    Done, eventually, if I was any good with technology I could be dangerous! My iPad mini was having nothing to do with it, done on phone. Feedback given that using that name is insulting and offensive to us long suffering City fans!

    Done. However, I'm not surprised they can't get the name right. According to the address they give at the bottom of the page, I live in Blackpool according to my IP address. Like Hull City Tigers, it's close but completely offensive. I live in Preston.

    You do all know Google works by an algorithm right? It will have picked the name up due to the website; the content on it and the content that sits behind it. You can challenge it, but it wasn't put there manually by a person in California who doesn't know any better.

    Seems hard to believe that this sudden and very recent change is entirely down to automation. The club's site has had the wrong name for years, and Google was correct until the last few days. They've obviously been asked to use the wrong name by City, and not understood the controversy behind doing so.

    You're correct.

    If it was done by an algorithm it would have slowly started showing 'Hull City T' to certain users, slowly unveiling it to more and more before adding the 'i', and so on and so forth.

    Not necessarily. It could have been something as simple as resubmitting a site map that caused the change. Or adding SSL certification, or adding structured data markups, or an algorithm change on Google's end. Loads of reasons it could be. It might even be due to new web pages the club have added that reinforce that name. My point is it's not necessarily a recent change done with a view to specifically getting the incorrect name to appear and it almost certainly wasn't done manually by someone that works for Google.
