    So far, the PL have not even been able to explain what 'consultation with fans' actually means.

    Which is actually a bad thing for the campaign because anything not explicit is open to interpretation.

    100% predictable that as guests of HCFC for the day, they didn't offend their hosts by seeking out people with viewpoints conflicting with those of Assem Allam.

    Or that the BBC don't consider it worth covering?

    Even HDM have stopped reporting it now. Has been relegated to Phil Buck tweets.

    When was the last time you saw one word of criticism in the BBC's football coverage?

    Say no evil, see no evil, hear no evil.

    That's one comfortable gravy train they're on.

    I'm starting to enjoy how desperate the 'I don't care' brigade are sounding.

    We may not have won the war, but the first battle is definitely ours.

    In fact Namechange can you answer me one question please. How much coverage to your knowledge has this protest group received in the national media? purely for interests sake

    Short answer: I don't know

    What I do know is that almost no one nationally takes Hull Tigers or Hull City Tigers seriously. For them we are still 'Hull' (see BBC Premier League table for details) as it's brief and to the point, and for opposing fans and journalists they scoff at 'Hull Tigers' whilst pitying our fans.......they make a point of emphasising that they will call us Hull City, as most are attuned to the crass creeping banalisation of our game for commercial ends.

    I thought this was at least round 3?

    Battle won = handing out some leaflets? <doh>

    Thank you for the 1st statement which answered my question. We will never agree on the name change argument and I love the fact that you know the mind-set and opinions of all opposition fans and journalists, and as for the not being taken seriously - that started last time we went up.

    And for information purposes - how many leaflets and badges were produced?

    I've been speaking to some of those involved today and they're blown away with the response.

    The campaign started this week, today was battle one.

    You already said you think the name change is a **** idea, stop pretending you approve.

    Looked like a great response to the leaflets, badges on loads of fans and a few leaflets found their way under Ehab's Ferrari wipers!

    Here's the latest one I recall reading from WHU site KUMB.....


    "Next up we travel oop North where our hosts will be Hull City. Or Possibly Hull City Tigers. Some sort of &#8220;rebranding&#8221; type thing we understand. Since we don't hold with such stuff here at the Avram Grant Olympic Rest Home For The Bewildered &#8211; we still refer to "Woolwich Arsenal" &#8211; we'll stick to Hull thank you very much."

    So I am not accused of being fair - OLM I have read the report on The Guardian website. And namechange just noticed the insult to Hull regarding Capital of culture at the end of the article

    I wish all those against it, all the luck in the world.. I just hope that AA's continued ownership is not under threat if the name change gets blocked. Maybe he could protest against the councils involvement with the stadium by.......................... ooh I don't know.. building a new stadium in Melton.

    <whistle>

    Why? Neither you, nor any of the other apathetic ****s, have explained why you continue to support a man who is a) willing to use you as a pawn in his pathetic games with the council, and b) lied blatantly about his intentions by saying 'Hull Tigers' was ONLY A PET NAME

    Edit: <laugh> @ 'Porn'

    Freudian slip :embarrassed:
