Neila Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 On 12/23/2022 at 10:19 PM, Speedtiger said: The SS is still a good read, full of very interesting articles and well produced, however sadly SS is a victim of the decline of speedway in the UK. The SS circulation numbers must have fallen off a cliff as the numbers of speedway spectators have plummeted. Just like the sport it supports SS must be becoming financially unsustainable. Agree it must be hard work to keep the speedway star in print, but several people I know still buy the speedway star and have not been to a meeting in the UK for many years since their team folded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berniev123 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 If Dave is reading this site: He sent three online copies last week which I was most grateful for! Is it possible to change from the [paper copy for the rest of my subscription to electronic delivery? If you do not read this, I will contact on Thursday before you close.

MassMarauder Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 I am a US based subscriber - who looks forward to my weekly Star. The UK postal disruptions have affected delivery to my Stateside address - and a local dispute here in our State also has had an effect. I had some October issues arrive in early December and a couple of issues never arrive, but the folks at the magazine have sent replacement copies without any questions. I have yet to see teh December 17th turn up - but given the Xmas rush and that the season is over, I am not too bothered, Yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just finished reading about the late Ronnie's career with Rainbow esp the very excellent Long Live Rock & Roll album. Will be revisiting the listening of Motorhead's seminal Ace Of Spades LP later (3 x LP vers hardbound w 40 page book - reduced from £54.99 to £29.99 in HMV sale ) later accompanied by a burger & plenty of drinkipoos. Likely through headphones as girlf is out tonite - no need 'to behave' - may yet share the experience with the neighbours once all the fireworks start going off, which in Hull could well be around teatime. I'm not kidding. Happy New Year to all in speedway ....

bruno Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Anyone still having delivery problems with the star. After having no problems for a few years with newsteam mine has been late 5 times out of the last 6 weeks. Dave's sent me a link which is great but getting a bit cheesed off having to get in touch with him every week. Even thought of cancelling my subscription which does no one any favours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
