It's such a shame that those superb Jeff Davies covers every week are not face out on the W H Smith shelves anymore.

It's also bloody annoying when my postman delivers my copy, and the lovely pristine magazine and the superb cover has been screwed up/damaged en route! Any chance of stronger envelopes Philip -  sometimes the edges of the current ones arrive with the mag poking through almost!

PS - after his brilliant antics at the British Final last week, surely you have to do an in depth article on Mr Ayres!

Congrats to everybody who puts together such an excellent production every week. Long may it continue.

BUT they are on the shelves at Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda, etc. Had we continued to pay WH Smith their 'ransom' money we might not be anywhere!

There will be changes to the manner in which subs copies are sent in October.

Ayres will feature in the future.

Thanks for your final comments.

No race times or TMs to be named then.  One Hull branch of WH Smiths closed, leaving the main branch in Hull City Centre and I think the smaller store in Hull Paragon Interchange (Hull Railway Station).  I was in the main branch the other week and one of the model railway magazines not only had shelf space but a wide cardboard banner above the level of the overall display, think it was the only publication with such a banner, guess it worked as I noticed it but can't but wonder how much it cost....

i think i have said some of this before but, I spent ages getting the Star from Tesco-Hindley. There was always the odd week in so many that they did not have it. So i would wait til i or 1 of my family were going into Leigh and get it from their Tesco. They are a tad unreliable too. This last number of weeks i have been getting it from what was a family business in Leigh called Cannings which merged into a WH Smiths. They have been brilliant at getting it so far. I NEVER miss a issue. In the past i have had to chase it. Mrs will not let me subscribe. In fact i am sure she has preferred it when i have had trouble getting it. Gives her more going shopping time. I have noticed whsmiths in Bolton and Wigan do not stock it.  Oh and the Asda near Bolton Wanderers stadium had loads of Stars when we went there.  Yes i have been on the lookout.

My wife gets mine at our local Asda with her weekly shop and has never let me down yet so I can recommend Asda :-)
