Finance

RockFood's articles are written by a voluntary group of staff, with printing costs financed by small amounts of advertising revenue. Until August 2007 RockFood was financed entirely by advertising for Leicester Square Ltd., but since this date it has become entirely independent - principally (and surprisingly) because of their desire to switch to recycled paper stock, which due to printing constraints was not possible with the previous backers. Distribution is managed by a voluntary promotions team.

Readership

The readership is currently thought to be around 4,000 throughout Leicester and the surrounding area.
