HUGE variance in delivery days ... judging by the number of comments about this week's issue on social media yesterday, many had obviously already got their copy.

spiegal 294 Posted April 24, 2020 To me the STAR has over the past few weeks become a truly brilliant magazine. Possibly all these highly interesting, and well crafted articles have been a sheer delight during troubled times. Some great journalism...well done you guys 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruno 1,790 Posted April 24, 2020 Phil, why wouldn't monthly or maybe fortnightly work? Surely better than shutting down for a few months 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of other reasons too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A brilliant read Steve and this week's edition will bring back loads of happy moments maybe you will have a tear in your eye.!!!!Steve Weatherly still looks very well still young looking and where have all the years gone??.Going back to White City Steve 1976 a World Semi final Championship round there did you go ?? i have the programme a 17 year old Michael Lee just failed to reach the British Final on 8 points after scoring 5 points from his first two rides.After Kennett Lee must of had one of the best records at that circuit i can remember coming home disappointed that Michael did not win the Intercontinental final in 1983.This after making a horrendous mistake and letting Carter through in one ride he still qualified though but Norden 83 was one of my biggest disappointments in speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
