Everything would be fine whilst the club retained it's Premier League Status.

Crowds would be down a few thousand but I guess those numbers would climb slightly as a group of neophyte supporters,all shiny and plastic with their "Hull Tigers" merchandise,would steadily replace those who boycott post-name change.

If Hull Tigers were relegated,that's when the **** hits the fan.

Agree with this, that there will be plenty of half and half scarf buyers who get a sufficient thrill at seeing Gerrard, Rooney etc to keep crowds up at the moment. If we go down though watch crowd numbers fall off a cliff. Millwall on a Tuesday night in February? 9,000 if we're lucky.
 
It seems a lot of the more vocal fans, in terms of singing and creating the atmosphere, are against it enough to stop going. Which could have a detrimental effect on team performances.

I could see there being a hardcore, say 20%, myself included, refusing to ever go watch Hull Tigers. Perhaps organising protests outside the ground every week but never attending actual games?

I think other NO folks would still go, but be very vocal against Allam, perhaps chanting for him to leave.

The "silent majority" would just sit there passively. As long as we stayed in the Premier League.

I could also see any future owner, in say 5-10 years, reversing the name change to win over (or win back) the hardcore.

OK so the OLD bastards will be alienated.
suppose he gets his way, and the rebranding goes ahead, we end up in top 5 in 3 years. We will get new fans to replace them.
them new fans will bring their kids and they will grow up with the club.

I wonder how many ArsenalWoolich fans are still around to protest. Sad fact is that most of you will be dead soon.

Why would changing the name mean we'd get into the top 5? We'd be much more likely to be relegated, same as we are now.

****s sake how simple?

AA cares about this club and he will continue to plow money into Hull Tigers and therefore we can buy better players.
gottit now?

He's not going anywhere. Who is going to pay him the money he wants for a team that doesn't own the ground. All Thursday was is another rehash of "if you don't give me what I want I'm off, honest".
 
If the rebrand goes through most of those who complain about it will still go to matches. The ones who refuse to go won't be missed or remembered, because others who want to see top quality football will soon take their places.
 
You mean the ones queuing around the block now to see us play? The Man City game has been on sale a week already and hardly a single ticket has been sold.

Allam and Bruce are building for success and if they achieve it the attendances will rise.

Plenty of tickets still available for West Ham on Monday, this despite all the new players on show.

I can guarantee the vast majority of season ticket holders in the North Stand would never entertain the idea of attending a 'hull tigers' game.

Nothing to do with it being on a Monday night, the A63 closed, a televised game and tickets at £35. Almost forgot and against West Ham!!

I didn't realise we had a waiting list for season passes.
 
I love how people there there are hordes of fans waiting to replace the ones who will be disaffected by a name change. We only got 18,149 for a home European fixture ffs.

If the name stays - everyone will be happy. If the name changes the club will be split. It's as simple as that. No one sane would risk that for an idea that has not even been researched and is being dismissed out of hard around the footballing world.
