    Imagine this happened to our club. How would you react?

    http://www.hullcitytigers.com/news/article/1415-new-crest-1650722.aspx

    The owner has so much contempt for the fans there isn't any reference to the clubs name in this article. This was the end result from an owner who supposedly consulted with "the club's" fans.

    Cardiff Dragons anyone?

    Good luck to Hull City fans. <ok>

    we deserve whats happened because on the whole, the majority of fans have accepted and even supported tans decisions. as for me personally, i've not got the time or desire to engage in the sort of behaviour which would lead to the club changing back to the previous brand, i.e. protesting, boycotting the team.

    the biggest thing for us is that now that we're relegated and tan, to the best of my knowledge, hasn't cleared the debt as he promised he would, the fans who accepted selling out for PL football, will turn on him.

    as for hull, worse things have happened to football clubs, its a ploy by the owner to bridge the gap between hull city afc and his new rebranded hull tigers. i'd rather cardiff dragons with a bluebird badge and blue kit tbh&#8230;&#8230;.<ok>

    lets be honest lads......the fans are the last people who the owners or players care about, and that's not just hull or us or Chelsea that's every fking club who plays in todays game at a certain level......the gravy train keeps rolling on but the fans are being left at the station.

    Can someone define sold out, seriously. I hear it all the time and it is bollocks. How can you say a fan has sold his soul, sold out or any other spurious description that is associated to the aforementioned.
    If they still put their hand in their pocket to support the team from the terraces is that selling out? The anti-rebrand brigade, do they still attend matches at the CCS? If yes, then have they also sold their soul?

    Back on topic, I thought the FA threw out the name change, has something happened recently? I can't access the link as the Thai authorities has it on their banned list.

    your fking right there butty......most of the boys who were regulars have made way for this new fan base that came about with some success..........I didn't set foot in the ground last season and I didn't miss the game one bit...the part I do miss are the boys who ive socialised with for twenty years but im sure we will get 2 the odd game next season where we will have a few beers before during and after the game. <wink>

    selling your soul is something that happens when you want more than you can afford, and yes if the only way 2 get it is by going against your usual moral beliefs then I`d call that sold out of soul.

    fking crossroads who needs em lol
