their bets on how well it sells?

I wonder if keepturningleft can look through his copy and advise us what the publishers might say in regard to future editions?

I'm pretty sure this is a one off.

These are the publishers:

Just flicking through it again - there's no hint of any follow up editions, so Tony Mac can rest easy!

 

There is a lot of info and history about the bikes, so it looks as if it is half aimed at the bikers and mechanically minded which may count against it as I'm sure most general speedway fans have little or no interest in that side of things.

 

Still worth checking out 'though.
