Mr Ore 204 Posted April 15, 2020 I don't think anyone should be blamed at present. Andrew Skeels is doing sterling work in getting out a weekly magazine (tell everyone you know to buy it) and the postal workers are at no small risk in their duties and entitled to take time off either for the illness or other stress reasons and need to be covered. I'm still waiting patiently for a £2m inheritance cheque from the estate of a relative I didn't even know I had, until a mail from his solicitor, landed in my SPAM box, but as my admin payment of £1,000 was taken from my account last month I know it's on the way.

Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted April 16, 2020 Today’s issue is first class !!! Lots of innovative articles and interviews. Really enjoyed the riders reviews on the tracks. I would like to see the star continue in this way once the pandemic is over and we resume racing. in the age we live in now the vast majority can access results and local reports from every club so perhaps less emphasis should be given to the results and a bit more on new features. I do enjoy the retro side but only if it’s of the time I’ve spectated otherwise it’s of no interest. This week’s issue imo is spot on. Well done to all involved. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinmauger 584 Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Yeah, brilliant issue of the Speedway Star this week, including part 1 of a UK track anorak's paradise . I do love reading rider's opinions of the tracks, 'Subscribe To The Star'; you know it makes sense....

spiegal 294 Posted April 16, 2020 This week's issue is one of the very best...especially old farts who recall the heady days Strange how the horrible effects of this virus has resulted in a totally new concept with the S.S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted April 16, 2020 Some of the comments show that while news (or gossip) is plentiful online, it takes the Star to give accuracy and perspective. The features in this week's issue are excellent. It shows the strength of the magazine how faced with an appalling situation it can rise to the challenge. The rider analysis of tracks is a superb example of what the Star excels at. I just hope that these efforts are backed-up by the supporters. There's many times I've needed the Star. Now it's time to repay. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Clemens 646 Posted April 16, 2020 Great issue today. Particularly the articles on Eric Linden and the film regarding the Gundersen and Neilsen rivalry. When does that film come out? Will it be in the cinema somewhere or out on DVD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lastword 200 Posted April 17, 2020 The DVD is available from http://www.classicspeedwayvideos.com/ (Jan Staechmann's online shop) It is in Danish but has English sub titles. It's a great watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
