Don't know if anyone's seen yet, but Amber Nectar just did their first Podcast for their regular "Things we think we think". Some of the points raised and the opinions were first class IMO (in regards to the name change and people's lack of faith in the players ability from last Season. Have a listen, it's worth it.

Two blokes having a chat who agree with each other. Not sure why they felt the need to share the conversation with anyone else though.
Is it just me that doesn't find the stuff about slaughtering the fans in City till I die East stand, not funny? I happened to be watching the news on Saturday and stuff like that is going on for real in our owners country of birth. Spare a thought for our owner, his friends and family, they have relatives living through this mayhem, with no certainty of the outcome. I did not find the first part of that podcast funny in any way. Maybe it's just me.
Is that what the East Stand is actually called? I knew they were theming the stands, but why call it something like that? Especially after his ****e rebranding. Bleedin' hell we'll never get Steve Jordan off the pitch.
I think the guys at Amber Nectar are slowly disappearing up their own arses. They seem have to decided they're the voice of Hull City, and that anybody who disagrees isn't a "proper Hull City AFC fan". Can't be doing with listening to 20 minutes of mutual arselicking.
Since Pearson, Pearson and Barmby and people realised I was right all along, I've agreed with people quite a bit.
I stopped listening after the "anyone who agrees with Hull Tigers is a troll". I'm 100% against changing our name, but I'm also not stupid/arrogant enough to think that people who disagree with me are doing it to wind me up.
Based on some of the posts I've just just been reading on here, I can only assume that's exactly what they're doing. I don't know of a single person(other than Assem), who thinks this is a good idea. Some, for reasons that escape me, couldn't care less, others think the Allam's have bought the right to do anything they like, but none actually see any benefit in a change.
I think the banner at the game yesterday " Your company or club" isn't understood by the owners, they see it as it being one, and fail to see the difference.
I don't understand this mentality. The club and the company are one and the same. If the company went bankrupt, the club assets including the players would be stripped and sold-on. There would not be a club left for the fans to support. Allam did not invest in Hull City because it was a promising business acquisition. His financial advisors would have told him to stay clear. This is not me saying I'm for the name change. This is me saying fans are in no position to dictate to the owner what business decisions he can and can't make.
His financial advisors will presumably now be telling him that a business pissing off many of its customers, for no good reason, should ideally also be avoided. Particularly as, if he did change it, the next owner would almost certainly change it back again, as it would be a stupid thing to do in the first place. He might own the club, but he's only temporarily in charge, there will be a next owner.
Exactly, so why change the name, if it did have any commercial plus, as being a reasonably successful business man myself, I would be the first to endorse it. My point is that they should at least have some respect for people like me that has supported, and paid many tens of thousands of pounds since 1958 when I first went for my first game opinion. All we every asked was to be consulted, but to tell lies that it was just a pet name of the owner when it was clearly not, is just not on.
Be careful what you wish for.... the next owner (or consortium) may not have any concern for the success of the team, or have any ties to the community. At least Dr Allam's motives about giving something back to the community have integrity.
I wasn't wishing for anything, I was merely making the point that the club will be around long after he's gone. He is the current custodian of the club, there have been plenty before him and there'll be plenty after him. Other than this pointless exercise in re-branding and the unnecessarily shabby treatment of Nick Barmby, I think he's done a brilliant job.
