    Interesting that hullcity.com is owned by a private individual and has a redirect set up to HCST.

    It's a City fan that owns that URL. Adam Pearson never used Hull City Tigers, but you may be thinking of the e-mail domain which has always been 'hulltigers'. No idea why that is.

    The website was indeed (and I think still is) a crappy template thing that many clubs have. That doesn't affect the address though. They still own hullcityafc.net and have it redirecting to their new URL. Presumably because they know that plenty of people will have it bookmarked and not think to type in anything as daft as hullcitytigers.com

    And as AlRawdah said, hullcity.com is not owned by the Trust although as Happy says, does indeed redirect to our website.

    It's more interesting that the club don't already own it wouldn't you say?

    Equally as interesting.

    Surprising the clubs not tried to get it but I suspect they don't need or want the inevitable aggro.

    I wonder when the current owner of it acquired it. Actually, I'm going to check that.

    Whole thing is quite intriguing.

    I think it's a fair while ago.

    It's not at all surprising the club hasn't tried to buy it.

    Shall do the survey and mention that they need to reverse the rebranding

    You don't think there'd be a ****storm if they did try? Even if they were going to use it?

    Why would they want to buy a domain that says Hull City when they claim that's not what we're called?

    They wouldn't need to anyway. As has already been pointed out, they already have hullcityafc.net which was perfectly serviceable for years and is one that people are familiar with.

    I didn't say they did want to...

    There are other options in other domains if they were of a mind to.

    Didn't someone purchase the name 'Hull Tigers' and register it with Hull Sunday League or something during the name change fiasco in order to stop another club being called by the same name ?

    Yes.

    I think it was decided it wouldn't have helped but I thought it quite funny.

    It was Tenfoot I think, wasn't it? I did wonder whether it was all just bullshit though.

    So he said. Do you know him? I do. He may have genuinely pursued it, I don't know. I had my doubts though. He's two posts short of a full goal.
