    I represent a community group started by supporters of Hull City AFC called City Till We Die, named after one of our regular songs. No To Hull Tigers is the slogan of our current campaign.

    Our current owner Dr Assem Allam has put in an application to the FA to change our name from Hull City to Hull Tigers because he thinks City is a “lousy identity”, “irrelevant” and “common”. A number of fan groups have united to oppose the proposed name change.

    As part of the campaign we sing “City Till I Die” at 19 minutes 4 seconds into our matches. 19:04 was chosen because Hull City AFC was formed in 1904.

    You may have seen reports of our campaign which we are now taking to the FA. Tomorrow is our first match since the announcement and may be a tad lively.

    I hope your supporters will show our campaign some respect tomorrow at 19 minutes 4 seconds. As we are both called City it would be appreciated if you would consider joining us to show to the world that some things unite all football fans, one of which is the name of our club.

    Sorry for the short notice, hope you understand.

    Thank you.
