I don't go to look at a name on a shirt, I go to watch football, and I prefer good football, but any football will do. It's only a bloody game, it's only a name, it's not as if someone's asking you to get twat tattood on your forehead or donate your limbs to amputees. It means nothing, it's not going to harm anyone.

I don't like tacky American style names but that's all it is at the end of the day, just a name. Don't judge a book by its cover, there's some real shallow over reacting pant wetting types on here. Cut your nose off to spite your face if you like, I'll keep my integrity and carry my life on just the way it is <ok>

I support Hull City AFC; when possible I travel a round trip of about 270 miles for a home game - or I did. The football is inconsistent (as is most) so no guarantees on quality. To do that regularly, when similar, or better, is available closer and cheaper, no driving so a drink with mates possible, that has to be a reason and that is my lifelong association with the club and that club is Hull City AFC, not Hull Tigers.

That's the reason why I believe the name is more important that you believe it to be; but you are a loud-mouthed gobshite who thinks anyone who doesn't share your opinion are 'real shallow over reacting pant wetting types'. :emoticon-0149-no:

Well you posted that you go to see good football, not a club with a particular name. If so, you're missing out by watching City.

You're not that thick PLT. You know that's not what I was saying. I thought it'd be obvious I was on about going to watch our team, as we're all hull fans posting on a hull forum. Goes without saying really.

I didn't say that anyway, I said I go to watch football, preferably good, not to look at a name on a shirt. Which in no way translates to "you go to see good football, not a club with a particular name. If so, you're missing out by watching City." so I'm not really sure where you got that idea from anyway.

Not people who don't share my opinion, but people who throw their toys out the pram and punish themselves are. If you enjoy going to watch the tigers, whether it's the football on display or everything else that comes with the match day experience that takes your fancy, why would you allow yourself to be bullied away from something you love by the big bully and hand him the victory he wants on a plate?

Be the bigger man, Allams toys have been out of the pram numerous times and he gets (rightly) heavily criticised every time. You lose all credibility by then going on to do the same thing yourself.

We've had many disagreements in the past Fez, and whether I've agreed or disagreed with you about something, I've always respected you as a man of great integrity who's not to be budged easily. Maybe I've been wrong about you all along....

I hope this doesn't happen. I want Bruce to stay neutral in all this.

Don't compromise the manager, Dyke.

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has hinted that Hull manager Steve Bruce could hold the key to the club's controversial rebranding proposal.

Owner Assem Allam wants to change the team's official name from Hull City AFC to Hull Tigers, incorporating their nickname in a bid to attract greater commercial interest from overseas.

The idea has been greeted with opposition by many fans, with protest groups formed and frequent chants of 'City Til I Die' at home games.

But Allam has forged ahead and has lodged an official request with the FA to complete the name change in time for next season.

The governing body must sign off on the plan for it to go ahead and are currently accepting submissions from interested parties ahead of a decision - possibly as early as next month.

Dyke insists all sides will be heard but believes the experienced Bruce is a voice that carries considerable weight.

He hasn't bullied me into doing anything, it's 100% my decision. I do go to other football; I get to other PL games with business friends, I am fortunate to have been invited to our game with ManU, it was not so long ago I did the ManU vs Everton game, complete with barge trip and piss- up after. I sometimes go to the SOL, Sid James and the Riverside, even Gateshead (did you ever check out their history on Wiki?). Then of course there are Northern League and Sunday League games. All not every week but I can dodge about and enjoy the variety and the different craic.

What Allam has done for me is make me realise that once the heritage of my club is ****ed with, it becomes no more than all of those others to me; the exception being the owner, who is not a man I would willingly patronize with my custom. His actions have made me a 'neutral', someone who likes football as a form of entertainment, but does not wish to caught up in his lies and deceit and be used like some tailors dummy.

So, like I said, I have considered my reasons, I have made a deliberate personal choice (not one I foist on anyone else) and I am prepared to discuss it if it helps others find their choice; the discussion might even temper mine, but I doubt it.

My toys are all in my pram, they simply go to different playgrounds. The way top-flight football is going, I can see the day when it will all be local lower league playgrounds, because it goes from bad to worse at the top - there's very little pleasure, just chasing what exactly? Sad, but true for me and many others I know in football.
