BIG Voluntary  REDUNDANCY packages - for longer-term employees.

Extremely doubtful that there will ever be a new Print Racing Newspaper.

In fact - You could probably replace 'ever' with Never.

The Racing Life...?

George Baker always seems keen to have a go. It would be interesting if he tried to get Nick Godfey and Robin Gibson involved as they are different league men- behind- the-scenes compared to Bruce.

RP cannot keep hiking the price, think they could lose 75% of the editorial without it affecting the circulation much

Takes me about 5 mins to read anything of interest in it so quick early morning visit to shop does the necessary and saves £2.90 a day. Them £2.90s add up. To a lot if you buy it daily.

No cross-referencing on the form though pp!  I've just rung up and complained about the database and got £15 off my annual sub.

Or selling ice to the inhabitants of Iceland.

An independent and slimline racing paper for horse and greyhound racing not exclusively funded and solely printed for the benefit of the bookies. And no Mr Bruce Millington as anything associated (betting wise) with him is negatively tainted and impartial.

A daily racing paper can only survive with bookmaker support, therefore it can never be independent.

I can see the RP eventually becoming a free sheet only available in bookies and on course.

Should be in bookies toilets as well.

So who supports the staff who are currently maintaining the Racing Post database?

Has The Racing Paper folded yet?
Report sparrow • August 31, 2018 7:32 PM BST
I still like to have the paper and if I can't afford £2.90 then I shouldn't really be betting.

Just been told £2.90 will buy one 9 rolls of Velvet loo rolls at Superdrug, no brainer.

Probably for you, impossible.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I bought it, must be 7 or 8 years ago if not longer.

Just been buying it on Saturday but so many rubbish Saturday's - tomorrow's another one - that might stop as well.

Takes about ten minutes to read and the rest of it is just convenience.
