Im the equivalent of Macca and Scarborough, your the equivalent of WalshNo5, who im surprised hasn't posted on your boards thread yet. I feel empathy for you guys, it shouldn't be how it goes for any club, but Allam can do what he likes, just like Kim at Cardiff. On the flipside, if we go back to where you guys were before he took over and he said "i can take you out of this spiral, and take you to the prem, but when we get there, there might make some changes" im fairly sure 99% of your fans would have snapped his arm off at the time.
Go check out board or any news source. It's true. Though it might not be from the start of this season, as there may be a certain FIFA rule that blocks it...
Unfortunately LG it's true. We're to be called Hull City Tigers locally but Nationally and internationaly Hull Tigers and eventually Hull Tigers altogether.
I heard this on the drive into work this morning and I suppose it was a question of 'when rather than if' for a club to rebrand in the vain of an American sports team... Cricket have done so with their T20 names so it was only a matter of time for Football to take this path.. It did get me thinking that if (eventually) all 92 league clubs took this path we'd have some interesting and hilarious names Tigers & Foxes would be the best of the bunch and given my club's nickname is the 'tractor boys' I think we'd end up with quite a lot of embarrassment
Ipswich Town Tractors doesn't sound good... Blackpool Tangerines? Brighton Seagulls? Huddersfield Terriers? Reading Royals?
Wigan Pie Eaters (although I expect Latics would be the more popular choice) Macclesfield Silkmen Morcambe/Southend Shrimpers Middlesborough Smoggies I think Tigers seems a perfectly reasonable option
Our club has released a statement, and they are now also changing the badge for the 2014/15 season... albeit, with fan consultation - but, if they will consult with fans on the badge, then why not on the ****ing name of the club?
The Nottingham Tricky Trees! Although in fairness, Forest and Tottenham are among the clubs that probably wouldn't need to rebrand.
Just been looking a wikipedia for nicknames - according to that list on there, Chesterfield would be called Chesterfield Sheepshaggers. ps. why have you disliked my above post?
... sorry kiddo but by the quality of your posts on our board so far it comes as no surprise to me that your mum may still be helping you with your shoes ... still velcro straps or have you been learning laces?
Was there not even a vote, like when we were considering changing to Leicester Fosse a few years back? I'm not sure the vote (wasn't it just holding up cards at a match? I was there but very young) meant much but at least the fans were considered. This has just come out of nothing.
It sounds like a dance troupe formed by the junior fan club who get to perform at half time when nothing more interesting is going on
You can thank the Premier League for this. The desperation to be up there and part of what is essentially a pointless competition is so high that fans will sell out anything just for a sniff at it. And for what? To watch "prettier" football. You get to watch your team lose week after week but at least they do it playing better looking football. Fans have been brainwashed into buying into this crap. They've forgotten that every week should be about beating the opposition no matter what. Being in the Premier League is pointless unless your club has a chance of getting to the top.
