PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted March 12, 2017 I really enjoyed the latest edition of the Star, plenty of interest to read, well done. THANK you ...we have been making a few changes with our freelance editorial contributors. The winter series with Phil Chard has been terrific and Peter Oakes new column has been outstanding every week. Don't know hoe he does it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The winter series with Phil Chard has been terrific and Peter Oakes new column has been outstanding every week. Don't know hoe he does it. Phil and Peter are professional journalists. It shows. They know how to tell stories. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moxey63 1,784 Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Brian Burford always puts together a well-researched piece. The thing that I don't like... is the front cover. Every week looks like the special effects bloke has had a pill dropped into his tipple... there is too much happening, too busy. What's with all the headlines.... when only speedway people will buy it anyway. Headlines won't sway them. And sometimes you can even see the magazine's title, in spite of all what's going on all over the cover. Good mag though... and well done for keeping it going in such difficult and challenging times.

Have to agree with this point on the front cover. It does look a bit amateurish and it made me laugh when my wife commented that the SS cover resembles a 90s Porn Magazine.

brandonmole 85 Posted March 13, 2017 Phil and Peter are professional journalists. It shows. They know how to tell stories. Aren't most of the Speedway Star writers professional journalists? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00000 1,279 Posted March 14, 2017 Aren't most of the Speedway Star writers professional journalists? Not always. There's people around writing stuff, but have never had the proper training. Some can't tell a story to save their lives. And it shows! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
