    And - I'm sure you'll agree - a totally pointless one.

    Only relevant regarding numbers for and against (if that is easily posed) but should have been posed before 'Doctor' Ass started this divisive business.

    I'm not in CTWD

    But if the name change happens I Hope DMD / OLM etc etc still keep going.

    Why should they walk away ?

    For me FANS are more important then the name change.

    I would urge all supporters to keep going

    Call the team what they want and sing the songs they want.

    Besides.....once its in the blood how can anyone really stop going.

    I think people are suggesting that it will cease to exist - Southern Rhodesia has ceased to exist - some people have never even heard of it - it's now Zimbabwe and run by a despot - a completely different entity to Southern Rhodesia - not difficult to see the similarities

    I'm curious Stan, why would you quote someone elses post and change it, suggesting that is what was in the OP? Deceitful much?

    Similarities? You mean it was an English football club who had its name changed? I see.

    "Int: If the decision doesn't go , with your proposal, what's the next step?

    AA: what matters to me most is the fans. more than the decision from the FA. if the FA says in April yes, and the fans say no, I think then no. I don't force the issue. I go by the fans, not the FA, er, and if we cannot do it, then we walk out and the club will be for sale. we've said this before.

    EA: yeah, I think there are two things here, one is the FA decision and one is the support from the fans. I think with what we've done with the club so far we would like to feel we were supported by the fans. if were not doing, if the community isn't backing us and don't want us here then fair enough. but in terms of the FA rejecting our application then there are methods we can use to challenge that in the future.

    AA: I feel we have a duty to protect the silent majority and well never leave this, we will protect the silent majority until we know that they are not a majority. "

    Looks to me like Dr Allam is expecting a no vote from the FA and this fan vote could be used in an attempt to sway them into allowing it, perhaps as part of a legal challenge. If that's that's the case, then surely the question(s) in it cannot be leading, ambiguous or vague.

    It was No To Hull Tigers.

    What you on about. It's a stupid question. The straight answer is I don't know. It won't make a difference either way, it'll just be about principle. Can I support a team called Hull Tigers? Probably not. It's nothing to do with me any more than any other club. The main thing for me is saving my team so I don't ever have to decide whether to support a different one.

    You change your mind to suit so much it's ridiculous. When I objected to someone misquoting me in a far more significant way than that and edited it out, you had a paddy and tried to make out I was censoring and defended the poster who did it. Do you actually have any permanent standards at all? It seems like you just chop and change simply to wind people up.

    Really - on what grounds would they want to change the name. What possible benefit can it have?

    Benefit: It would keep in place the best chairman we have ever had, or put it another way... it would keep away the uncertainty of a new owning consortium who's only incentive would be to bank all incoming revenue for themselves.

    Are you ****ing ******ed?

    I said the name won't change, so I don't need worry about what happens next season, as we'll still be Hull City.

    It's funny that he accuses you of a 'lack of testicles', because he is a fence sitter on the subject.

    I'm not anti-Allam, it's you who called him a cancer.

    And I'm only a better fan than you, as you don't actually go to Hull City games, whereas I do.

    Pretty simple really.

    Bullshit scaremongering. The English football world is in agreement that Allam and Tan are the least desirable owners to have. Your obsession with someone even worse coming in is ridiculous. Owners change all the time.

    If Allam really is going to walk because he doesn't get his way then why would you want him here? It'll just confirm how completely unfit he is to run a football club.

    Another pathetic argument. It's time to attack the Allams.
