These adolescents dishing out their foul mouth tirades are just part & parcel of this forum I'm afraid. This one is especially bad tempered, needs his mum to wash his mouth out with soap.
I'm not sure what research you've done, but as someone who's spent between three weeks and two months in China, every year for the past thirty years(most recently this September), I can tell you football fans there can't understand what the hell we're ****ing about at.
Stewards enquiry.. Eh I believe in free speech like the next man...But in this pricks case I'd make an exception.
initially, I was going to say "Lesster Tigers and Castleford Tigers are well supported over there because of their names... oh hang on" but then I realised that one is egg chasing and we are in the worlds most open/popular league, in the worlds most popular sport, surely that will make a difference. But in reality, the only thing that will bring us success among the asian youth markets are trophies.
Bollocks. Dutch is spot on there. It's embarrassing how small our crowds are looking at our catchment area. People take the piss out of Leeds but they've got Bradford next door and loads of other clubs in the vicinity. We've got no competition for miles. We've got our own corner of the country there for the taking yet half of them are Leeds, Liverpool or general PL fans. Only Mussie ever really wanted that and he's probably happy supporting Ferriby now. Oh and we're already the tigers ffs. All the name change would do is downgrade our status as The Tigers to just Hull ones. Even if Chinese people do their business based on which companies are tiger-related they'd invest already because we're already the Tigers. The Egyptians bought into the Gedo thing even though we aren't called Hull Gedos. Foreignors can see more than just the name.
exactly if he wants to break into asia perhaps he should make bruce sign a south korean/japanese super star changing our name when our badge already represents a tiger, won't do anything, he's just a fool
Asian football fans aren't stupid...they'll see right through any intention from the club to target them and join in with the rest of football in royally taking the piss...
I think you're being very generous there and giving a little too much credit. Prime example being the French. If they see anything british they wouldn't touch it with a flag pole.
It's entirely relevant. They look at the name, see British and think '"**** that". It's proof your point was wrong, as you claimed foreigners don't make decisions based on a name, when quite clearly they do.
I'm sure the insults coming out of the mouths of CTWD supporters agaiinst the new YorkAllams will drive people away from having anything to do with the CTWD brigade. In my opinion the Allams are. our best owners ever... From now on I support the Allams in doing everything the way they want.. I supported the sacking of NB from day one and that turned out to be a master stroke when our new manager, Steve Bruce took us to our first ever automatic promotion to the top league. Of course some people still hold a grudge against the Allams over the NB sacking even though the Allams proved it to be the right thing to do. CTWD HAS GROWN INTO A WE HATE THE ALLAMS PROTEST . **** the flag and the leaflets and badges...
The other day you admitted you knew the name change was a daft idea but were just a bit passionate in not wanting Allam to leave. Now you're going on about CTWD being ****s again...
CTWD has been far more respectful of Assem, than Assem has been of the fans. Despite recent events, CTWD remains a pro-Allam/anti-name change organisation.
how sustainable is that position? Clearly that might be true in public but I'm not sure it is behind closed doors.
Whilst I know that, to the masses they will hear the opposition towards he who shall not be named himself, know of the CTWD group and associate the 2. I did mention to OLM and Obadiah its too easy to put 2+2 together and lose some potential support through misinformation, and that CTWD should officially put down any anti HWSNBN ideology from the start before people confused their goal for hounding HWSNBN and his family out of the club.
It's become increasingly difficult over the past week, but we set up as a pro-Allam/anti-name change organisation and we remain one.
Tickler will shoot his load when he sees this. I think the CTWD group are quite open in their support of HWSNBN, they even go as far as naming HWSNBN by name. CTWD support HWSNBN but oppose the proposed name change of HCAFC to HCT or even HT.
