Hull Tigers

Of the Hull season ticket holders that could be bothered to vote, a very small majority have gone for the name change.

Now, is that because they really like it, or were they cajoled by Mr Allam's views on future season ticket prices?

What surprises me is the low turnout. Was there some kind of boycott of the poll by those opposed to the change?

Hull Tigers...good to see Speedway making a return to The capital of obesity.

Or have Castleford moved to the KC?

I cant believe an ill conceived branding whim can overrule a century of history.

No doubt those who possibly couldn't be bothered to make their feelings known will be those up in arms if it eventually goes through.

Sounds like there were numerous concerns over the security of the voting process plus fear that a "No" vote could impact on getting tickets for the FA Cup semi.

Not to mention the way the possible responses were not a straight yes/no, but were weighted to being a popularity vote for Allam
