New Higher Priced Rutland Times Launched Today, Disappointing Relaunch

  New Higher Price RUTLAND TIMES Relaunched 4 Sep  2012  

Today saw the relaunch of the Rutlnd Times selling at a new higher price of 55p

The free gifts promised is a football DVD, yes most annoyingly to the Average Rutland Times Reader
not available in VHS or  Beta Max Format.

The editorial content remains unchanged and there are about three small job adverts.

The Rutland Times leads with a story that first appeared in the news around 10 days ago.

Text content and photographs are framed with the most annoying black or green bars?

I did find the cartoon rather amusing, It refers to a news item from last week.
Tory Leader Roger Begy celebrated 40 years of Oakham Library by cutting a cake. It has a caption that suggests the Tory Leader could be corrupt when he returns overdue library books. Surely Roger would never do such a thing ? ;-)

If you are a fish and chip fan the paper is worth buying just for the coupon, the buy one get one free Fish and Chip Offer
redeemable at this Fish & Chip Shop in Oakham.

                                                                                               
                                                                                               


The Rutland Times also failed to take advantage of its own advertising spaces to promote its relaunch, there was also a
noticable lack of publicity at its South Street Office

One retailer said going by the few copies of the fee DVD they had received sales expectations
were never going to be that high (50)
