KevH 257 Posted February 9, 2003 They say the cream always rises to the top - and Speedway Star is still with us - that should mean something. Having said that I do remember reading the Mail under the bed clothes as a kid with a torch and a good read it was too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liontamer 202 Posted February 9, 2003 Having said that I do remember reading the Mail under the bed clothes as a kid with a torch and a good read it was too. I remember reading magazines under the bedclothes by torchlight too. Probably explains why I never felt the need to buy a tent. :clown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grave 1 Posted February 10, 2003 My dad was a contributor to the Mail for words and pictures - Bruce Grainger (RIP). We weren't allowed to buy the Star for some time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svg2 0 Posted February 10, 2003 I remember the Mail to, I thought it was very good. its a shame we cant have it back as well as the star, two reads would be better than one I suppose. why did it finish? anyone know, from what we`ve heard about crap paying, probably lack of finance!

Exiled Bandit 0 Posted February 11, 2003 Sadly more people miss it than ever bought it ... hence its disappearance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerblade 221 Posted February 12, 2003 It always seemed to be a bit more "sensationalist" than the Star to me, although it seems a shame that the sport can't support more than one weekly paper, lots of other "minority" sports seem to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazzybird 10 Posted February 14, 2003 I prefer the Star! The Mail was always a big paper and I was only small I couldn't hold it! :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
