Every City fan likes the Allam's, this is not an anti-Allam campaign, it's entirely about stopping a name change and that alone.
Yes, it says that fans of other clubs are sympathetic and would hate to have this imposed on their club(and for the record, it was mainly Villa fans, as we just played them). Nobody has been attacked with a leaflet, those giving out the leaflets have generally been praised for the way they have conducted themselves. It's true, I don't suffer fools gladly.
Of course arguments are going to get heated. I can't seriously believe you didn't expect that to happen. It's our club and we want what's best for it, rather than live in cloud cuckoo land and chase a pipe dream. People are going to get annoyed when the very fabric of the club is being destroyed.
Thank you. So is there anything wrong in letting people know that you'd prefer for us to be called Hull City A.F.C in some official manner? I mean I suppose the #NoToHullTigers can come across as a little imposing to some. However is there an alternative way of doing things? I'm all ears. I appreciate there are a lot of people out there who would carry on going regardless of what our name is but is there any harm in expressing a preference and getting on board with a campaign that closely matches that preference?
Having spent plenty of time flicking through that petition I can assure you that the large majority of the names on there are Hull City supporters. As the campaign has gained exposure and conversations have been had on opposition forums we have had a flurry of support from those clubs. is that such a bad thing? I think it adds context that it isn't just City fans getting into a flap over nothing.
Not liking what of the Allam's? Or did you put an apostrophe in as you are one of those who think that every word ending in the letter s should have an apostrophe in it? I am firmly in the No group but have no dislike of the Allams let alone an ulterior motive.
I think you need to separate posters posting on a message board and the campaign against the name change, they're not the same thing. If I'm giving out leaflets, or acting on behalf of the campaign group, then I'll act accordingly. If I'm merely posting as myself on a message board, I'll take a pop at anyone I think is being a twat and I'll debate The Smiths over Level 42 etc, as normal.
If you'd expressed an opinion, rather than just making snide remarks about the campaign I'm a part of, I might not have thought you were a twat at all. Just saying.
I'm not, so that's that arguement foiled before it hits the ground. I spoke out quite vociferously in favour of the Allams when they were castigated & abused by many on here who were upset at they way NB had been sacked. Many of these people are now quite apathetic to the name change. There is no ulterior motive. Just people who, like you, would prefer to keep our club's name the same as it has been for many many generations. The only difference is there are others who, unlike you, are prepared to question the need for the name change & express a wish to maintain our current name, the name which you prefer. If this is your view, thanks for putting it accross but, in this instance, it's wrong.
Robo So the problem is with the Campaign rather than the concept of remaining Hull City A.F.C. With that said how would you propose to get your own personal opinion known to Mr Allam? As I said there is a lot of support from other teams recently on the petition. However if you scroll through all 4,000 names you will find the Vast majority are City fans. I think in a Campaign such as this you have to turn a blind eye to individuals and go with the general consensus of the group. OLB may be a twat (I wouldn't have a clue,I don't know the bloke). There may be a Racist posting on the petition. However it is the official stance of the group that is to be supported, not the actions of any single individual.
