25yearfan 476 Posted March 29 Just noticed this! At my age computer basics get the better of me sometimes! Can I move my post into the Swindon stadium thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheReturn 1,724 Posted March 29 Picked my first copy up in a long time from my local supermarket in Derbyshire today and good season preview. Was slightly surprised at how small the font is, although I admit I am getting on a bit now (51). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Landshut in Polish third tier. League fixtures for Poland, Sweden, Denmark, also Czech, Italy, France, Norway. As it said speedway is being overtaken by flat-track in most countries. The Star is still a good magazine for what is now a minority sport, still clinging on, sales must be well below what they were 50 years ago, in speedway's heyday. We're fortunate to still see it on sale in major supermarkets. Edited March 30 by auntie doris 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,027 Posted March 31 The season preview speedway star, has always been my favourite. But I miss they days when promoters (later fans) would give their predictions of the finishing order. Don't know why they stopped that? Too many people not willing to join in? What's the harm of you get it wrong, it's supposed to be a bit of fun. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it's not really the same when you only have three teams in the league, is it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lefty 1,268 Posted April 12 A big thumbs up to Peter Oakes in this weeks Star for his 'Just Saying...' column regarding the drug issue (or not!). A well balanced article. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
