Take Kurtz back......Please.

Time for a career change methinks, hes not got what it takes.

I had a feeling we would lose this one, i wasnt convinced when we signed the Worralls and Kurtz who to be kind have been inconsistent, five race winners tells its own story, Wolves were head and shoulders above us. I also get the feeling Bewley dosent want to be here, looking at how hes kicking on under Woffindens wing in Poland he should be cleaning up in our league, i just feel Dan probably thinks he owes us a season after we stood by him as he came back from serious injury far from full fitness. I dont think he will ride in the UK next year, what would be the incentive? Any other up coming British rider when getting to Dans level i think will also drop the UK, we will just be a training league for the Extraliga, we would probably be better off going to one league, apart from a handful its the same riders in both leagues the only difference we pay more to watch them in the Premiership. Wolves are my tip for the play off final they are superb around Monmore and very good an all other away tracks, i cant see any team beating them over two legs, As mikebv says above we dont even have the consolation of good racing as its been poor generally this season, not a patch on other seasons, we always look vulnerable at home, i think we look a better side on our travels at the moment, so well done Wolves who really won this at a canter.

Yes its getting a pain, thing is i go out at 0500 for work and the delivery is through the door at just after 4am if i get one, just the wrong item, im going to try to e mail newsteam again, i got no reply from pinegen i suppose they are as fed up with reading my e mails as i am sending them. And just post the replacement mag.

Well yet again another failure by Newsteam, after weeks of delivering nothing when first taking on the delivery of the Star they actually got it right for a couple of weeks, or so i thought, last week i received the daily telegraph today i received the Daily Star. I will contact the office later as their e mail is undergoing maintainance at the moment. I did request weeks ago to go back to Royal Mail and stated i would even pay the extra for postage that Pinegen would incur. The only other option is just buy the mag at the track but i would miss the winter month editions. Ive e mailed Newsteam but all e mails just come back undelivered. Its getting to the point where it really not worth the hassle.

Got tickets for this one, ive heard people say you are told where to stand but there is nothing as regards to that on the tickets ive printed off?

Hopefully speedway returns to Brandon a stadium sadly missed, everything ive read about this case tends to come across as the developers are flogging a dead horse as there dosent seem to be any enthusiasm for new housing within the council or local community.

I got the Daily Telegraph delivered this morning so no doubt someone expecting the Telegraph got the Star. I e mailed Newsteam and Pingen. Replacement Star in the post. I wonder with people myself included who have had issues with Newsteam and Pingen have had to send out extra mags and pay for Royal Mail postage are they actually saving that much?

I would expect a comfy win but i thought that against Peterborough, Belle Vue have looked vulnerable so far in our home meetings, need to all get dialled in as all away riders love coming here.

Bridger no surprise, I was surprised any club touched him.

Dosent bear thinking about Lisa.:)

Deserved to BV looking vulnerable at home so far only early doors but scraped home both time, Panthers rode well for all the jibes aimed at them you cant beat experience,

Appears to be the case, i was completely underwhelmed with his signing and not convinced so far, needs to start his meetings before his third ride.

Gutted with this news, always loved stopping off on my way to/from Cornwall and taking a meeting in, great track and friendly fans, this venue will be sadly missed, only the Crossways Inn to stop for now, great shame, got to feel for the fans.

Mine was on the mat at 0500 when I got up, that's three weeks on the trot with no problems now after issues arising during the first three weeks, I suppose there's always glitches with a new service, the service at present is faultless to be fair, hope it's the norm going forward, magazine is always a great read, what a job the team have done during lock down

It has been stated the clubhouse has been sold and the new owners operate a different kind of business, losing that corporate facility within the stadium would make it very difficult to accommodate potential sponsors on race day, it does appear businesses are closing in on the Oak Tree Arena, i really hope the speedway can continue, great track and i always enjoy my visits there.

After three weeks of no magazine I asked to be reverted back to Royal Mail last week, on the Thursday my magazine arrived from newsteam, this morning my magazine arrived again by newsteam so I have been left on their list. But to be fair I am up at 5am to go to work and on both occasions the magazine has been there as I have been going out, pushed completely through the door. So thanks to all at the star for sorting the problem. Hope this continues.

I wonder what they do with the missing copies, just bin them? I presume they must collect them for delivery?

Thanks for your response Phil, i have e-mailed the office, i say they are inept because sadly that is my experience albeit if i am in a minority, i have absolutely no problem paying extra for Royal Mail delivery as i appreciate the conditions you have been operating under over the past twelve months and the team at pinegen have done an unbelievable job with the magazine content. I will happily phone the office and pay to cover any extra cost, i always thought subscriptions covered delivery when i buy Spanish language magazines from Unique and Newsstand you also pay postage, just add it to my yearly subscription.

Another day another non delivery, thats three weeks with no delivery, im going to e-mail pinegen to ask to be put back onto Royal Mail who delivered last weeks copy first post Saturday after it was posted Friday dinnertime, if there is no difference in cost why would anyone use this inefficient new outfit? They are totally inept.

I contacted the speedway star offices yesterday at noon, this weeks copy was posted out by Royal Mail for me and arrived first post this morning, speaking for myself i would pay any extra on my yearly subscription for that reliability, i know theres a digital copy but sitting in front of my pc reading is not for me, i like a physical copy i can take to work relax on the sofa with etc, ive checked my post code against the delivery areas on News Team website and they do deliver in my area, it will be interesting to see if i get any deliveries from here on in, it seems all i can do is keep e mailing the office if it continues not to arrive, very frustrating.

Hi Phil I e-mailed the office and got an immediate response, they have extended my subscription by one issue to cover the mag that never arrived two weeks ago and have posted me a copy of this weeks by Royal Mail, if this news team continue not delivering the only solutions i can see is to pay for postage myself to have the mag sent by Royal mail if possible or cancel the subscription and buy the mag as and when i see it on the shelves, i cant e-mail the office every week, the team at the star have worked wonders to publish a great magazine over the past year, it would be a pity if this new delivery company result in people cancelling,

Last weeks magazine never arrived and lo and behold this weeks is another no show, i always recieved my copy first post Thursday and always on Friday even during the first lock down. This new personal service is bobbins, i order Spanish language mags from Unique in Newcastle and Newsstand down in Essex, both deliver the day after ordering, i have bought several cd,s during the past few weeks all delivered within two to three days so there is no problem with Royal Mail where i am. If this carries on after 51 years of buying the star this will be the last sadly. Im going to contact the office and as i dont want a mag over a week or two old will ask if they can extend the subscription to cover the missing mags.

No thanks, I'm hoping it will arrive along with this week's, rather than contact pinegen and have them sending out another copy and ending up with two I have no problem if it doesn't arrive buying one from the newsagent on this occasion

Well I've still not received last week's star yet, delivery had got back to normal just after Christmas so don't know if the latest disruption is due to the new courier, I'm not bothering contacting pinegen as if it does arrive will be a week old and hopefully this week's will arrive.
