    If I had to choose from four, it'd go

    Volkswagen
    Audi
    Skoda
    Seat

    With discounts for OEM parts for pass holders.

    Notice a pattern here?

    Hard to choose. Probably Weyland-Yutani if I was forced into a choice.

    Weyland-Yutani would probably be the best choice.

    If the rumour of that detroit billionare buying us turned out to be true than Omni Consumer Products would win by a mile.

    They're film references.

    Cyberdyne Systems - The Terminator
    Weyland-Yutani Corporation - Alien
    Initech - Office Space
    Omni Consumer Products - RoboCop

    Is there anything about film/TV you don't know?

    On that theme I'd have ACME anyway.

    Well, I am a sad bastard.

    ACME would be good. I'd have Big Kahuna Burger.

    For the most part I've kept off here regarding all the name change discussions, so may have met this.

    Obadiah - one question - How?

    Well done to everybody protesting the name change. I enjoyed the comment about the silent majority protesting, as if they would or even existed. Its a funny thing but I've not met a single City fan that supported the change, just read comments online and heard a few people on Blunderside- Hull City AFC has fans to be proud of and a heritage to match
