I got bored of writing i'm trying to have a siesta. Embrace it, try to be united behind someone that I think has the right to do what he wants to do especially after he spent the money he has done. ITS A BUSINESS, if you bought a local business and spent millions on it but you couldn't re-brand it because the loyal customers would be upset even though it was losing money and was in millions of debt....Of course not keep the name.

So true. It is the 21st century and sadly football is all about money now.

If you dont like the business then stay away. Sadly it is as simple as that.

The FA have long since let the supporters down. From allowing the PL to start up right upto the way the FA Cup has been handled.

FA = FA. So dont expect any favours from them. Money talks nowadays and it has to.

it is unfortunate, but money over-rides emotion on any day of the week.

Spot on. ^^^^ this. 109 years of Hull City AFC has seen more bad years than good. Some bloody awful.

If it has to be Hull Tigers and PL then so be it. As you say, the doubters need to embrace it or move on.

If Sally was related to someone who had been in the council would those who disqualify Prescotts views as invalid(I would agree with you)also say the same about her Views.She may not be thus related but supposing she were?

Great post.The only constant is change-they need to get over it or make way for the future

Very sad of course, but her argument to maintain the name is void of any real substantial reason.

Its a name yes, but its a business, Football has gone down this route for years now the moment sky got involved and the Premier League was born. This is not simply a tradition any more like it may have done. If you don't like this route then paying for away tickets to Man City for over 60 euros is hypocrisy. We drive the direction of football with our wallets, if you want the best you need to have the dollar. If you don't then its the doldrums. I've supported City since 1990 and I went to watch them on my own with another 2,500 people. If someone asked me then would i want the team to be in the top tier in the top half of the old division one by just changing the name, I would have taken it hands down instead of the crap we had to watch.

Teams of our size need something different to stand out from all the other teams, no one where I live in Spain have heard of Hull, but guess what, they know the tigers. Cardiff, Palace, swansea (even though they played here against Valencia) No clue, and before you say it wasn't through negative press. There is ONE city here and thats Manchester. They are referred to as nicknames. We have to stop being so traditional and attempt to embrace this.

I for one would love Hull to remain Hull City AFC, however, to maintain this status and for growth who am I to argue against one of the most successful business men in England.

Mr Allam: "In a few years many clubs will follow and change their names to something more interesting and I will have proved I am a leader – remember this discussion," Allam predicted. "City, Town, County: these are meaningless."

If the smaller clubs do as Allam has predicted in the end there'll be no benefit. Hull Tigers will be cancelled out by Norwich Predators.

Unfortunately Prescott's views are only invalid because he doesn't support CTWD.
If he had come out supporting them then his views would be shouted from the rooftops.

Maybe, however no one else is and if that does happen we can change it back and be a 'traditional' club again.

Was the person interviewed related to people on the council?Does anyone know?Did they make it clear before being broadcast?
If the person was it will greatly damage the credibility of one side of the name change debate

A woman rings a local radio station and makes a very personal and emotional case for keeping a clubs historic name and you think she might be a council stooge?

You're sir, are not right in the head.
