    If you check our Twitter stats, we have more followers in Cairo than we do in Hull.

    I assume you are referring to yourself, in which case I sympathise, but can't empathise. Happy Tiger has owned up to being the actual individual who prefers sex to football.

    Just in case you hadn't noticed, our shirt already has a tiger on it, that's the farce of this whole thing.

    This is a really good point. Personally I would have thought Gedo was worth a punt in front of the unfortunate Danny Graham, but I don't pick the team. Maybe SB knows something I don't.

    In any event, should we not be doing more to increase sales in Cairo.

    My vote is Assem buys a shop in the Souks and we send Olm to run it. All in favour? Or do we need a referendum?

    Yes, It had not escaped my notice, but that cuts both ways. Why are you so upset about it when we've been known as the tigers for years and have had them on the shirts for as long as anyone can remember?

    Our name is Hull City AFC, our nickname is The Tigers, there was never any good reason to change either.

    Yes, I know our current name, and our nickname, and our registered name. I think the possibility of massive investment leading to success and away from extinction is a good reason.

    A spin off could be helping to protect the actual tiger from extinction, which would be another good thing. So I disagree with your conclusion.

    The club actually works to protect the tiger from extintion already.

    Though the club probably needs to review this ongoing if we want to appeal to the Chinese market, as they're the main reason that they're nearing extinction.

    You wouldn't believe how much tiger cock costs.

    I don't really know what the probability is. You've seen the replies people on here have got from the FA. If the FA decide to contact the supporters' groups directly then yes I expect us to be invited to give our opinion. On the other hand if they tell the club to do it, then maybe not. All we can do is prepare a submission which explains why we should remain Hull City.

    In a sense we are making history. We are the first Premier League team to apply and I should think the FA will want to get it right.

    Woah easy Tyger! Its nowt to do with sex over football, its purely a practical arrangement, Dec is a busy month in my household, all weekends have stuff family related, and its already an expensive month too. I can't just nip on a bus to see any games!

    Our history is our history. If you were born in Hull and wanted success you followed Leeds United or Liverpool.

    A football club changing its name isn't routine.

    During our promotion year Assem Allam increased our income by £35,000. He was helped in that by a reduction in our stocks of goods for resale by £200,000.

    Why do you think he'd be any more successful at selling Tigers to the Chinese?

    Only someone a bit dense would assume I was referring to myself, so it is understandable you making that mistake.
    Someone with a bit of intelligence would have realised I meant another individual as aopposed to the one I thought it was. Does Happy Tiger have to give up football in order to have sex? Is there some reason why going to football in December prevents him having sex? How strange. Are all pro name change people as weird as you two?

    Shame you won't bow to my greater experience of marketing in Asia, but one step at a time...

    Of course December isn't a busy month in other households. Nor is it expensive for others. Yet they still manage to go to football matches,

    I can guess your wife 's favourite Rolling Stones track.

    Oh right, I thought we were special with 5 family birthdays, 1 anniversary and a traditional weekend visit to some friends during this month.

    Each trip to the KC takes me 2-3 hours driving. Away games obviously vary but the closest to me is the Emirates which is an hour on the train plus some walking.

    My wife doesn't like the Rolling Stones.

    Are all anti progress supporters as dense as you?

    That's a nice compliment for Happy, I hope he appreciates it.
