Garry1603 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just a thought, has the Speedway Star ever considered going on 'Readily'? I don't know of how it works in regards revenue for the magazine and if it might actually tempt subscribers to look at the 'free' content instead (there's a monthly subscription to pay, but it's for pretty much unlimited magazines). I get monthly issues of magazines on there that I wouldn't ever think of buying a hard copy, but it keeps my interest going (eg gardening, photography etc). There's some really obscure sports have their mags on there which I am sure wouldn't be viable through hard copy sales, so maybe it keeps them afloat? It might just attract former fans back into the fold again and of course it keeps the sport slightly more in the public eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a4poster Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 No Speedway Star again - I think it has arrived once on a Thursday in the last six weeks. Not really a problem but just a little annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Royal Mail has acknowledged delays to its deliveries amid "exceptionally high volumes" of post and anti-Covid measures. Despite "exhaustive planning", customers may be experiencing "slightly longer delivery timescales." It came as people complained of late or missed deliveries... tell us about it!

South Wales is such a vital place for modern day speedway support. Does any member by chance know how well Speedway Star is doing on the Isle of Man?

Do you manage to get it in Penge, after all you are such a vital supporter of modern speedway, not having attended a meeting for about 15 years and no intention of doing so in the future. Sure all the tracks in 2021 will thank you for your support, as will the Speedway Star 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) i've had no post for 3 days now which is very unusual, i haven't been working locally so don't know if my normal Postie is off, but its no hardship the Star will turn up tomorrow or monday. On the plus side all the presents have been wrapped instead of me reading Edited December 11, 2020 by Triple.H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the Bible, the star that led the 3 wise men, kings, astrologists, from the East, was not visible when Jesus was born, it was some time later when Jesus was an infant. So, actually the star was very much later then December 24th, does that imply the Speedway Star will be that much late too. Hopefully not!
