Hull City Owners Wants To Re-Name Club

Re: O/T Hull City Owners Wants To Re-Name Club

A Premier League spokesman told Sportsmail: 'We have not been informed of a change in the name of the actual club, it is the company name that has changed. They will still be known as Hull City as far as the Premier League is concerned when results or fixtures are published. We understand the move is more to do with their international reputation.

'If any club wanted to change the club name we would talk to them and see what processes of consultation [with supporters] they had gone through.'

Yep. Naming rights on stadiums, Wimbledon becoming Milton Keynes Dons, teams from domestic leagues (not just ours) fielding teams with players not of that country. Even our Chairman wanted to uproot us to Stratford. I feel football is reaching it's commercial money making zenith, and then it is going to implode massively as older fans turn their backs and less and less younger fans following football (which is already happening).

As I always said during the Stratford thing, it's like Trigges broom in only fools and horses.

Trigger: And that's what I've done. Maintained it for 20 years. This old brooms had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in its time.
Sid: How the hell can it be the same bloody broom then?
Trigger: Theres the picture. What more proof do you need?


If you change the clubs name, change the stadium, and then change the kit would it be the same club?

I'd say not.
 
Re: O/T Hull City Owners Wants To Re-Name Club

"I read a bit about Hull City's name change," Tan said at media conference for his 'Thanks a Million' initiative', which has seen Cardiff donate £1m to local charities.

"They [Hull] are back in the Premier League and I admire their owner Assem Allam for what he has done," he said.

"One thing I read that I liked is he says there are so many teams with the name city.

"There is Hull City, Leicester City, Cardiff City, Bristol City - everyone is called City. Who doesn't know Cardiff is a city? Who doesn't know Hull is a city?

"I think his strategy is good, but I'm not saying we are making any similar changes. I don't want nasty e-mails written to me tomorrow, but I always say 'never say never'. But we are definitely not changing anything now."

Cardiff Dragons? Should be highly marketable in South East Asia.
 
Spurs v Hull City (twice) - City Till I Die - No to Hull Tigers campaign song

I represent a community group started by supporters of Hull City AFC called City Till We Die, named after one of our regular songs. No To Hull Tigers is the slogan of our current campaign.

Our current owner Dr Assem Allam wants to change our name from Hull City AFC to Hull Tigers because he thinks City is a “lousy identity”, “irrelevant” and “common”. A number of fan groups have united to oppose the proposed name change.

As part of the campaign we sing “City Till I Die” at 19 minutes 4 seconds into our matches. 19:04 was chosen because Hull City AFC was formed in 1904.

During our two matches over the coming week it would be appreciated if you would give us a little respect at 19 minutes.

Full details of our campaign can be found at:

You could also lose both games 19-4. Would be great publicity.

You are doing the right thing. The soul of football is being destroyed through over commercialisation. This is just another symptom.
 
Re: Spurs v Hull City (twice) - City Till I Die - No to Hull Tigers campaign song

You will always be Hull City to me. Cant be doing with these name changes

A part of me died inside when Warrington RLFC became Warrington Wolves, like many other fans I could not take to singing any songs with name Wolves in it, they will also be just Warrington to me (or Wires)

Good luck. I'd be ****ing livid if an owner tried to do something like that to us.
 
Re: Spurs v Hull City (twice) - City Till I Die - No to Hull Tigers campaign song

Would you object to being renamed Hull Kitty
 
Re: Spurs v Hull City (twice) - City Till I Die - No to Hull Tigers campaign song

Talking about names, it is surprising to see some non-football fans still get confused about our name. They tend to think Tottenham and Spurs are 2 different clubs.:lol: In fact, I had the same problem when I was a young boy just starting to like this club. Who can blame them when our nickname is more popular than our actual name. Maybe we should change our name to Tottenham Spurs. Afterall no one ever call us Hotspur. It is either Tottenham or Spurs.:p

OP - out of curiosity, how low long has tigers been on the badge? And what do you think about it?
