Good god almighty, I take it all back, they deserve to be ridiculed by their owners.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Under this way of thinking I could see us being the 'Brighton Sea Hawks'

I need a kick in the goolies....

As I kind like that

Oh I dunno, can't we adopt it? "Shat on by the seagulls! You're getting shat on by the seagulls" complete with arms flapping and a sort of squatting motion to indicate defecation.

No?

They are all having a lot of fun - what is awful about that ?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

What a load of bollocks, I can't believe they are all willing to make themselves look like a such bunch of fannies. They deserve the shitty name change just for that. Have some self respect you ****wits even the Always Ultras aren't THAT tinpot!!

Agreed. I have to say, I'd prefer to be palace than that lot.

So the owner of Hull has now applied formally to the FA to change the name to Hull Tigers!!!! He doesn't seem to care about the history of the club. May be he should just move the franchise to Asia

I understand he is thinking more of Cairo as a suitable location.

I'm very amused by the fact the owner has said that if he was owner of Manchester City, he would change the name to Manchester Hunter.




WTF!

 

[worthingseagull123]

The only time i think a name change is acceptable is instances like Swansea when they went from Town to City when they got City Status. Although they could have kept Town as their name.

Isnt Ipswich a city? But they have kept Town. I don't know.

Although he is Egyptian I believe he has lived in the area and been part of Hull City AFC for a long time. Not a JCL owner.

That said I think the name change is a poor idea.

Surely if this is the case they should simply be called 'Hull' and win the Premier League.

A rose by any other name will still smell as sweet

or as Shakespeare actually said

Hull by any other name will still play as shit.

Cant see the FA allowing it, but I can seriously see the owner pulling out of the club if it isnt approved - much like a spoilt little child that cant get his own way.

What reasons are the FA entitled to use to reject a new name?

hull city tigers will be the new name officially adopted by the club in the premier league.

Owners assem and ehab allam have confirmed their intention to re-brand hull city by dropping the 'afc' and putting the emphasis on 'tigers'.

They said one of the reasons for the change is to give the club a stronger "brand identity" on the international stage.

"hull city is irrelevant," he said.

"my dislike for the work 'city' is because it is common.

"city is also associated with leicester, bristol, manchester and many other clubs.

"in the commercial world, the shorter the name, the better. The more it can spread quickly.

"it is about identity. City is a lousy identity. Hull city association football club is so long."

the confirmation comes after weeks of speculation following increased club use of an amended badge without 'afc' on the logo.

foreign owners , enough said

Reminds me a bit of the SANZAR Rugby Union comp (the modestly branded Super XV) where they have dispensed with the city or town names in their branding. So locals and rugby nerds will know here the Bulls, Stormers or Chiefs come from, nobody else has a clue! I am not sure why its done that way.

How long will it be before a club owner in the ever increasing chase for money, sells off a clubs naming rights. American Express City ?. Far fetched, maybe not.They used to stand on the terraces of Llansantffraid & sing, were the famous Total Network Solutions & gonna win the league.

TNS don't even play in the same country any more. And I don't think there were EVER terraces at the ground when it was in Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain, just seats and a standing area behind a fence.

Their official name is now The New Saints of Oswestry Town & Llansantffraid Football Club / Clwb Pêl-droed y Seintiau Newydd.

The F.A. will do what they always do-F.A.

I see Hull Tigers are playing Stoke CITY this weekend. Or are they now the Stoke POTTERS? The world market just loves pottery.
