Snap. Assuming it does arrive up here in Linlithgow today/tomorrow possibly along with this weeks I'll have plenty reading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As always a good read this week... and full marks to all involved with the Speedway Star for keeping the stories, interviews and features going throughout the past 12 months. Hi Phillip. Just to say for the second week I have been reading my Star whilst eating my breakfast. Thanks , I hope the new style of delivery service continues and that the post is kicked into touch. The past history about the various makes of machines I found very interesting. I totally agree with the above post. Regards from a very satisfied reader. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BarracudaAce 44 Posted March 25, 2021 I trust other subscribers are getting a better delivery service than I am since this switch to this ‘personal delivery’ service. If mine doesn’t improve next week I will be cancelling my subscription. WEEK 1 The magazine was half inside / half outside the letter box. It was all creased and the front cover had been damaged such that the pages ‘caught’ each other as you turned from page to page. Had to place the magazine under a very heavy box for a day to ‘flatten’ it out. WEEK 2 The magazine delivered today is now in the bin!! It again was half inside / half outside the letter box. The half inside was torn around 2 inches across and the half outside sodden wet – it had rained sometime before I was up and about this morning at 7.00am. As I tried carefully to remove it from the letter box the sodden half just turned to a squelchy messy pulp. Just why the person delivering the magazine cannot push it carefully and fully through the letter box so that it drops inside the house is beyond me – other than him/her being lazy and not giving a damn.

SORRY to hear that ... please email your postcode to ssdigital@pinegen.co.uk Will send you a link to the digital version, mail a replacement copy and inform NewsTeam of your displeasure. They will contact the person delivering your mag. We are trying our best to keep publishing through these tough teams without skimping on the content or raising the cover price. But that does not mean you should have your magazine delivered in that condition. My apologies ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
