We will be producing a 64-page pre-season special next week and have also taken the plunge and increased the paper quality which we previously changed to keep us afloat. Any news on a follow up to the Somerset story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT that I know but I am no longer involved with the day-to-day compilation of the content. But, had there been, no doubt Andrew Skeels and his team would have been on the case.

It’s a platform to talk about issues with the Star and comment on the contents of the magazine, which overall has maintained a high standard through thick and thin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) A good read but not quite the bumper edition of 2 years ago with the Covid affecting the sport. Not the same without the top 2 Swindon and Poole, and Zummerzet, only 6 teams. Edited May 13, 2021 by auntie doris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxey63 Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Always impressed with the pre-season special. On the flip side, got withdrawals because there are no nostalgia articles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take some time to read it all; the 64 pages are packed with content and the presentation and design is superb. Top job by everyone at the Star and as Phil Lanning pointed out on social media, for less than a coffee at a High Street national chain. I would add to that: where the claim to be coffee is debatable. No debate about this week's Speedway Star...in fact, it is five stars!

Cracking bumper issue, always my favourite. Credit to all those who take the time and effort to make it all happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) I must congratulate all at Speedway Star on keep going in what must be the most difficult situation over the past year and a half. I love the annual season preview, but was disappointed at no fans view from the clubs. Also no annual predictions. Was that a deliberate omission or just the pressure of the times?

PHILIPRISING Posted May 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 7 minutes ago, Richard Weston said: You will like this as the Publisher. Actually I think less is more-- the 64 pages is tighter, more focussed on what most (uk) fans are looking for. You Polish coverage is good and appreciated (+Sweden, Denmark) but I am not sure the preview needs to be (was it?) 128 pages. Personal view, I know, but I can imagine how the financials stack up. WE did, of course, have more tracks to cover and preview the SGP season but it wouldn't be viable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
