Indeed it was, but it remains the only "independently" scrutinised ballot. And, as I said, I suspect he will go down the restraint of trade path which rather makes the F A's view of the ballot irrelevant.

And thanks for a sensible reply rather than the rather pathetic "you're a twat" that the shallow end of the gene pool have responded with.

He agreed to restrain his trade when he signed up to the FA rile book at the start of the season. That's a blind alley I'm afraid TygerTyger.
 
OK Mr Allam have a proper vote on a match day at the turnstiles.

DO you prefer HULL TIGER

or

Do you prefer HULL CITY

Hull Tigers would get less then 100 votes , even those who want you to stay know that.

I'm not ignoring Allams stupidity. But my points are valid. I'm not saying I'm in favour of the name change, or against it. I'm merely suggesting what I fear will be the next step. I fear the effect on the club, but I don't see either side giving up soon. If CTWD want to win in the long term they will have to do so with reasoned argument, not simply by calling everyone who has any other view a ****er or twat.

And it's very clear that CTWD do NOT do those things. A mouthy keyboard Rambo and a well oiled supporters campaign group are clearly separate things.
 
Weren't there a few fans registering a new club called Hull Tigers? Now that our name-change has been rejected, they should now be free to register their club as Hull Tigers, meaning no other club can ever be called that as long as they exist?

1. Our capacity is 24,505, so I don't know where this 25,000 crowd is.
2. You are a ****.
3. At least 2450 of that capacity has to be away supporters.
4. You are a ****.

Not to stick up for the gormless twat or anything but the KC capacity is 25,404.

Lose what?

2517 out of a 25000 crowd?

A crowd wasn't asked to vote. 15033 eligible season ticket holders were asked to vote by the owner. The silent majority were asked to come out & be heard in supporting AA. 2565 supported him the rest didn't. The silent majority shouted their disapproval straight back at him.

You really are a little dim aren't you. Time for bed yet?

Keep telling yourself that if it gives you comfort. Incidentally I notice Curtis Davies and Steve Bruce don't share your warped view of the vote.

Who are you going to support after next season?

Of course they don't. Are they going to publicly disagree with their employer? They are employees of the company, not fans of the club. I can't believe I have even had to explain this...

Not me mate, I'll go as often as I always have. I can't lose Hull City I'm happy, Hull Tigers I'm happy. You are the one who'll have to find a new club to embarrass with your presence.

Which part is warped?

Me stating the fact that only 2565 out of 15033 eligible voters supported AA or you suggesting 2517 out of a 25000 crowd are against the name change & that I will lose. You don't say what I'll lose but I presume you mean I'll lose the name of the club I support to Hull Tigers even though the Council of the Ruling Body of Football in this country have just rejected the proposal meaning the current name. Hull City AFC will remain.

Not listened to the interviews, did they discuss the ballot?

You''re really not that bright are you?

You have of course put your finger on the problem. The "appeal" is likely to be on Legal grounds. I doubt the F A can legally stop the owner of a company from changing its name.

They can, of course, then stop "Hull Tigers" from entering their competitions. This however would be extremely difficult for them to do, the logistics of expelling Hull from the premiership would be massive, and even more so if (as seems likely) we win the F A cup. Would they promote an extra team from the Championship, or not relegate Sunderland?

If they did I would expect a case in court for restraint of trade. Especially embarrassing for the F A in the light of their own record of "Name Changes" for their flagship knock out competition "The Budweiser F A Cup". Most likely the F A would not challenge the case as they would lose. The whole thing is in danger of becoming an unmanageable Holy mess.

Best get your tin hats out lads, the fact is the poll went in Allams favour. If he had lost by 48 votes you would expect him to have dropped the issue, as he won he is entitled to expect the same. That is the way a court will see it. And, lets face it, AA can afford to go to court, CTWD can't, and the F A won't.
They were embarrassed enough by losing the Massimo Cellino affair, they won't want the cost of losing another high profile case.

He can call the company owner Hull City what he wants. He has to apply to the FA to change the playing name. They are the rules. If the FA have conducted themselves properly during the application process the court will reject the clubs legal action. If you want to pick up the ball and run with it you play rugby not association football. If he wants to become Hull Tigers he can withdraw from the FA and set up his own league, just like Kerry Packer tried.

Silly little boy.

You failed your course yet? You will.

See you are still licking the arses of the big boys. Why don't you just copy what they say - oh, you are.

So, ok then 15000 could vote, only 2500 said no, the rest all said yes or we are not bothered. You going to call Curtis Davies a **** for saying the same thing? To his face?............No, thought not. Spineless tosser.

Tyger

From a research point of view Allam's ballot has no objective validity, reliability and to some extent authenticity. I would fail one of my first years if they attempted to produce a piece of quantitative research like this as supporting evidence. M'learned friends would have a field if this was presented by the Allam's in a court.

Bruce and Davies said what anybody would in their position.

PS. Currently, I am passing my first year comfortably. Thanks for the support though.

Forget those who were FOR; those who were AGAINST; and the DON'T CARE lot. The real Silent Majority is those who didn't enter a vote, surely? All 9000+ of them......

His use of the words silent majority seemed puzzling, I assume he meant the FA had silenced those who he thought won the ballot.

That's true. They must be embarrassed by some of these fools, I disagree with them and I'm embarrassed that they associate themselves with the club.

We don't all have to agree, but the simple stupid abuse is just a sad reflection on their personalities.
