ch958 2,395 Posted November 16, 2020 Philip, I buy Mojo magazine monthly. They run a seperate series concentrating on single artists such as Dylan, Stones, Kate Bush, etc. They use their own archive material Could the star not do something along those lines using your archive material. You could do specials on the big names and 'best of' given years with the most interesting stories from that year. The mojo ones go for. around a tenner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Star has done a first class job in the absence of domestic speedway this year. The content has been excellent and a cover to cover read for me. So do I . Terrific read , always look forward to reading every Thursday, well done all at the Star. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 203 Posted November 17, 2020 I agree with the comment made by Topaz325. I started watching Speedway at the Shay, Halifax in 1966 so "older" articles on riders such as Eric Boocock, Ray Wilson and Jim Airey have some relevance to me. However, when I read any articles pre-dating the early 60's I tend to switch off. Having said all that the Star is a fantastic read and I really look forward to getting it each week. I love the Backtrack articles which have more of a depth to them and maybe something could be done on the same lines for more recent riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPD444 112 Posted November 17, 2020 I must say that my interest in Speedway has been maintained by the presence of Speedway Star during the pandemic. Without the weekly mag. there would have no UK speedway news at all unless you count social media as a news source. Well done to BelleVue with the streaming of meetings, this must be the way forward to get to people who do not have a team near them, that applies to me and I live in London. I am going to buy a year’s subs when next due, the Star must continue. Thanks to all the boys and girls at The Star. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it is hard to find the content I want to read some of the time there are so many adverts. Note to advertisers - I don't need to be told which of the young ladies, wearing very little, are 'hot'. I learnt how to do that for myself over 50 years ago and have not forgotten in old age. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
