    Kingston Upon Hull City Tigers?
    Actually it's got a ring to it, and more marketable as it would be shorter too :emoticon-0114-dull:

    Strange place to put it though, not exactly a main thoroughfare, is it?

    The City and County of Kingston upon the River Hull City Tigers Association Football Club
