    Claimed sponsors were lining up at the big breakfast Allam threw today, then mentioned no names and the only people to be interviewed at the KC were two City board members :emoticon-0114-dull:

    Anyone else get the feeling the Beeb don't want to upset the Allams too much? ITV's Calendar don't seem to be too worried.

    That's because we barely get a mention on Calendar. We get tagged on at the end and only after all the other clubs in the area have been enthused over.

    On the eve of a massive game our press day is given over to this nonsense.
    I have nothing against any of the four people featured or the Allams but gentlemen if you all think renaming us Hull Tigers is going to bring in millions of pounds of extra sponsorship can you at least tell us how and where from before you expect us to vote away 110 years of history and tradition?
    Also may I suggest you concentrate your efforts on building up your fans base in Hull and the East Riding before wanting to conquer the Far East?
    Have these four 'sponsors' ever been in the club shop for example ?

    City held a breakfast meeting for sponsors and directors this morning, they invited Look North along to film it and claimed sponsors were going to speak out in favour.

    Then all we got was a mate of Ehab's who isn't even a sponsor and now the ballot announcement's been cancelled.

    All this the day before a big game. <doh>

    Oh my god, this is a disaster, this will have a massive negative effect on the players and Brucie ahead of the game tomorrow.

    Wait a sec, no it won't. Stop being so hysterical all the time ffs.

    I should imagine all those investors that are phoning Ehab up will be delighted to see such slick professionalism from the owners of the club.

    So the ballot is now off? Or at least delayed?

    And there are no sponsors in favour after the brekkie?

    Sounds like 2 big gambles have resulted in 2 more rather large bullet sized holes in the Allam foot.

    I'd like to see AA in front of the dragons

    So Dr Allam you'd like us to invest or sponsor your club, can you remind us what it's called??

    AA we haven't decided yet

    Ok so you want us to invest in something that you don't know the name of and you've upset a big proportion of your customers?

    AA no no you carnt question me

    I'm out, we are all out :)

    That could be a clue. Kellogs Frosties were on board until Mr Allam pointed out that "Egg" is shorter, so they should change their name.

    I just hope it's all above board, and no one ends up doing porridge.

    I reckon all this bollox about the name change for sponsorship and income is total crap.

    Everton have just announced new deal with chang beer worth 16mil think its over 4 years, no company is gonna pay that to us regardless of been called City, Hull tigers of ****ing hull town panthers.
