Hull Tigers?

I understood the FA rejected the name change yet the club appear to be ignoring the ruling. I'm not surprise seeing that the FL have renamed them Hull Tigers on their Facebook feed.

Can the FA do anything to stop this erosion of their history?

My share earlier :

"Hull Tigers?

Football League
We are under way at Molineux, where Wolverhampton Wanderers FC play Hull City.

It's also only 30 minutes until Wigan Athletic v Doncaster Rovers Football Club kicks off. We'll provide updates on both games."

Also notice there is no link to Hull Tigers now because that's what they are calling themselves on FB but now it's changed to Hull City the link has gone.

You might if we get bought by Red Bull!

I don't really care about Hull City but the principal of changing its name to suit some idiot owner.

Agree with ellando,but stoopo has apoint.

Leeds United Red Bull? If it meant millions being invested, aiding and abetting our return to our natural home then why not? Will always be Leeds United to me.

It's not going to happen is it? The worst would be the renaming of Elland Road and that still wouldn't stop me referring to it as Elland Road.

And as it stands, two games drawn but unbeaten isn't a great start but it could have been worse. Cautiously optimistic for a good season. I'd like to see Erwin given a chance.

So how about Leeds Lions or something along those lines?

Still happy?

If Huil are allowed to drop city and become Hull Tigers then where could it lead? We'd all end up like RL teams.

"We'd all end up like RL teams."

What is wrong with that?

Just asking....
