Yes, it is hard to find the content I want to read some of the time there are so many adverts. Note to advertisers - I don't need to be told which of the young ladies, wearing very little, are 'hot'. I learnt how to do that for myself over 50 years ago and have not forgotten in old age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 On 11/17/2020 at 9:20 AM, Tinker said: I agree with the comment made by Topaz325. I started watching Speedway at the Shay, Halifax in 1966 so "older" articles on riders such as Eric Boocock, Ray Wilson and Jim Airey have some relevance to me. However, when I read any articles pre-dating the early 60's I tend to switch off. Having said all that the Star is a fantastic read and I really look forward to getting it each week. I love the Backtrack articles which have more of a depth to them and maybe something could be done on the same lines for more recent riders. Visited the Shay once Hyde road two or three times and Bradford three or four times, Bradford v Kings Lynn , British GP, world championship qualifiers etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS is certainly the worst week we have experienced and it isn't localised so no explanation there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their is enough comment to suggest local sorting offices are holding back magazines when they are under pressure with big demand, our postmen mentioned that that other weekly magazines were at least two days late this week. What makes it worse is the only thing my Postman delivered today was four pieces of junk mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topsoil Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Really enjoying the sections on the KO Cup finals of years gone by. Any idea of there will be a similar series for the second level i.e. National / Premier League? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasp Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Royal mail is a useless organisation I'm a dental technician my supplies can take 2 weeks to get to me.the only way to beat this is to order something that has to come via courier dpd etc next day. I now get my speedway star in morrisons Thursday no problem post will take 5 days have to say morrisons only had 1 star now its 5 copies.

tyretrax Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I cancelled my subscription a few years ago due to erratic deliveries, ASDA next to me have it occasionally Morrisons usually have it but that would mean almost a five mile round trip.

martinmauger Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Mine is late too. Not blaming the 'Star office as others said issues will have been posted and I get there are 'guarranteed next day delivery' options but it's annoying when junk mail and other post still arrives....
