I really can't stress how strongly I feel about this, I will remain fully onboard with the CTWD campaign and am fully prepared to take any necessary action required be that a full boycott or not. If our name is Hull Tigers next season I will not endorse this by purchasing a season pass, I really ****ing won't have it. I write to you today as a lifetime supporter of Hull City Association Football Club. Like many I have left my hometown as life often takes you away and currently reside down south. I take enormous pride in my roots and choose to channel this through my support for my team who I have held a season pass for since I was 12 years old. Our club is dangerously close to a re-brand that would not only damage the foundations of the club as a whole but the city of Hull itself. I understand today that the Owner of Hull City Mr Allam has formally requested the name of the club be changed to Hull Tigers. As I am sure you are more than aware, this is not only against the will of the vast, vast majority of supporters but also without any prior consultation. Let us not forget that only a few months ago the Managing Director Nick Thompson publicly claimed that there would be no immediate plans to change the name for only 2 weeks later this to prove to be an untruth. As the custodians of the English game, I have hope that you will accept your responsibility to protect not only the reputation of your individual members, but of the Premier League, and Football League as a whole. Hull City have played a 109 year history in this story and should you allow such disregard for the desires of the fans to be ignored I fear this will lead us down a slippery slope.
Ah, sorry, I didn't realise you were just looking for a silly argument, I thought you were making a point.
Andy k secretly hopes Mr Allam does a runner having sold our players to Leicester City on the cheap. We go down and the foxes walk the championship with prozzie scoring 20 goals for his team after Christmas.
Do you not think the way that email was put together puts to shame our fans who are sending less thoughtful emails and complaints?
I'm pretty sure you posted that comment looking for a silly argument. But as you said, our fans are embarrassing for having differing opinions.
Not at all, I think the quality of the email is irrelevant. More the quantity and intent of the emails. Each email is relevant and emphasises the point, no matter how well thought out and put together.
I am when arguing with childish, egotistical posters who thrive off imposing their views upon everybody else. But hey, at least he can have petty arguments. Keep up the good work
So, me praising a visiting fan for their support of a campaign supported by many City fans is imposing my views, and you adding your inaccurate opinion to my comments isn't? Okey dokey, as long as we're clear.
I am open to all opinions on here, but you surley must accept there is a lot of emotions running with this name change and feel some wum's who have no intrest in the matter post just to wind people up!
Email Sent. As an international fan with no personal ties to England I figured that my view might be valuable. As I am part of the segment of sports fans that the English game is attempting to draw in.
I think all views are valuable, but you're right, the considered opinion from one potential market should have weight.
