nobody is scared of change, you're simply too stupid to understand why this change was a bad idea.

my point is that we will never know!

you seriously don't get it do you?
it could have been better!
it could have secured us a lucrative deal.
but now we will never know will we?

but of course, I'm too stupid because I want this city out of the dark ages.
<doh>
 
we will never know.
I guess change scares some people.
don't worry, the world is still flat.. don't let them fancy moving pictures on that tele-box try to convince you!

Considering they never proved the worth of the name change, no wonder everybody, who didn't have their heads up Allam's arse, saw through it.
 
So you didn't use a name which is a dish associated with Hull? Patty wasn't a spelling mistake it is your name. So why add Chips? Is it the name of your special friend and partner? Or maybe a homage to the California Highway Patrol? Or maybe the TV programme about them with all those handsome chaps in their tight fitting uniforms and their throbbing machines?

AGAIN!

I ask you why I have to explain my name to you!
Why are you named after a pine box that is either buried or burnt?
hmm?
 
This is nearly as boring as the chants city till I die and we say no Allam on 19 :24 seconds because you half wits in e3 can't tell the time !
 
Am I stuck in some sort of fuc king timewarp? Why do the same idiots post the same ****e day after day when the answers have been given to them time and time again? Can we not just ban the cu nts?

My opinion is that the FA would have rejected the name change with or without CTWD.
So those who seem to blame CTWD for the fa saying no are deluded.
And what, in holy f**k's name, do you base that on?

Because the FA were against it all along.

There's something wrong at the FA if a group of under 2,000 can tell them what to do .

I'll stick with what I said that in my opinion the FA would have said no, no matter what .

I don't see that as having a pop at anyone either

You're obsessed with the 2,000, the FA weren't concerned by only the members of CTWD, they received over 10,000 postcards/letters/emails, they were contacted by every football supporters trust in the country, the campaign was endorsed by fan groups from every single league club in England(other than MK Dons) and they received a petition with 16,000 names on it.

In addition, every FA Council member got a copy of the CTWD submission and video and the campaign was supported by all the leading sports journalists in the country.

You are massively underestimating how much impact this campaign has had.

You stupid cretin. Nobody wants this city in the dark ages. You only need to see how we have all embraced the City of Culture title and the Siemens deal to know that your final statement is bollocks. This 'change' was unnecessary and based purely on the him of a mad old fool who has had a fall out with the council. It was laughable to genuinely believe that it would work. Hull Tigers or Real Madrid and Chelsea? A no brainer really. So you can forgive people for wanting to prohibit the change.

Why make the effort to even respond. He's proved time and again he is totally ******ed and unable to grasp things hence why every thread turns into the same monotonous bollocks everytime.
 
I call change - progress!
dont you?

No.

Change can be good or bad.

Progress can only be positive.

Your fundamental failure to comprehend this basic meaning is typical of the dumb cumguzzlers who would sell their souls for any old crap some embittered maverick sells them.

Don't you think the FA would have said NO to the name change what ever CTWD or AA said.

I think they would have NO no matter what.

Maybe I am wrong.

You may be right Filey.

But given the horrid amount of apathy amongst some City (Hull Tigers?) supporters, and given that despite the massive amount of work and excellent presentation of CTWD a fair proportion of the FA council sided with Allam's bonkers idea, then if CTWD had not collectively put their heads above the parapet I suspect this all would have been nodded through.

We'll never know for sure, but I and many others are eternally grateful for the efforts of those who started CTWD.
 
Patty, PLT is correct, but the club can make it very difficult for any broadcaster if they wish to. They tend not to with commercial broadcasters (ITV, SKY) due to advertising revenue and contractual issues. With the BBC as a public service broadcaster it works slightly differently (passim Fergie, Pearson and others!). In other words, the BBC wouldn't be stopped from covering the games, but they could stop Brucie or the players doing the afters with either BBC LR or even MOTD.

Aside from the fact that the contract now says they have to provide certain people to do interviews. (There was a big fuss about how SAF was going to have to start giving MOTD interviews again after boycotting the BBC over the allegations they made about his son being a crooked agent)

If there was no big public opposition to it, why would they have wanted to?
