The Dog 413 Posted June 29, 2023 The front cover is to try and attract the attention of the younger generation, something we desperately need to keep the sport going. Jeff Davies who does the covers is one of the best photographers around and loves the natural image but has done a great job with moving with the times in this instance I think. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I liked it when it was in black and white... And had Bjorn Knuttson on the front.... An excellent publication that does much to make the UK version of Speedway look professional..

Too true... it went downhill further when the buggers introduced colour on the front in the 70's, but at least it was Ronnie Moore!!! He-he . I actually think this weeks cover with Ace Piper on is excellent, keep the good work up you Speedy Star folks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moxey63 1,785 Posted July 21, 2023 After reading through the posts on here, I wondered why I stayed away so long. My Star was late last week but on time this. In other news: I am still disappointed why it ditched the Angus Kix glamour league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here. Via Newsteam it used to arrive about 4am every Thursday. By Royal Mail, last week's Star arrived this Tuesday (5 days late), This week's hasn't arrived yet.

Again I received last week's 5 days late. It turned up this Tuesday. So far today's hasn't arrrived. Presume it will come next Tueday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
