The Allams wanted the stadium for £1 to allow them to use it as collateral to support loans for their other projects

My understanding is that the figures were never so precise. The discussions were more options and opportunities.

You can say what you like about acquiring more sponsors from abroad or bigger TV deals. But the game will suffer if local buns aren't on seats because passion will leak from the game. This is just another step that turns fans away. Less people wearing Hull City shirts in and around the City or abroad has to be a bad thing.

Cardiff City playing in red or "Hull Tigers" doesn't attract investment; it's an excuse for owners to satisfy their whims. Successful football teams and teams with potential attract investment. Man City did OK for having a "common" name and not playing in red.
 
The only way the brand becomes succesful is by the team been succesful so AA can call us what he wants unless he chucks another £50m at it on players and has us in the top 10 then Hull Tigers or Hull City Tigers is going to no more succesful than Hull City AFC. Or we'd have Manchester Devils imo

Im no Marketing genius but AA wants to get into Asia and all these markets but they support the best most succesful teams with the best players that are challenging for trophies e.g Man Utd, Real Madird etc no one supports a team because of the nice name

Are you being serious? Although you appear to like rebranding as you have changed the spelling of the pattie Hull is famous for.

I cant believe just how petty some of you little Englanders are being..........

"a name change is TERRIBLE"


oh **** off and support L**DS.
 
The email reply to me from the Clubs Marketing Director a fortnight ago after I told them not to send me any emails or correspondence of any description with Hull Tigers Limited has a hollow ring to it now.

Even fell out with my brother (we've both be going since 1966) when he argued it was merely a rebranding a couple of weeks ago - he now admits I was right all along.

Name change by stealth except now at least the HDM has weedled it out of the silly old man that is Pappa Allem.

This will get ugly and will give Terry Geriatric all the ammunition he needs to say 'I told you so'.

And in a Council owned stadium!!

Linked to my earlier theory, does anyone know if and/or how this would affect contracts, such as the one between the Club and the SMC?

If Hull City AFC have a penalty clause that binds them to the stadium, would that still be binding to Hull Tigers?

It's a name change. Contracts are still between the same companies.

FA rules state any proposed changes to a club's name must be received by April 1 and approved. Awaiting clarification if this was done.

The date is quite prophetic as they're making fools out of all of us.
 
So, has anybody worked out how this is going to help with international merchandising? If nobody had really heard of us before, how is this going to help?
 
It's quite simple, all the traditionalist are complaining about the re-branding - then ignore it.
Don't buy any merchandise that has the new logo on it.

Personally I like the 'Hull City Tigers', far better than our historic 'Hull City Bankrupt' or Hull City Locked Out'.

The owners have chosen to rename but the supporters by choice can continue to call it what they like.

They will not benefit anything from me with the re-branding as I no long buy merchandise, just my season tickets - which I will continue to do.

Football really is not like a standard business, it is much more connected & reliant on the local community; especially in the difficult times. Commercially modelled systems inevitably become humanly disconnected & thus fail the community (or 'customer' if you like) in the end- not unlike what we are seeing happen in the NHS, rail & post. Maybe it's well intended but it is ultimately a corrupting approach, lots of people will be feeling a real sense of loss & disconnection right now - nowt to do with 'business', but who gives a **** eh? Why not call us 'Allem Marine Tigers' & get it done with?
Alas Mr Allem is surrounded by sycophants so we get decisions like this, it's like the kings new clothes & we are gonna look ridiculous too. Sad day...

How do you think Thompson got his job? "Yes, Mr Allam" to everything.
 
In time lads you will see the power of the rebrand. It's a fickle footballing world but worldwide it will attract more attention.

Hull City games will be broadcast globally ... it makes sense to look at that. ... You are the Tigers and thats how football is going ... right or wrong. (US influence and money)

Historically Wolves as a brand attracted many fans this way.

Hull City Tigers in UK and Hull Tigers internationally.

I don't think anybody could come up with a sorrier mess if they tried. The club is run by a set of clowns.

I've given the Allams the benefit of the doubt in previous dubious occurrences but I now have to concur.

Although it's certainly Allam snr that's driving the name change.

The problem is, due to his blinkered vision, he doesn't accept criticism so surrounds himself with 'Yes' men who cannot or will not
challenge him when he's making obvious mistakes.

Do you think it will stop them dropping out of the third tier?
