I'd argue others have helped make it a dirty word. It doesn't need to be. Whatever else, it is a huge part of us and our history and should be reclaimed.
Yeah, I agree 100%, but lets be realistic. This can happen with either a new owner, or a new attitude from the current owner (which isn't likely).
Until the Allams accept the fact that we are Hull City, publicly say so and stop the stealth rebranding and elimination of the words Hull City the word tiger will come across as a dirty word.
It also requires a change of attitude from the owner. Not unreasonable for supporters to want to see this, least of all when it comes to the issue of the name 'Tigers'. Surely you can't disagree?
I more than understand what you're saying, and it has certainly become that way, but we'd be failing if we didn't address that in amongst the other stuff, because I believe, what ever the root cause, we'd be playing our part in destroying a significant part of our history.
I feel some on here post things thinking the topic of Anti Allam will sway their comments to become a bigger issue than what it is. I'm another that has no issue with the Tigers Trust nor the scoreboard saying Tigers. I can't think why having Tigers on the scoreboard is an issue whatsoever. It was the rebrand to Hull Tigers that most didn't like, however our nickname is The Tigers and something to be celebrated
We agree on something then. I'm struggling to see how people can turn this announcement into the ****e in this thread. Dutch is right too. Some of you need to move on. I'd add you need to grow the **** up too. You really can't keep blaming the Allams for regurgitating the same tired and wrong crap.
im 99% sure back in the league one/div 3 days the scoreboard before it was like a screen said the tigers or tigers 2 oxford 1
When this was first announced, I thought it did seem a bit odd to make our charity partner an organisation that the club would normally fund anyway, but they do decent work and i don't really think it's a big deal. Neither do I think having Tigers on the scoreboard is a big deal, at least it wouldn't be if they got rid of all the utterly stupid Hull Tigers social media ****. Reverse The Rebrand. Reclaim The Tigers.
The Tigers trust really do some amazing stuff, mostly at grass roots. My lad got to take 5 penalties (he scored all 5 ) against Roary the Tiger. Now he's hooked on football - it's all he wants to do most days. They've been to his school and his football club - and this is how they grow the supporter base locally.
