    I signed the petition. I currently live in Cheshire, I can't attend any of their games as it's not practical and I'm going to all Hull City away games but refuse to attend a home game until they go. Me and my old man used to go to 10 games at Ferriby every year.

    We can't go anymore but still want the best for that club. The best isn't for the club to change identity if the club is struggling there are so many better ideas that could be used. Embrace the local schools, get football matches played on the pitch before for free with free tickets to all friends and family. Do a deal for a half season ticket for when City and Ferriby don't clash. Free tickets during International breaks.

    Changing the name isn't the answer. End of.

    What are you on about here? There’s **** all to do in Norwich which is widely regarded as the reason why they have a decent support base.

    Contrast that to Hull, a city that never sleeps, and-of which Ferriby is in very close proximity, and it starts to paint a picture.

    Arrrfff. As a Ferriby lad I'm glad my village is held in almost as high regard as the centre of ancient Southern England.

    I remember back in the 80s when a petition got handed round a bus on North Road going back from the game. I was just a child but I was just asked whether I was born before Humberside existed, I was by a few years so my brother got me to sign it for the re-instatement of East Yorkshire. Which reminds me, on the stream last game the commentator referred to us as 'going back to Humberside', many still don't know it's East Yorkshire over 20 years after the change.

    We've had this Humberside topic many times. It no longer exists as an administrative county, but has existed as a geographical location for well over a century and will continue to do so, just like Clydeside, Wearside etc.

    Tyneside also.

    Irrespective, it holds negative connotations for a number of people in Hull and surrounding areas, and it is unusual to be referred to locally.

    To use it in common parlance is akin to being the bastard offspring Gwillam Lloyd and Terry Geraghty.

    Just as a side note to the other more entertaining aspects of this thread; 8% do come. That's how average attendances work.

    Also, at the 2011 cencus the population was 3,893. Not sure where 5k came from.
