£2.80 - is that for real? Dear me.
The whole organisation is a joke - still haven't got the quick results from the 3.25 at Ayr up yet. |

Standard operating procedure in the UK is this:
Give bosses huge wage increases Pay for it by increasing product price Sales of product plunge Increase product price to make up for shortfall in revenue further reduces sales Pay bosses larger wages and pension contributions before firm goes bust Firm goes bust owing lots of money to taxpayer owned banks Management buyout of best assets go to step 1 |

had it delivered every morning to my door for last few years but cancelled it in january. in two minds if i buy it through cheltenham week, but it wont be bought after that. greyhounds are my thing, and the coverage in there is truly shocking. my local track doesnt even get a form card for it any more. horrible organisation, the man is a cretin.

The problem with the Racing Post is that it has sold its soul for 30 pieces of the bookmakers silver.
It therefore cannot follow through with its claim to be the punters pal. We know it, they know it and it puts them in a morally invidious position. Anyone with any scruples would leave the stinking rotten sinking ship. |

By:
Eddie boy it's not the price that most complain about.Its that most on here now realise its become a bookmakers trade paper and worst of all its full of boring s hite.

Bought the bible just about every day since launch....very primitive looking back...true about £650 a year and often sneaked up a couple of bob week before Cheltenham....politicians often slide bad news out when the worlds looking the other way.

A daily paper at £2.80 is ridiculous, they would be better getting rid of some of their journalists.

toronto showing edward up....doesn't take much does it
Who's stalking who?? |
|
By:
For weeks and weeks they have published thousands of column inches of pre Cheltenham pap, most of it is hardly worth printing as its just lazy filler material that tells you nothing new.
Apart from the cards and form there is very little insight into the actual racing that is taking place on that day. |

Online RP is the only option (£26 per month for everything =87P per day).
Have not bought the paper for years. |

EdwardWoodwardWould,
You can look at it as 'a few pennies', or you can look at it as another 25%+ increase, on top of the previous increases. They're just another set of gravy train merchants, backed by venture capitalists and completely in the pocket of the bookmakers, doing their little bit to squeeze the life out of this sport. I see the Racing Plus was up to £1.40 this morning too, which is presumably permanent. That's a 40% increase in the space of 12 months. |
|
By:
just going to say the same gonzo ,i threw the plus in the shopping basket and couldnt believe the price when i looked later,imagine other bills going up 40% in such a short space of time,guarenteed 2 papers going to the wall in the next 18 months

I aint bought a Post for a good few months, and tbh, don't miss it. I will however be buying it all this week, then back to if/when.
£2.80p is a large increase  |

From the freak who begged for the PW extra tip for free because he couldn't afford the £1-50.

The whole organisation is a joke - still haven't got the quick results from the 3.25 at Ayr up yet. Hmmm, Dr Gonzo you get all the facts about racing for free from the forum but "pay little" attention to them thus so as long as you can find something thats free and agrees with everything that you know then your interested. |

How tedious the paupers are. And vulgar, of course.

Must be worth it for the four tips a year the totally insane Liberal ex-Guardian "writer" Pullein puts up
The fact that he gets a gig ("heading should be banned") shows what is wrong with the paper. Even the serial loser Steve Palmer in todays paper alluded to the fact that he cannot get on his "facespitter" each-way doubles on the Golf with the "Bookmakers" that own the rancid rag. Where did it all go wrong.... |

Don't be too hard on fraudy, Navel-Gazer. He has been stressed since his wife ran off with the road sweeper.

I have never heard of a road sweeper that has ever bet over... |

Spazarus - vulgar?
 I think a closer definition of that word would be a disgusting, shirt-lifting, turd-burgling, sodomite apologist innit? Annoying aren't I?  |

Lol NG...........is this Spazarus Vulgarus a newly discovered species?
I had heard a rumour but my OH is a research biologist and she insists that it is a sub species of cockroach left over from the cretinous age.Found in small pockets in the Swiss Alps bordering with Austria and Italy. The nearest relatives are known to inhabit North America,particularly but not confined to the San Francisco area. Recognised by the leather chaps adorning thighs,arses hanging out of boot cut Levis and generally congregating with same sex ugly fookers.Often found infesting dark bars with low lighting and commonly named Blue Oyster Bar reflecting the crustacean origins. HTH M8.  |

you really do come across as a nasty, horrible piece of work laz....i hope you are as horrible and friendless in the real world as you are on here.

Excellent fishing going on but I will dip my toe into these murky waters, I could be a millionaire that liked a pint but if I went into a pub & was told a pint of best bitter was £12 I would say that is a rip off, a line is drawn somewhere however much money you have & the best part of three pounds is too much for a daily rag in my honest opinion.
Anyway must dash its time for tiffin. |

"Friendless" on this disgusting forum populated by life`s rejects. Gosh, how troubling.
These people actually come here for their friendships. It is astonishing. |
