In such a short piece they still got Hull City Tigers in 4 times. But it's not a policy or anything. The ****s.
I think we are all accustomed to this nonsense, well most of us on here; just the few who support it and nitpick to create argument. Really sad folk them posters, what they get from it I've no idea.
Maybe I am reading between the lines and getting it wrong, apologies if that's the case but there could be a dig in there at those who highlight the constant use of Hull City Tigers by the club. We are all accustomed to it and expect it but what has changed is the clubs representative at the supporters meeting claiming it's not a policy of the club, if that's the case it will be easy to resolve by a simple memo to staff from the top. Job sorted a win all round and one less thing to discuss at the next meeting apart from a brief thank you from the supporters side of the table. I don't expect to see the club using the name Hull city any time soon.
I suggest at the next meeting the group say to the club's reps that all fans now like the name Hull City Tigers and hope the club can adopt it's use at every opportunity.
The use of Hull City Tigers as the business name, is what it is, the commercial name for the club, right or wrong and in recruiting adverts, I accept its use, but Hull City Tigers Football Club, is wrong and should be addressed.
I think you're digging too deep between the lines there, Balkan! Easy done though, no problem. My comment was aimed at those who post on here and find excuses for this protracted nonsense from the Allams. There is no sense in their oft repeated arguments, so I can only take them at face value, as argument for argument's sake. And that is just as sad as the actions of the Allams.
As I say, the club will love to run down the clock discussing the trivia of faulty PA system and Walton St Car Park access etc. They need to identify the big 2 or 3 topics, and prepare the attack well, anticipating the holding responses, the delaying tactics, the denials, etc. Come prepared with evidence, documents, proof and present it face to face. It;s pointless trading opinions. They are like arseholes - everyone has one. Frame the questions rigidly and with no escape route. Bring the matchday programme in as evidence of non use of Hull City. Print out the statement from Assem Allam when he stated the name was not on the badge because he was 'unsure what our name would be next season' about 3 years ago. Ask when will be be sure? In short, do your homework and present your evidence.
HCST Review of Supporters’ Committee As we have reported, on Wednesday 26th April Geoff Bielby represented the Hull City Supporters’ Trust at the newly formed Supporters’ Committee. The minutes produced by Hull City can be found on this link. Here’s our feedback on the evening: Firstly, we can understand why the new committee was met with scepticism by some supporters who believed this would be nothing more than a box ticking exercise by the club. However, given this was the first opportunity to form meaningful dialogue between fans and senior officials for some years, the Trust decided to embrace it as a positive step forward. HCST do not know how applicants from each stand were selected, but we can confirm there were 167 people who offered to give up their free time to help their club, of which 8 were carefully selected by the club. This ‘lucky’ 8 then joined one representative from the HCST, the Senior Tigers, HCOSC & a representative from the Electric Eels. The Trust was aware that many people would have wanted specific topics raised, but given the meeting was only scheduled for 90 minutes, we felt going with a long list of questions was not ideal for the first meeting. Everyone is painfully aware of the several main issues needed to be addressed by the club, and consequently this was a common view held by all supporters that attended. Whilst many issues were discussed which can be read about in the minutes (linked above), HCST believe the club was left in no doubt that the following are the key issues that need addressing promptly: Concession ticketing needs reintroducing for children, seniors and disabled supporters in all areas of the ground. HCST has been in contact with the Premier League over this and will be following it up in the coming weeks with both the Premier League and EFL. Fans need to stop being moved around without consultation. The closure of the West Upper Stand from the start of next season means that yet more supporters will be unsettled. The West Upper will still be open for matchday sales next season making seat moves harder to take for some, especially considering that individuals’ specific seats will be on sale on a match-by-match basis, meaning there is no guarantee it could be reserved for each match. The use of the club’s name in statements, social media, advertisements and all correspondence. HCST are glad to hear that it is not a policy of the club to avoid the use of the term ‘Hull City’. However, we are therefore confused why the last three years has seen the use of our official name almost disappear from nearly every aspect of the club’s corporate and professional existence. Linking with the above point, it was brought to the attention of the club that the badge, which many view as a symbol of pride, does not have our name on. It’s reintroduction to the badge would be much welcome and also boost merchandise sales. In summary, many important points that have been an issue for the last few years were identified to the club’s senior management. How successful this new fan dialogue via the supporters’ committee is depends wholly on the actions the club takes. If they are taking it seriously then we expect simple changes to have been made regarding the above points before the next meeting in three months’ time. Over to you Hull City… http://hullcitysupporterstrust.com/hcst-review-of-supporters-committee/
I'm more than a little surprised that HCST have done their own review, and managed not to be outraged about the lack of reporting in the minutes of the vitriol thrown at the Allams. Or in fact no mention of it at all. In the minutes or the review. Strange.
The business name of the club is Hull City Tigers Limited, I don't recall that been used too often. Of course 'some' would claim it's been that name since 1904. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Correct, it used to be Rungames Limited ( 12th July 2000-12th March 2001), and then it was shortened to Hull City Association Football Club (Tigers) Limited (12th March 2001-5th March 2013). The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Quite. Just back from Dexters Alehouse Ltd Corn Exchange franchise where I partook of some Interbrew International BV product. I'd asked for Stella but the landlord had left the taps blank as he wasn't sure what they were going to be called.
"TR felt that City of Culture haven’t been proactive with wanting to engage with the Club, not since he joined the Club in Mid-October at least. There had been previous discussions but nothing came to fruition. JC added that the City of Culture is a brand/ license and that the Club would have to go through certain procedures to use the name and branding in any activity. He suggested a similar experience regarding City of Culture with Hull KR. There was also mention of a license fee that would have to be paid for use of City of Culture branding." So basically, where there isn't a will there isn't a way ? This stalling, 'can't do' response sums up the club these days. Why don't they make the first move? Why don't they find a way round the license (or licence as we say in this country) ? Answer: because they don't want to, but won't say so in public.
