perhaps riders from the Wirral club buy more pics? If NE riders dont buy as much, then you have to expect PLJ to cover their bread n butter first.

I dont have first hand experience (im sure others do though and perhaps can enlighten us?) but i would imagine it takes quite a lot of man-hours to go through the pics, sorting them into race number order, then putting a name to that number, and getting them uploaded (ok, the upload is the least intensive part - press upload and go watch corrie). i've used other race photographers who often just sort the weekends photo's by series, and others that dont even do that.

Although i will agree that PLJ do take a little TOO long. For a business who, during this economic downturn, should be looking to 'WOW!' their customers by providing a good service and ensuring that they are maximising what they can during these harder times and in turn, securing future business.
