    Hull City have applied to the English FA to change their name to Hull Tigers from next season.

    Club owner Assem Allam wants to re-brand the 109-year-old Yorkshire club but the move has provoked a fierce backlash among fans.

    Egyptian-born businessman Allam changed the name of the club's holding company from Hull City Association Football Club to Hull City Tigers in August.

    Allam believes a "Tigers" brand would have more of a global marketing impact.

    Diehard Hull fans have pledged to fight any name change and have formed the campaign group "City Till We Die".

    Well, that's a bit ****.

    Clubs have always changed their names though...

    Dial Square to Royal Arsenal / Woolwich Arsenal / The Arsenal /Arsenal

    Newton Heath to Manchester United

    Ardwick to Manchester City

    Thames Ironworks to West Ham United

    Small Heath to Birmingham City

    ...to name just a few.

    Did Hull city fans organise a demonstartion when Wimbledon became MK dons? Did they show solidarity with Cardiff city fans when the board changed the shirt colour from blue to red? No? Well GTF
