Ignoring the wums, I've forgotten how long it took last time. When will we know the decision?
Pot calling kettle black!

I've always been an idiot but he made the statement. No further application will be made. Perhaps you'd like to point out the caveats he introduced when making that statement allowing him to make a further application. I don't recall him saying no further application unless the panel says I must make a new application.
You're not taking into account that Strov has on more than one occasion stated his point in capital letters. I think he even went to the effort of emboldening it at one point.
It may look like nonsense but if he posts in capitals then HE IS CORRECT END OF.

And yet you voted Yes to Hull Tigers in the poll???Anyone in favour of Hull Tigers isn't a real fan and shouldn't be going to watch Hull city AFC, because that is not the club that they want to support. Just people who have fallen under his spell of throwing money at the club. Rather go down and kill of this ridiculous idea.
What's telling in the debate this morning is how obvious some people's desire & passion for Premier League football is greater than their desire & passion for the club.
Everybody, on both sides of the argument, believe there is no genuine business reasoning behind changing the name of the club. Everybody is aware that Assem Allam has repeatedly told lies, made threats & gone back on his word. Everybody believes that "Hull Tigers" is a ****ing stupid name. Everybody is aware that Assem Allam's real reason for wanting to change the club's name is solely because of his unhealthy & obsessive hatred of Hull City Council which evolved from him not getting his own way when wanting to purchase the stadium & surrounding land. Everybody knows that remaining in the Premier League is not dependent on us changing our name to "Hull Tigers". Everybody knows that there is no increased sponsorship lying in wait, to be unveiled as soon as the name changes. Everybody knows that "Hull Tigers" will not attract more foreign support. Everybody knows that suggesting Far Eastern football fans will support "Hull Tigers" because they have a "tiger" in their name is patronising, ungracious & somewhat racist. Everybody is well aware that changing the club's name will bring nothing but ridicule to our gates. Everybody knows changing the name will not increase income. Everybody knows that rebranding a business when it's generating more money than at any other time in it's history whilst also in it's most successful period is a ****ing stupid idea.
All that's left is for the last few hangers, who know all of the above, to start to accept it. There's no need to worry about what you value most, you can still have your Premier League as Hull City AFC, nickname The Tigers.

And yet you voted Yes to Hull Tigers in the poll???
So you're sticking to the name calling and online ranting rather than doing anything?
Oh I'm sure you're already firing up the angry emails to the FA but are any of you actually prepared to do something tangible and real such as boycotting or buying?
No?
bunch of jokers.
so ****ing what if he went back on his word...
all of you should stop being so petty.
In the grand scheme of things, it means **** all..
if it bothers you THAT much...
BOYCOTTT games!
After 170+ entries (as I type), it looks like this thread will run and run ... again. No one is going to persuade anyone else to change their views and the petty posturing and childish offers to fisticuffs behind the bike sheds are laughable, if they weren't downright inexcusable! No matter what anyone says on here, if an application (new or otherwise) or a letter of intent has been submitted, then that's done.
People on here may email or lobby or tweet the FA - that is fine. Some may lobby against or some may lobby in favour - again that's fine. There are those who take great delight in fanning the flames of rancour; maybe they get a kick out of it but reading page after page of the same stuff is like Groundhog Day.
I am not belittling the subject but I am just sick of all the drivel I am reading. Maybe you think this is even greater drivel; maybe it is. So today, an application has been made. There may several weeks before anyone gets a definitive answer. In the meantime, can we call a moratorium on the subject?

Not while Lambrettaman is a mod!
I liked you more when you'd stormed off...

Oh and if your comment about fisticuffs refers to me, I haven't suggested any such thing. I just think calling someone a bastard should be done face to face rather than on a message board .
I presume he's pm'd you when and where for your meet at Linnets?![]()
