Banner ideas for next week and beyond...

[King Curtis]

Not sure the views of fans from other clubs are really valid. I suspect most of them are pissing themselves at the hissy fits from both sides in this and are just voting to make mischief.

Well they are really as it shows solidarity over a football issue. Check out the petition thread if you don't believe me. Fans of Swansea and Sunderland amongst those taking their time to constructively show their support for retaining our name. I highly doubt fans and media outlets are laughing at how us fans are divided over it. I'd wager its more the lunacy of the situation and how moronic the reasons are for the proposed change.

Hull City. It hasn't changed yet. If he gets his way Hull City won't play at the KC Stadium cos they won't exist.

I don't understand your point.

Abyssinia - Ethiopia
Ceylon - Sri Lanka
Persia - Iran
Siam - Thailand

I could go on. When they changed their names, they disappeared did they, never to be seen again? No, their names just changed. Same people, same buildings, same mentality.

When my daughter gets married and changes her surname, is she no longer my daughter? No, she's exactly the same person, she's just changed her last name, which is hardly used on a day to day basis, rather everyone calls her her first name, nickname or whatever else they want to call her.

Whatever the owners call the club, it will still be hull city to me and everyone else that matters. We won't lose any new fans over this, we won't lose any true existing tigers over this (if we do frankly they can **** off). We MAY get more fans in the Middle East and Far East from the change. If we don't, we've lost nothing. If we do, happy days.

There are far far far more important things in life, and if there isn't, you need to have a look in the mirror and reassess your life.

We're losing me over this. Claim I'm not a true fan? I was in the lowest ever crowd for a competitive City game and the lowest ever league crowd. Were you? Answer me completely honestly.

Don't ever call me not a true fan. I'm a fan of Hull City and that's completely the point.

 

[Diddy]

I presume you're referring to Torquay, in which case you'd be talking out your arse as a) i was there and b) it wasn't the lowest attendance.

That you resort to 'I've been to this game, have you?' shows how inane your arguments are. I've been a mascot 3 times, served drinks in the club bar, played for city boys and once petted a tiger. Who gives a ****, it doesn't make me a bigger than than someone who has only been twice on a freebie because they can't afford it or someone who has been to every game since 1956.

The club will always be 'hull city' to the amber nation. That you can't seem to grasp that changing afc to tigers does not alter who we are at heart means you have a different view on what makes us, us.

If you're not going to watch anymore or follow the club just because afc is now tigers, then yes, personally I think you're a dick....But then deep down you know full well that you'll always follow then, even I'd it does grate for a while ��

 

[WhittlingStick]

i typed Newton Heath into googlizor and the top return was a Manchester Utd game versus Wigain tomorrow at 3pm

im getting confuddled by all this name ****

 

[Craigo]

A football club isn't a chocolate bar you clueless twat, and I think you'll find most of us DO give a flying fuck

Not picking a fight or anything, but don't you think you should correct your user name if you're going to campaign for HCAFC?

Its Allams arf brother

 

[City1904]

No-one has answered this question what benefit do we get to changing our name?

Also its not just dropping AFC, the club and the Allams have stated they want our name to be Hull Tigers, we are not American, we are not some franchise. This is football, not some corporate sport about money that they want it to be.

I do not see what benefit it has dropping AFC and adding Tigers. If someone can show me some benefits, i might be persuaded, but there are none. This is just to inflate his huge ego.

 

[BrAdY]

"What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It's not the television contracts, get out clauses or the marketing departments or executive boxes.

It's the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love." Sir Bobby Robson (1933 -2009)

If you think it's a minority you are deluded.

even if its 3000 its a minority of people compared to attendances this season .. face it .. the "old hardened supporters" are long gone in the eyes of the club

I found it quite embarrassing today listening at pub when they were saying "the premierleague has blocked our name change" .. put them straight and their remarks were "the hull daily mail said otherwise" .. I showed them the daily mail and the hull daily mail article and all of a sudden they saw sense ..

people have bitten onto a small carrot here .. the "playing staff" will be known as Hull City ... as they have for decades

the marketing etc will be hull city tigers and hull tigers depending on the market

what will some of you be like when we leave the KC for ****s sake .. as this is only phase 1 in us leaving ..

If it's to melton i'm gone

If it's to melton i'm gone

Don't worry BB they don't have the money to do it and if they borrow over£100m for their sports village then god help the debts they'll incur.

Interesting that you reduce the number of people voting by 22%. (3671) So you're happy that in your view "the old hardened supporters" are cast aside by the Club?
As your biased in favour no doubt you informed the pub in such a way.The premier league have stated that no approach has been made to them to alter the name of the playing side but "If any club wanted to change the club name we would talk to them and see what processes of consultation (with supporters) they had gone through.” The club have indicated that the playing side will be changed from 2014/15 to Hull City Tigers, not just the commercial side as Thompson told RH.. Have they consulted fans on this? No. Do they intend to? Who knows.
Do you really believe the Allams the resources ti finance a move to Melton?

do you really think the name change marketing wise is not part and parcel of investment coming in to fund a certain stadium amongst other things ? ... or does it need drawing in little step by step pictures for you ?

do you honestly think they have just done this without any thought or any larger agenda finance wise at all ? contrary to what a lot of fans think , the allams are business men pure and simple , if they have decided to do this change , its part of a bigger and grander plan money wise which will see us better off than where we are now ...

I for one trust them in that respect .. their track record is enough reason to business wise

 

[Jobboshinpad]

We're stuck in the past, we're stuck in the past, we are dinosaurs we're stuck in the past.

That's a good start for a banner.

If the club can't evolve then it won't survive, the economy and FIFA fair play rulings will dictate which division clubs will end up in, the Allams have saved the club and have the ability to take it forward. Tell me which owners have done this much in the last 109 years ?

I hate moaning ****s as much as I hate those stuck in the past, change is inevitable embrace it, Support the team, if you can't do this **** off you moaning ****s. Thanks

well said , although I think its only the "torquay 15000" or however many where there that night that seem to have the biggest problem ... after all that's what defines a "true fan"

Well thanks for not answering my questions in such a condescending manner. You must be worried that with the demise of the circuses the opportunity to attain the position of a clown is diminishing.
Are you Nick Thomson in disguise?
So selling marine equiopment is the same as running a football club is it? What evidence do you have for your assertions it's part of a bigger agenda and why do you think Hull City AFC will be better off? Please answer step by step.

good job newcastle didn't have such **** fans or everton.. otherwise their stadium name and new badge wouldn't have been reverted
