Hull City supporters group 'City Till We Die' want club owner Assem Allam to ballot season ticket holders over his 'rebranding' ideas.
Allam wants to change the club's name from Hull City Association Football Club to Hull Tigers.
The 'City Till We Die' group (CTWD) yesterday wrote to Allam effectively calling for a referendum amongst season ticket holders. After agreement with Allam over the wording on vote slips, a direct yes or no answer has been proposed.
"We believe that fans want a football club that grows into a Premier League force, raising the revenues needed to do that while maintaining a keen eye on the club's history and standing in the football world," read a statement from CTWD, who have previously handed over a petition signed by 5,000 fans opposing change.
"We are therefore writing to Dr Allam with a simple proposition. Work with us to launch a simple and inclusive supporter consultation regarding the name change proposal."
