    Even my wife has just said he's behaving like a prat! And she was one of the not bothered brigade! So how many more of them who aren't that bothered are starting to think the same?

    What kind of turd would wear a replica top over a SHIRT <yikes> AND tuck it in?

    Even Gok Wan would shudder at the thought

    Some of you lot are really precious. Its a good statement. Pokes and laughs gently some of the regular CTWD bile we see that does genuinely cause us an embarrassment too.

    It's almost like some of you need to be outraged and offended by absolutely anything released or done by the club.

    All the money in the world can not by you class! You've either got it or you haven't! Tan & AA are obviously lacking! And it's about Time EHAB grew a pair and stood up to daddy!

    "This sentiment is not echoed by all 18,000 season card holders."

    I must have missed this poll.

    Did he have the poll to ascertain this fact when I was laid up in Southend General?

    Not really, since it's a response to media published Thursday.

    If 17,999 agreed and 1 didn't then the statement would be correct. I think it's fair to say that not all 18,000 season card holders agree without having a survey.

    =====================================

    That statement doesn't offend me either happy.

    Why would it ?

    I don't see any abuse or insults .

    PUBLISHED

    15:55 21st February 2014

    Following an article in yesterday&#8217;s media, we would like to clarify our position with regards to sponsors for next season.

    Our Hull Tigers application is intended to capitalise on the club&#8217;s 100-year heritage of being the Tigers. Over the past six months our vice-chairman Ehab Allam and commercial manager Simon King have been speaking to several globally recognised brands. Although some of these brands have &#8216;Tigers&#8217; in their names, the current front-runners for next year&#8217;s sponsorships do not, although they do hail from regions where tigers are both prominent and celebrated.

    Also highlighted in the same article was the notion of increasing season card prices for next year. The 1,600 strong &#8216;City Till We Die&#8217; campaigners have objected to the club&#8217;s application in their 21-page report to the FA, suggesting an alternative commercial strategy, which may include an increase to season card prices. This sentiment is not echoed by all 18,000 season card holders.

    A significant rise to season card prices (not limited to the suggested 50%) would still be dwarfed by the potential revenues generated as a result of being Hull Tigers. As stated in our application to the FA, &#8220;the business plan which forms the basis of this application will help protect affordable ticketing for our supporters&#8221;.

    We thank you for your continued support ahead of a big game this weekend against Cardiff.

    There isn't anything offensive in there, people have said it offended them but not said why. Over precious flat earthers.

    Maybe the fact that they are AGAIN attempting to belittle the CTWD campaigners by attempting to imply that 18,000 Season Ticket holders will dislike the CTWD campaigners, when in fact, as a Season Pass holder myself, I'd be pissed off with the Allams. I bet the majority of the 18,000 actually oppose the name change anyway.

    It's another example of the Club trying to say that the opposition are a "minority".

    Laughable.

    It's not so much offence, more embarrassment and eye-rolling.

    Slowly mutating into anger in some cases, as the inaccuracies and lies hit home.

    Again.

    Time for the FA to put this to bed.

    Yes, it's carefully worded to create an impression. I've taken the justification to the extreme, but both sides have said that opinion is divided so there's nothing wrong with saying that not all 18,000 agree with it.
