Bad times at Odsal. Bad times for the superleague.

In 2011 the attendance was up probably because our season tickets were so cheap and we sold more. Our average attendance that year was 13967.

In 2012 we sold less season tickets but as the game could have been our 'last ever game', Bradford and Leeds fans came in their thousands to boost the attendance over 20000, over 8000 above our 2012 average of 11755.

Friday night's attendance was so low because we've sold less season tickets than in 2011 and 2012, and the match was televised.

As a Bulls fan I am disappointed that the attendance was so low but if we want a bigger crowd than that we'll have to sell more season tickets.

By the way, well played on Friday. You were far better than us.

How can it be rational to propose more borrowing when we've had to print 25% of the money we've borrowed already?

It's rational to fill the demand gap, to increase the money supply and to take advantage of the record low bond rates by borrowing now to invest and create jobs and stimulate spending. It isn't rational to have a monetary policy that is attempting to increase the money supply and a fiscal policy that is attempting to decrease it.

Well, first of all what Mervyn King said was that 25% of GDP is now QE.

The simple answer is that you'd borrow it to do different things than what this government have done. So far, QE money has gone to recapitalising banks and keeping interest rates down, not to doing anything particularly useful. So you'd borrow to get people back into work, thereby increasing tax revenues and creating a virtuous circle of growth. You don't pay back that debt straight away, the cuts come during the good times. It's the nature of governments that they have to spend & cut countercyclically. The emphasis on cutting the deficit quickly is intuitive, but disastrously misguided.

Look its simple, we are going to be saved from this nightmare by one man
