This is what will bring in money - both from sponsors and spectators: Cup performance - http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull...e-cash-Steve/story-20699899-detail/story.html and PL ferformance - http://www.hullcitytigers.com//news/article/201314-newcastle-h-sold-out-1382712.aspx? NOT THE STUPID NAME CHANGE......
when we win the FA cup in a few months by defeating Man City at Wembley, will we have Hull City or Hull Tigers written on it?
It doesn't matter when the final is, we are currently called Hull City and will remain so for this season. And next.
Aren't you ****ing dense. Do you ever read anything about the subjects before posting your banal comments?

I'll admit I haven't read all 106 pages of this thread, being new here, but this is key for me. When I've visited football mad countries in Asia like Thailand, Malaysia, China, Korea you see kids walking around in Man U and Chelsea shirts aren't wearing them in the because they like the name it's because they want to be associated with the success of those teams (same as loads of kids in the UK). If we want to have a million plastic fans in Asia we need to win a few titles and a couple of Champions leagues not change the name. Someone a couple of pages above also mentioned the level of debt. Yes the Allams have leant the club a lot of money but at some point someone needs to pay all those millions back. This is not a Jack Walker giving the club money each and every time they're loans at 5%. I personally think the biggest problem is Allam doesn't realise a football club is more than just a business....renaming Tempest Diesel Limited to Allam Marine didn't alienate the customer base but Allam Tigers might not go down so with the supports of Hull City AFC.
He also puts to much emphasis on the Tiger being the nation's emblem. But, these countries where the Tiger is the national emblem. don't care about football. India- cricket will never be matched. Bangladesh- same. Singapore- other sports dominate.
Exactly. Here in Sweden the national emblem is a Lion but guess how many Milwall shirts you see walking around Stockholm (o: The kids are all wearing Madrid shirts with Roaldo hair cuts.....
Nice article on Palace fans' site: http://theeaglesbeak.com/2014/02/1802-beyond-touchline-hull-tigers/? Cheers.
Yet they're quite happy about the change of the name of the region... They then compare the situation to Wimbledon. Brilliant. I'd be more impressed if they called on their players to stop being such a dirty bunch of cheating diving ****s tbh seeing as they do more damage to the game than our simple name change will.
