Liontamer 202 Posted May 11, 2023 Who the hell designed this week's front cover? Chris Holder looks about 90. I really do think the front covers are long overdue a makeover as they are now the same old every week. Just my opinion of course, if people disagree with me, I'm happy with that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No disagreement from me. Very poor. Not only is the photoshopping dreadful, I want to scream at the hideous choice and mix of fonts. Mind you Chris Holder does look about 90 IRL.

bruno 1,790 Posted May 12, 2023 Actually think the star is getting very samey week after week, not even looked at this week's yet. Might even not renew next time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,277 Posted May 15, 2023 The only criticism I have of the Star is the "continued on page x"... When there is plenty of room on the first page to have included it, as invariably there is another piece, or two, alongside it... Still a quality publication though which does the sport great service... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It often contains some interesting stuff, but also too much along the lines of "actor Kieron who once played third drinker in Hollyoaks bar scene said 'I might go to a speedway meeting 'cos my grandpa used to go and talked about it all the time' " type stories 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I watch a lot of quiz shows, and I can't believe how many times they don't even listen to the question, and give a totally unrelated answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
