Given that they're a club that sings that god-awful "you're getting mauled by the Tigers" song (complete with hand actions) I don't think that they should be worried about this making them a laughing stock.
The Crystal Eagles would be bizarre, since it splits Crystal Palace, but I've seen us...
I appreciate the difference, but can I ask why it is dreaded? What substantial difference do you see from this change? Hull are already usually referred to as either Hull, Hull City or The Tigers. I suspect they will continue to be referred to as Hull, Hull City or The Tigers.
Is it really...
Ah I see. So once again, everything Brighton have ever done is perfect and rational, but other clubs have erred again and again.
Silly me, I should have known. It's always the answer on NSC :)
The general consensus eh? I best shut up then. No place on a message board for a view which challenges the general consensus. Because if there's one thing I've learnt from looking at NSC, it's that the general consensus has never yet turned out to be wrong.
Truly it must be difficult for a man of your dizzying intellect to engage with mere mortals such as myself. I can only apologise for not being able to engage at your level.
I agree with you that we haven't changed our names. I'm not overlooking that point, but I'm asking why that is substantially different to the changes we have made. Our badges for example, surely as much a part of the history of our clubs, as well as our nicknames. Why is HCAFC becoming HCTFC any...
It's not a misuse of the word, since I've explained that I see focusing on the Tigers as a commercial change, and both of our clubs have made changes to our clubs in the past for commercial reasons. I have never claimed the changes were identical, merely comparable. Therefore for us, supporters...
I'm not overlooking it, I'm just saying its not that different. Why is the end of the club name particularly more sacred than the badge say, or the shirt? Hull City will still be Hull City. We've both made commercial decisions that have changed our clubs, so I don't see that we're in any...
Big Mal I think. Seagulls was a response to us, but the earlier Dolphins bloody wasn't.
If the Hull fans aren't happy then of course the club should listen to them, it's just that I don't think either of our clubs are in a position to mock. We've both made changes to our clubs for commercial...
It's not really that different, or that big a deal, is it? Both of our clubs chose to rebrand and focus on a nickname for commercial reasons. Hull are now doing the same.
Honestly, who cares? If they want to promote the Tiger thing let them. This santaminious "I cannot believe it" bollocks...
