I'm sure you could get FC City of Hull, but there's absolutely zero chance of the FA allowing another team to be called Hull City.
Now you definitely have misunderstood my point, I was criticising those who are for the name change by saying they aren't real fans, the way I worded it probably didn't help, but when you start ranting, you just can't stop.
I'm sick of it all, but I just think by people walking away and letting Allam poison our club it will only do more harm than good. I have considered not going to games, not based on money, but based on my opinion on this situation. At the end of the day no one can tell me what I call my club, and no matter what decision is reached, it will still be Hull City A.F.C to me.
I too will be moving up age brackets, I'm hoping they freeze the prices from this season, but Allam will put the prices up, no doubt.
Ah right no worries mate, when you say about ranting I see someone use the words real fan and it sets me off
even with people who are pro name change you can't really say they aren't 'real fans', they believe that the name change will benefit the club (even though they are wrong).I just feel putting £500+ into something that annoys me rather than excites me anymore I will probably not renew and pick and choose home and away games next season.

Fair enough, quite a few people are in your position, it's a shame we're losing dedicated fans who have followed us most of their lives because they're getting priced out of the game/being put off by our owners antics.

Could lead to cheaper passes/tickets etc, hope it comes off!
Hopefully that does come to something good.
I guess I took it for granted that City have the student bracket, I started work as an apprentice at 18 (£100 per week) and I wouldn't have been able to afford a full price season pass at todays price it would have been more than a months wages. I'm not on great money now but I could just afford the £500+ if I really wanted to but I am very reluctant to pay that much with everything going on, it's definitely a combination of the two.
Not sure if you are aware but you can pay a deposit and pay the rest over 8 monthly instalments, I'm currently paying £25.50 per month, which isn't so bad. I can imagine it being at least £50 per month when I go up to the adult bracket.
I did know that but completely forgot about it as I've never used it, thanks.
I imagine it would have to be otherwise you wouldn't pay enough to pay the cost of the pass.
Which has nothing to do with would we still be Hull City if the name was changed.
Last time I put some air in my tyres it cost me 30p.
30p to improve your vehicles performance and potentially save your life,Coffin.

Allam wants the name change to improve exposure and marketing potential in the far east market, they are only interested in EPL football, so outside of the EPL his argument doesn't stack up and the name, from a marketing POV becomes irrelevant
Allam doesn't give two ****s about Far Eastern exposure & marketing. The name change proposal is all about his childlike spat with HCC & the subsequent, self perceived, bruised ego he acquired when the FA, correctly, told him to stick his name change up his arse.
You may well be right Ben and at the time it kicked off I found it strange that he was spouting that in the marketing world the shorter the name the better,rather strange that TIGERS has more letters than CITY.I think he should try to prove his own theory and clear off and see how long it takes him to get Bury into The Champions League !!
Would I stop going if the name change happens......I don't think I could stop going after nearly 50 years of supporting City / The Tigers .
I would still sing City Songs ...still call the club Hull City.
Hopefully we could get the name change reversed .
I don't think the name change will happen though.
Ps.....maybe I would just go to away games as a token protest

I aren't complaining, just pointing out that air isn't necessarily free.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before you pointed out your lofty opinion makes you a 'real fan'; shame.
