Banner in support of No to Hull Tigers campaign ???

[lawros left foot]

Hull City have been known as the Tigers for decades. So they change from Hull City to Hull Tigers what is the big deal ?

And they had those tiger striped shirts a few years back, almost as bad as stripey shorts

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

So by that logic you would be over the moon if a wealthy benefactor renamed our club the Brighton Seagulls?

It is so american.

I would not lose any sleep over it. All I want is for the team to win every game they can.

So if we were renamed the Brighton Seagulls or Brighton Gulls, how would you like it? Just completely unnecessary. I'd just ban foreigners from owning more than 49% of any English club. We just can't resist selling out in this country...

The bloke has lived in Hull for f*cking decades you twerp.

**** em...they're the enemy!

On the give a toss meter it rates a 0.2. Have a look at the World and all the shit that is going on and then be thankful the biggest crisis in your life is that your football team renames itself.

I supported a great team called Brighton Tigers, and very successful they were too, until Brighton council killed them off.

Tony Bloom is a Brighton fan who is from Brighton.......

I don't mind getting behind teams in peril, like a show of support for Plymouth when languishing in the depths of league 2, but a team in the PL in a fantastic stadium with a wealthy chairman? Nah, you're alright.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Maybe the club could play the clip of Gareth Cheeseman screaming at himself in the mirror:

"You're a tiger!"

This it's not our problem attitude is ridiculous.

If people don't make a stand now, where will it stop? It's giving people like this the message that as long you throw some cash at a club it's OK to do whatever you want with it...

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The ONLY thing in life that talks now is money. It has been that way for a while but now money is the boss more than ever and never more so than in Football.

But it kind of is, isn't it? If Bloom wanted to call the Amex the Rent Boy Arena he can, it would be crap and sound rubbish but essentially it's his money that is keeping the club where it is. We can't have it all our own way, I don't agree with the name change at Hull but it isn't our battle.

I agree. If it's important to their fans (and I don't know how annoyed they really are) then we should support them. Football fans against modern insanity is more important than tribal rivalry (or it's not).

 

[Eksman]

I feel quite sorry for them shall we let them win

We are gonna make ourselves the laughing stock with all these bloody love-in's.. it makes me cringe and seeing a banner in the home end about it will make me cringe even more...

Rugby League has done it, Rugby Union has done it and so too cricket. I give it 10 years max before every FL/PL club has done it.

If this owner signed some sort of guarantee that he would continue to fund the club for the next 10 years then maybe but more than likely he will get bored of his new toy and get rid of it, leaving the fans with the cringe American franchise-like name.

Hull Tigers is not an outrageous liberty. They have been the Tigers for 50 years or so. I would be more bothered about how my team was doing on the pitch.

And if he does clear off, which seems unlikely, what's to stop the name changing back?
