Percy of Peckham Eton Mess 15 Dec 13 8.58pm
To be fair, eagles have never had anything to do with Crystal Palace whereas the Glaziers did. I am sure there have never been that many tigers roaming around the City of Hull either. Can't begin to imagine where Malcolm Allison got the association with eagles from or the red and blue strip whereas there is a link to the tigers in terms of Hull's team colours. I really couldn't get too excited about dropping the word City from the club name because at the end of the day I can still call it what I want ...as indeed can the owner. Denial is not just a river in Egypt!

Hull City: FA set to reject name change to Hull Tigers The Football Association has been advised by its membership committee to reject Hull City's application to change their name to Hull Tigers. The club formally applied to rebrand themselves from next season, a move that has upset some supporters. Owner Assem Allam has threatened to sell if he is not allowed to change the 110-year-old name. An FA source told the BBC he would be "astonished" if the FA Council acted against the committee's advice. A final decision on the application will be made by the FA Council at a meeting on 9 April. The Football Supporters' Federation (FSF) has welcomed the decision after submitting evidence to the FA opposing the name change. Kevin Miles, chief executive of the FSF, said: "This is undoubtedly the right decision and credit should go both to the FA and to Hull City fans, who led a tremendous campaign. "The fans' groups and fanzines who came together under the City Till We Die banner have protected their club's heritage and 110-year-old name with great dignity."
