054123 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Just reading their forum and the associated news report, i don't think they're that opposed to Hull City Tigers, but globally the owners want the club to be known as Hull Tigers and as they all rightly point out, it's the thin end of the wedge.

East Yorkshire CideRed Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 The 'Ull fans in my office are actually quite indifferent to the whole thing. Some of them think it's quite a good thing. They don't have to change their strip; they're commonly referred to as "Tigers" anyway; plus they think it might pull investment and fans from other countries where Tigers are seen as lucky. The owner's comments are a little odd about "city" being common, but on the whole they seem to be quite happy. Like us, Hull fans round here get called "City Fans" and they mostly refer to the club as "City" to avoid confusion with the two Rugby sides "FC" and "Hull KR" (who are also known as The Robins!). They still get to keep the City part of their name. It would only be when marketing the club abroad where the "City" part wouldn't be mentioned. Personally, I wouldn't want Steve Lansdown to start mucking about with our name, but I guess in Hull's case it isn't going to do them any harm.

YGBjammy Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 The thing is, when you change the name everyone just calls it what they've always called it. Pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 If some foreign investors promised to spend enough to get us promoted to the prem and we knew for fact that we would achieve it within 2 years, would you accept this in return for our name being changed to "Bristol City Robins"? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Why don't we be a bit revolutionary and get rid of the club name altogether? We could replace it with an unpronounceable symbol like Prince (the musician not Harry or William). Then we would be know as "the football club previously known as Bristol City" On second thoughts, it's not the sort of snappy names the marketing bods like.
