I heard the official poll questions were along the lines of
Hull Tigers with the the Alam Families leading the club
or
No to Hull Tigers
Right out of the Putin book of referendums. Pretty meaningless anyway as he's only conducted this in the hope it might swing it with the FA. For once the FA need to show some common sense. [Post edited 8 Apr 2014 8:06]

Amazing poll.
I think we should be able to vote on the latin script under our new club badge.
My vote goes to
num sub convallis = eternal under achievers
over
XL annorum, de hoc tantum cruenta = 40 bloody years of this so far. |  |

That's it! I was going to think of my own and go to Google Translate, but there's no bettering that. |  |

'et gloriam spei per experientiam' or 'the triumph of hope over experience' which fits well with St Jude being the saint of lost causes |  | | |

Allam has put a gun to the head of the fans by threatening a fifty percent increase in season ticket prices if the name change does not go through:

The majority of fans know the poll is a sham and haven't voted, and I doubt if anyone who has voted for the change actually wants it.
This is a crude example of how democracy is completely meaningless within capitalist society when the rich control the purse-strings, and the 'voters' are simply asked to approve the decisions of the rich. |  |

A bit like dear Ken Livingston making himself out to be a man of the people by giving them referendums in London and not under any legal obligation to act out the results, which he didn't do anyway. [Post edited 8 Apr 2014 13:09]

I must have missed an ulterior motive here. Did they really threaten to put the ticket prices up?
Maybe that's the motive. Drum up sufficient opposition to justify a 50% price increase.
People running football clubs do new ways of stupid every day, and these clowns are no exception.
Why Tigers, though? They're already known as the Tigers anyway. Why not something more imaginative like Bacteria.
Football is so easy that they have time to waste on this rubbish? | | | |

We're not going down the RL route where every side has a f*cking nickname?
So the South Africa connection would earn us Queen's Park Wildebeests?

Hull City's proposed name change to Hull Tigers has been rejected by the Football Association Council.
The Council's decision - carried by a 63.5% vote of its members - followed the recommendation of the governing body's membership committee.
Fans' group City Till We Die said it was "delighted" with the decision.
Hull history
Formed in 1904, they first wore black and amber shirts for their maiden Football League campaign the following year. They moved to present ground, shared with Hull FC rugby league club, in 2002, after 56 years at Boothferry Park.
Owner Assem Allam, 74, who has threatened to sell if he is not allowed to change the 110-year-old name, says he will appeal against the decision.
"If it had been the other way round, if the FA had approved it but the fans had said no, I would have severed my ties with the club immediately," Allam, who took charge of the club in in December 2010, told BBC Sport.
"But the results mean I owe it to the silent majority to appeal and to fight on.
"For now what is important is what happens on the field. We want to finish as high as we possibly can in the league, and the FA Cup gives us the possibility of getting into Europe."
Allam believes the 'Tigers' name would make the club more marketable, and says he considers the word City to be "lousy" and "common".
On Monday, City season card holders had narrowly voted in favour of the name-change plan. But responding to the FA Council decision, City Till We Die said: "We are very pleased that the FA has recognised the importance of the historic name of Hull City AFC to the fans and the wider community of Hull.
Egypt-born businessman Allam announced in August that the name of the business that runs the club had been changed to Hull City Tigers.
In December, the club applied to the FA to change its playing name to Hull Tigers from next season.
Allam, who moved to Hull in 1968, is credited with rescuing the club from administration, with his son Ehab, City's vice-chairman, saying this month that his family had put £74m into the club.
Last season, Allam oversaw promotion to the top flight for only the second time in the club's history. They are currently 12th in the Premier League and will reach their first ever FA Cup final if they beat League One side Sheffield United on Sunday - their first semi-final since 1930.
The team's "Tigers" nickname is thought to have been coined by a Hull Daily Mail reporter in 1905, in reference to the club's black and amber kit. |  |

A lot of Football clubs have an animal name as their nickname, just not as the official club name.
I'm sure Hull fans are happy be called the Tigers as a nickname (same way as owls, robins, lions, throstles, wombles etc for those repsective clubs), just not as the official club name. | | | |
