The Allams have done one !

Its not that hard really. It is done for financial reasons, basically any team that does not make a profit for a certain number of years is moved. Some leagues like the MLB do profit sharing so that helps the poorer teams out but they still move sometimes. Also teams here do not pay for their stadiums, the cities do, so there is no real cost to moving. In fact teams use a move to get new stadiums as cities bid for them to move there. Here are all the teams that have moved since 2005 here. The NFL hasnt had a team moved since the late 90's.

MLB

Montreal Expos - Washington Nationals

NBA

Charlotte Hornets - New Orleans Hornets

New Orleans Hornets - Oklahoma then back to New Orleans then renamed New Orleans Pelicans (katrina caused this)

Seattle Supper Sonics - Oklahoma City Thunder

New Jersey Nets - Brooklyn Nets

NHL

Atlanta Thrashers - Winnipege Jets

MLS

SJ Earthquakes - Houston Dynamo

 

I agree with the first part, those things regularly change and that is why the name is the only constant at a football club and should never change. The same goes for the basic colour/kit scheme and the location but even those have been known to change by some looney owners.

 

Will LA ever get an NFL team back Ellwood? When i first started watching it was all Eric Dickerson at the Rams

 

Has Dr Allam divided our fans ? Honest answer please.

 

I agree with you completely, sure this is a negative Sky and their influence?

Clubs have changed owners, no longer owned by local business men, no homegrown players playing for the club. Clubs now have no affinity to their communities, its just a bunch of players from all over the world under a foreign owner, random manager under one name.

The name is the only thinking keeping us from been a franchise, its the only constant in all of this. Its the only thing that keeps us as Hull City AFC, once you change that we are no longer the team we used to be.

 

I dont follow the NFL to closely but it seems that they will sometime soon as they are going to move a team back to LA.

"the Raiders and Rams, along with the San Diego Chargers, are the most viable teams to move to Los Angeles if they can't get their current stadium issues resolved. The Raiders and Chargers can get out of their current leases after the 2013 season, while the Rams can get out of their lease after the 2014 season."

Then don't do it.

It's your opinion and I respect that. It's just that I can't imagine myself thinking the same way. I care about the name, but not that much.

 

Divided? Yes.
Divided in half? No.... those who feel so strong about it that they want to protest are still in the minority.

 

Would the Raiders go back there again? Surely the Rams should go back.

 

Still in amber and black, still The Tigers, still in Hull, still have Hull in the name ...we moved to the KC but still sing that we "make our pilgrimage every Saturday to Boothferry".

 

Dont know. Id think the Raiders should probably move as every team in Oakland has problems drawing fans since it is so close to SF. My guess would be whatever team doesn't get their stadium situation sorted would move.

 

That's not really a good reply now is it. Unless you think dividing us (at all) is a good thing ?

 

You know this how?

Don't believe all who march tomorrow are the only protesters.

 

Maybe you could just find your way,to supporting those that do care about our name ?

 

Well, you can't please all of the people all of the time.

 

So where is this army of protesters hiding then?

 

You're a fantasist.

Just saying.

 

Yes he is.
No doubt Harold Needler did too when he changed the strip to blue and white, but we're still here and the fan's opinions will prevail in the end.

 

Depends what that support involves. I will not argue against you while you protest because I agree with you, but I myself will not protest.
