A march would take too much effort, and would also show just how under representative of the majority the "antis" actually are.
The votes mean nothing. Double voting?, the other thread where a Sunderland supporter from Darlington stated he signed it (didn't say how many times). The only true vote would be single vote for every season ticket holder, but that would not allow the supporters who only manage to attend the occasional match, or our distant supporters who should also have a say. So any true democratic vote would quickly descend into the farcical scenario similar to Brady's proposed referendum on the Stadium.
You do realise that Allam doesn't want to consult the fans and doesn't care about what they think? So how would we organise a vote of season CARD holders? It would be an administrative nightmare. I think the best bet is for us to appeal to the football authorities and explain the disadvantages of the change of name.
A degrading of the Premier League brand by having one of its teams undergo a whimsical and tacky name change.
Yes why not, it would give them a good laugh. The football authorities have had enough problems with owners who because of financial irregularities and business incompetence should never have been allowed anywhere near a football club. Our present owners are trying to run a self sustained business, which if successful will be rapidly followed by others.
Or a boost to the Premier League by the introduction of a forward thinking ambitious club, with a powerful, memorable and dynamic name. Opinions will differ.
Yes, I can just see them running off to the zoo trying to claim the best animal names before they get snapped up.
Are you saying that most other clubs getting to the Promised Land of the Premier League lack ambition and ideas? We already have the best nickname and club crest- why tamper with it? We are already commonly referred to as 'Hull'- the shortest name in the country. What kind of moron wants to re-invent the wheel here, ffs?
I assume that's a typo? I think you'll find half the people on here use animal names ("Tiger" "Crab" etc.) in one form or another, but that doesn't answer my serious question. What exactly are the disadvantages of a name change? I can understand why people don't like it, but I'm struggling to think of any actual disadvantages. If you know of some please enlighten me so I can support the movement to retain the name. I'm open to reasonable persuasion.
What's wrong with a new approach? We seem to be referred to equally as "Hull" and "The Tigers". Why not rationalise his by combining the two as "Hull City Tigers"? What harm can this do?
Aren't we the club furthest away from any other Premier League club? We are criticised by people who have never been here or fans who only go to the ground and consider themselves experts on Hull. Yet the inhabitants are very proud of their city and people. Now we are having a name foisted on us which will make us a laughing stock in the football world.
