G'day Davez. For a while there I had been using the WA website for the pre-post prices (well trying to at least). I found the website was pretty unreliable though, as many times the prices wouldn't be posted until very close to the start of the race, or sometimes just not at all. Very frustrating. After I did a little looking around, I realized that the pre-post prices on that WA website were the same as those listed in the Sportsman newspaper. After a couple of wild goose chases hunting for a newsagency that hadn't sold out of the Sportsman, I decided to check out the Sportsman website, and found out you can download their newspaper online for the same price as the newspaper, so I've just been subscribing to the Sportsman online instead of worrying about whether or not the WA website has their pre-post prices up or not. This way too I have the benefit of being able to look back over all of the issues I've subscribed to online, without having to keep piles of old newspapers in case I want to look up an old issue. Pretty handy really. Anyway, I can recommend checking out the Sportsman if your after the pre-post prices that are published on that WA website. No, it's not free like the WA website, but I'd rather pay $5 an issue for reliability.
