What a shame.. Bye Bye Allam!

The club is refusing to comment until after the weekend. Good thing for the team as it won't create any distractions. Can't help but feel that we will get some fireworks off the Allams next week though.

Allam going to appeal apparently

He can't appeal but can re-apply next year

Hull City owners cannot appeal the @FA decision but can re-apply next year. #hcafc

Someone needs to the inform the mad pharaoh then

will he still be there next year,he did say he would sell city if he didn`t get his way.??

he can go to arbitration (CAS), which is a kind of appeal.

he did, now he seems to be saying that as he 'won' his fan-vote he's stopping...

tomorrow is another day though, and he'll no doubt have another madcap scheme lined-up, like moving City to the Dutch league instead because they like Orange

He's still staying he will walk if the change isn't approved. But the fact that he can try again gives him a great way to save face. "I will reapply for the name change next year, but if it doesn't work then I will definitely leave."

Perhaps walking to Melton where he can build a new complex and stadium allowing all fans enjoy football at £10 per ticket?

He's running round in circles!

Season passes rise by 50% dont they

It was increased to 100 tickets today - and staff have to personally email the Allam family at the request of Cllr Brady to say thank you after the game. The pursuit of the stadium has begun.

1000's of tickets unsold then presumably

Good appraisal of the CTWD campaign on Amber Nectar. www.ambernectar.org/phpBB3/viewt ... start=3517 The embarrassing reluctance of local media to apply the same level of challenge and scrutiny to the Allams as they have done to CTWD is well articulated.

Old ground but



Now, its clearly shown on Sky Sports news that in an interview with Allam, he never goes back on a decision and without any question states he would walk away from Hull City if the name change was rejected.

He may have been a successful business man (with [iallegedly[/i some questionable ethics) but he really need advice on his media image. There maybe other instances of this, but he threatened to take Hull City to Melton. That never happened! He stated he would walk away if the name change was not approved. Now he is changing the goal posts!!! The Media will be all over this.



A Little like the blokes maths. How can there be a silent majority?



Hull City's average home gate will be around 23000, so there will be 21000 home fans in regular attendance. on just over 15k were invited to vote of which only just over 5000 bothered to of which about half wanted to name change!!!

Majority my arris



Personally I want Allam to stay, he is far more entertaining. The back tracking he is doing could make a sitcom!

I think this is gunna get messy.
The rule states that a club or player cannot take the FA (A FIFA member) to court but surely the opposite precedent was set when Bosman took FIFA to court?
The FA have said no but surely they have already set their own precedent on that as well when they allowed a professional club to change it's name AND it's location without making them start from the bottom of the pyramid.

I imagine a good lawyer would have fun with that.

Not quite fact, but clearly an interpretation everyone was expecting.

Spot on. They've not covered themselves in glory regarding their coverage. The national media have been much better whether they've been pro name change or against it.

wonder if the "no to hull tigers" season pass holders

will get fa cup final tickets should city beat sheffield united this weekend

It's not an excuse, but the national media are more powerful and less reliant on/don't have the personal relationships/goodwill that local media does.

When all this has blown over, public admiration for journalistic integrity won't pay the bills if somebody else, who played along, is getting all the juicy exclusives.

I agree with you. I don't like it but I imagine that's exactly why they've taken the stance they have.
