    Which is exactly why he will continue to prosecute his deranged argument against the supporters. Yes, against the supporters, as I think we are the new focus for his bile.

    @NoToHullTigers met Geoff Hurst yesterday and noticed my notohulltigers badge and he said why would you ever want to change a name!

    Now we're in the FA Cup final & we'll receive global coverage.. making a name-change even more unnecessary

    I noticed yesterday that avaricious, hook-nosed, desert-wandering 'chosen one' David Gold has waded into our concluded name-change debate:

    PS. How does somebody who can't spell 'their' gain control of a football club?

    Edit - I've pointed out his errors, both of them.

    I've thought that for a very long time, in fact from the moment fans voiced opposition against it.

    I know what you mean and agree, but he blamed the hooligans, the fans were the silent majority who wished him well. Allegedly! :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Good stuff from Martin Samuel(you get a mention Polly)...

    In an interview with Sportsmail last week, Dr Assem Allam talked of making Hull City a global entity simply by changing the name to Hull Tigers. Monday’s column – here – challenged that idea and so did quite a lot of you. It’s nice that we agree sometimes. Contrary to what you might think, I really don’t enjoy confrontation. And to prove it, here’s a brilliant and jaundiced denunciation of the education system and some of the spiteful freaks within it, masquerading as bouncy, cheery sing-a-long by some nice chaps from Hull. The debate’s below, too.

    Check you out Polly! Name checked!

    Samuel just went right up in my estimation, apart from having the balls to respond to all those comments, he slipped in a Fall video. ****ing loved them.

    The reporter has a good list of sporting clubs with tigers in their name: "Claremont Tigers, Gleneig Tigers, Hobart Tigers (Australian Football), Eastern Suburbs Tigers, Wests Tigers (Australia, rugby league), Melbourne Tigers (Australia, basketball); Chittagong Tigers (Bangladesh, cricket); Castleford Tigers (England, rugby league), Leicester Tigers (England, rugby union), Brighton Tigers (England, ice hockey); Hanshin Tigers (Japan, baseball); Frisk Tigers (Norway, ice hockey); Kia Tigers (South Korea, baseball); Auburn Tigers, Clemson Tigers, Colorado College Tigers, LSU Tigers, Memphis Tigers, Missouri Tigers, Princeton Tigers, RCC Tigers, Towson Tigers (United States, athletics), Detroit Tigers (United States, baseball). In addition, the Bangladesh cricket team are nicknamed The Tigers, as are the Royal Leicestershire Regiment, the aerobatic display team from RAF 74 Squadron and the Tamil separatists in Sri Lanka. Tigers may be endangered in the jungle, but they are growing exponentially on sports fields near you. This is a short-list, only. There are 46 college teams called the Tigers in America alone."

    TFT's always worth a laugh

    http://www.hullcityindependent.net/?page=forum&forum_id=8&thread_id=18614

    "I'm in front of Lambo for a change here!

    I've just had a meeting today with a well-known and prominent local businessman, who is also a massive City fan and he's disclosed some amazing news to me.

    I asked him if it was okay to let fellow City fans know about this (on this forum) - and he said "go ahead if you want to, just don't mention my name."

    I felt it was my duty to share it with you all....

    Apparently the Allams still want to push ahead with the name change because, riding on it, they have a sponsorship deal lined up with KELLOGS (Tony The Tiger) to the tune of £50,000,000 !!!

    They've also got another massive sponsorship avenue lined up with TIGER BEER, but he doesn't know the exact details of that deal.

    Problem is that both of them are keen on the name of "Hull Tigers F.C."

    This is true and is genuine information from someone I trust implicitly.

    I think these sponsorship deals could be "Greeeeaaat" (as Tony would say) - but I can't see why they can't agree the deals as Hull City AFC as THE TIGERS.

    Surely that should be enough for them?

    Anyway, this is TRUE and is happening in the background right now and he said he wasn't bothered if I shared it with you lot on here.

    So, there you go, I've done it."

    Some of the reactions are ****ing funny

    Even though he seems to have bought the bullshit hook, line and sinker, I love this analogy.

    Tiger Beer are not interested.

    I spoke to their international marketing manager and had several emails form him on the subject over a course of a couple of months. Barcelona are their focus and we do not get a look in as Hull Tigers. Its too weak. As he he said why would a brand that uses the Tiger already need another Tiger link, it doesn't work.

    The company that could have been a major sponsor Bharti Mittal Telecommunications is involved in a corruption trial and has possibly dropped any involvement for the time being.

    I think TFT's been on the magic mushrooms.
