Ull Tigers? Maybe not

[Goat]

The FA can confirm its Membership Committee met on Wednesday [12 March] and has made a unanimous recommendation to The FA Council to reject Hull City’s request to change their playing name to Hull Tigers from next season.

The recommendation, which came after consultation with stakeholders within and outside of the game, will be discussed and voted upon at a full FA Council meeting on 9 April 2014.

Hull City are able to make a further submission to The FA Council in view of the written reasons, which they have received, before the 9 April meeting.

A final decision will be made at that meeting. As such, The FA will be making no further comment at this time.

Good, reject it flat or there'll be a right load of daft names knocking about, it's 1 thing to have a nickname but thats all it should be, the next stop after letting them do it will be names of sponsors in team names.
Welcome to the Jacamo Arena for the game between Home & Bargain Tranmere versus Shake 'n' Vac Northampton.

Why should the FA be able to say what name a club can or cannot have?

Seems odd to me, as long as its not offensive or anything it should be down the the club shouldn't it?

Superleague doing it was a bad decision imo, Warrington Wolves ? their fans still call them 'Wire' & Widnes Vikings still call themselves 'Chemics,' Wigan Warriors everyone else still calls either Pie-eaters or arsholes

In a nutshell. If you want to name your own club, go start a new non-league club and raise them through the ranks. Don't s*** on a 100+ year old institution.

Looking forward to doing the preview for this game.

I won't call them Tigers at all, no way.

I can just imagine what names would fit for our lovable neighbours....

Oh I am glad that the age old trivia question remains intact.

Hull City remain the only team in the Football League whose letters can't be coloured in!

Good!!!

A bit of sense from the FA at last

Terrible decision by the FA.

They should force Man U to go back to newton heath and arsenal to go back to dial square, an all if they're going to dictate stuff like that.
