    The Allams don't do meaningless.

    The marketing team have taking the lead.
    The Premiership supporters have gone we are playing the smallest (no disrespect intended) and least known team in the league so I'm not surprised it's hull City Tigers this week rather than the Tigers v.

    With all due respect and not wishing to offend, ‘’The Tigers’’ has been in common every day conversational use in many quarters for all my seventy plus years. This is not to say I condone the owners meddling with our official name.

    I'd be amazed if that was the case
    From experience Ehab has his hands on even the smallest of decisions
    I'm with Balkan...they don't do meaningless, there's a reason behind everything

    That's right
    I don't think anyone's suggesting otherwise are they ?

    (apart from Assem who claims we've always been called Hull City Tigers)

    Missed all this conflab, off pitch City dramas are far beyond mind-numbing by this point that I now fail to keep up to date with things on this forum even close to regularly.

    My thoughts - it says 'Hull City Tigers'. Text size of any one or more of those words is irrelevant.

    I see no concession to fans, if anything just cynical goading by trying to be stealthy.

    For me, this was the first and most key problem with the owners. So even on this old **** nothing has progressed.

    Give no ground.

    You do know it's not a competition on who hates the Allams the most.
    As you believe I am wrong I also you think you are wrong.
    The Allams are committed with the Tigers not Hull City agenda and they have been advised to compromise by the the PR marketing team and Hull City Tigers is a compromise.

    The Allams taking advice from the PR team ! <laugh>
    Brilliant fictional tale

    Seriously, have you had any dealings with Ehab or senior members of the club's staff ?

    Whenever I come on here I can't work out if this is forum for Hull City supporters or just a platform for the anti Allam mob.
    Calm the **** down.

    I'm not remotely excited, I just fundamentally disagree with you

    You didn't answer my question by the way

    I've set myself the challenge of trying to guess the question without looking, and still guessing the answer.

    Is the answer, "Taurus, and my name is Larry"?

    Yes I believe those employed to market the team made the decision to call us Hull City Tigers this weekend.
    Should I expect people with forks outside my house in the next 30 minutes?

    No ...I asked whether you'd had any recent dealings with the club's management?

    It's a genuine question because if you have I'm very surprised that you'd think that Ehab wouldn't have either told them what to do first or had the final say on the words used

    Hallelujah, I've been saying it from the off. It's a game to him and he has control. He is called many things and is totally underestimated. It really makes me laugh that our best avenue of countering him, the media, has so much ****ed up thinking surrounding it. Social media has got much to do with that. He should receive more respect for being a not totally stupid, but very vindictive twat.

    I've always said that from experience he's got really tight control over the most amazingly small decisions
